"ZenMaster" Flash, The REAL Story?

[Moses]

Here is the real story on Flash. He is a lifelong gambling addict, by his own admission. Craps, Roulette, Sportsbetting, and most of all Horseracing. He still gambles at all these things at a disadvantage and has made posts on various forum about wagering all these game. Blackjack too for most of his life he played at a disadvantage. He just flat out was and still is a lifelong degenerative gambler. In typical degenerative gambler fashion several times he took out markers at casinos and did not repay them. Casinos had to sue him to get part of their money back. He seems to view this as an "advantage play". I would call it a window into a dishonest person's soul.

Now at some point later in his life, Flash took up and learned about card counting. Obviously he settled on Hi-opt2, which is fine. So as he went into his retirement years he began playing blackjack at an advantage. That's great. Despite that I play full-time, I think blackjack works best as a supplemental thing. But since he was retired from a professional career (I think teaching Psychology or something at a college) and had/has retirement income/savings, I don't think he is being honest in now describing himself as a 20 year professional player. He never actually lived off his blackjack or AP earnings. At best his BJ advantage play was supplementing his retirement income and at worse maybe offsetting the other negative EV degenerative gambling that he still engages in and covering some travel costs.

In addition to not being honest about his history, he is not honest with his claims involving his position on the count debate. It is fine if he believes in Hi-opt2 and wants to promote and encourage that. But when he says things like "Hi-lo is a weak or recreational count" and that "no professional players play hi-lo" he is once again flat out lying. He knows many professional players that play hi-lo, some that he played with numerous times. So he is just flat out being dishonest, yet again.

And then there is his extreme condescending attitude and talking down to both newer players and experienced players. I won't even get into that other than to say he is just full of himself and misleading to newer players. Sorry for hijacking your thread about T3, just wanted to set the record straight. My issues with both T3 and Flash are not personal. It's just neither is being honest about their history and current claims, and that is misleading newer players and that is just not fair. They should be called out on this. The blackjack AP community has always policed themselves in this manner.

Interesting post. I can see why Norm "values" his contribitions.

McNasty continues with slander of "stuff and nonsense" to anyone who disagrees that Hi Opt ii isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread. Only now he does it while admitting he is intoxicated.

Norm. What is wrong with you? Can you not see he has totally disrespected you?

In the thread Zen vs Hi Opt ii. It doesn't matter who thinks what is better or worse. Play out 10k of each on Verite to determine which is best for you.

3nix applaudes Flash's drunkenness. Rah rah sis boom bore drink drink drink and post some more.

Isn't accusing others of "stuff and nonsense" while posing when you are drunk an oxymoron?

Pathetic.

Uzer and/or Flash. Ain't nothin gonna save you from your love that's gone blind. Slip into the Dark Side and cross that liiiine. On the Darkside.

Blitzer. Maybe you can get a message to this UZer cat. I've laid it out for him. Whatever he wants is okay by me. I just held up the mirror so he can define what's in him. My quarter says it's not the same kind of stuff that's in guys like you and me.

One thing is for sure. Im not about to take any shit from someone who has never stepped inside a casino.

So there you have it UZer. You want to play blackjack for 18 hours at a $3 table? I can show you the way. By all means, put your baseball cap on backwards and walk and talk while bobbing your head like a gang banger. But when people around are addressing each other by the name of a city like Memphis or Detroit you've managed to find yourself in some shit you want no part. But go ahead and waddle your fat ass on the back street up to the Mens Club for your gigilo act.

Now, your words imply you'd like a piece of me. You will have to get line. But no problem, I will move you to the front. All you have to do is show up.

Balls in your court lame ass. Now you have to look at what's "in" you. Choice is yours. Makes no difference to me.

BTW. I'm easy to find. Just ask your "Daddy."

I'm not sure what kind of feud is going on over at Norman's website but then again I really don't care because I cannot participate. The Blackjack Nazi (Norman Watt) will spring into action and use his mathemagics to make someone disappear or ban them. I wouldn't take lip services from some young punk or from Norman. Put'em in their places Moses. Remember that you are always welcome with open arms to the ZenZoneForum.

I always had the feeling that UstonZen was a "former" or "current" participant who got banned or who is either operating under a guise, that's what my intuition tells me. I'm surprised it's taken Norman this long to figure it all out. Ol' Norman is losing his edge it seems and is not the sharpest tool in the shed, when someone cannot see all the angles you know they are in trouble! I'm not fooled. Not in the least. Norm's clueless as to what is "really" going on with the characters at BJTF.

[Moses]

Thanks Blitzer. I was hoping you could help out a brother. I'm fairly certain if I make the same post over there as here I will get banned.

So I'm trying to bring UZer here.

As you may know Blitz. There is no greater feeling in the world than when someone is all mouth and then they look up one day and you are right in front of them. It's happened for me two, almost three times in my life. Boy lemme tell ya. Aint nothin like it.

If Norman is going to ban you he will do so because you've already pissed him off. I'm sure he already knows that your contributing to both sites which has to be disturbing to him. Look at that vandalism thread he created, perfect example.

I don't want UstonZen here please keep him over at BJFT.

[Moses]

I understand Blitzer and will respect your wishes. Lots of people post on different sights. I may be the only one with a prior distinction of only posting in Norm's. I didn't leave. He banned me. Also, he told me told read more. So I did. I just happen to find you guys to be the most interesting.

I'm sort of a JKF buff which kind of goes hand in hand with Norm's sight. Hence, you only know what they want you to know. "Create confusion to confound the understanding."

But you guys seek and find closure to topics like sixth sense, shuffle tracking, and the ever evasive "long run" to name a few. Great sight. You just need people to post more. Ironic, Norm is about people posting less.

Sorry to dissent... but Ustonzen is absolutely welcome here.
I hope that Moses is successful in bringing him.

[Moses]

The Blackjack Nazi. Outstanding! Shades of the soup Nazi (Seinfeld) I presume.


I hope you don't mind that I intend to "borrow" that. This is definitely a name fitting as this is exactly what Norm is. This is a name that will stick!

Make yourself comfortable. We have a wide variety of topics here at the ZenZone up for discussion whereas such things cannot be discussed over at Norm's BJTF. People may come and go as they please here, I believe only 2 people have ever been banned over here that I've noticed.

[Blitzkrieg]

Sorry to dissent... but Ustonzen is absolutely welcome here.

You know your right, he's welcome if he want's to come here.
