Another fascinating report from the field, Mickey. Your war stories are both compelling and enlightening. I’m a full time wage slave who’s been AP'ing on the side for about 8 years. I play blackjack, VP, and other games where an edge can be found, and I read up on all of them. Books, websites, radio shows (all one of them), forums, online chats, I’ve communicated with and learned from plenty of players over the years, from the well known and respected to other unknown part timers like myself. Your tales paint a clear picture of what it takes to be a lone wolf hustler. I’ve found them very beneficial as I weigh out my own future as an AP. Sometimes the stories say I’m ready to make the leap. Other times they tell me to stick with the day job. Keep hustling, Mickey, and keep writing.

One of them was 3 to go, the rest were 4 to go. But at $500 it's a huge play even if you have to fill all five icons. I sat down on the 3 to go and spun it off. Guess what happened? The meter reset at $500 instead of $100.
