Been playing for a long time.  :)

Remember I used to live in "riverboat land" (Mississippi).  BJ got
my interest and then a friend pointed out "you'd be a natural for
counting cards."  I am not sure I am a "natural" whatever that
means, but I can certainly deal with hi-low with no problems other
than the minor detail that it doesn't guarantee you win every time,
just over the long haul. :)

But it is fun.  And between counting and flying below the PC radar, it
makes an interesting trip.  My wife has always liked slots but until
I got interested in BJ I would just go and watch.  Now she has to drag
me out of the table area (except for one casino in Vegas which is
another story altogether.  :)  )
