    What are you talking about?
    I'd assumed everyone's reading the 4 thread on Eli, Deeb etc. Privateworld and Glantz are going at it sort of, that's all.

    Edit:
    You know what's odd? Druff's reaction every time I bring up Privateworld.
    It seems he doesn't like the this whole "Who's Privateworld" discussion. Hmmm interesting.

    Bart:

    I don't understand all of the hate being thrown at you here. Whether or not you have a pit gambling problem, that doesn't affect whether or not people should take your advice regarding poker play. Those are two totally different things.

    I am confused about one thing, though.

    You are claiming to have earned Seven Stars via blackjack play (or at least partially having done so), and thus are claiming that your expected losses are small compared to Seven Stars benefits.

    I have to disagree with this. You get rated VERY POORLY at pit games, and it's very hard to accumulate many tier credits by playing in the pits. Even worse, because you don't accumulate enough tier credits in a day, you also lose out on the all-important bonus tier credits (5000 bonus per 2500 base tiers earned).

    I have to imagine that one would have staggering expected losses if they played enough blackjack to earn Seven Stars.

    Simply put, if you don't earn Seven Stars via 99%+ video poker, it's not really worth it.

    Todd,

    This isn't really the point of this thread..but we can certainly discuss them. I would love to come on and tell you what happened with the promotion and how Caesars treated me like dirt.

    But if you play 9/6 JOB at 99.54 with getting 1 tier credit per $25 played are you saying that you will lose less per point than playing at say -.35% at usually full blackjack tables? To get 5000 pts at 9/6 you would need to pump through $125k for an expected loss of about $620. If you play blackjack at 80 hands and hour at $500 a hand you are losing at about a $140 an hour clip. Do you know what the points are as they equate to average blackjack bet size per hour?

    Again I don't gamble for profit at BJ or VP its mostly to wind down, for recreation and to get some comps. I don't buy expensive clothes, don't have a $20k watch, or have strip club and sports gambling leaks, and I own my car. Whats the big deal if it cost me $1000 to get 5k points rather than $620 if I get enjoyment out of it? With less variance I might add as most of the return in JOB is the Royal.

    I'm pretty sure these guys are just hardcore trolls. I may have once said coming off of some ridiculous $10k tournament bad beat in Omaha 8 that I "felt like getting drunk and playing blackjack"..not sure how that has spiraled into this now, or how it effects my poker play or CLP.

    Exactly. He can quote the theoretical house edge all he wants but the actual win/loss is not going to be anywhere near that number. Especially when you got some idiot pitboss not rating you properly.

    Hardcore troll has a question: What happened between you and Limon? Did you take all the advice he told you and repackage it to sell to your subscribers?

    In my understanding, the status level that you receive from Ceasars has nothing to do with free play cash offers that you get or your Hosts discretion with regards to comps.

    Definitely not as my training deals with the technical aspects of live, cash game, NL Holdem.


    I'd love to share with you all on Todd's show the incompetency of my host, Ceasars, and the way they have treated what they preceive be to be a "high roller customer". I am also open to discussing slightly negative ev comp play.

    Bart,

    Todd didn't directly answer your Total Rewards tier credit question, so I will: In general, you get reward credits (and tier credits) equal to about 2-3% of your expected loss playing table games. So in your example, a $140 expected loss you mentioned gets you about 400 reward credits and 400 tier credits. To reach the 5,000 tier credit threshold to get the 10K bonus, your theoretical loss would have to be around $2,000 for the gaming day.

    Now, you can play blackjack at a full table, with the dealer hand shuffling, which decreases hands per hour and expected loss per hour. But then again, to play the best rules at a CET property on the Strip, you'd have to play in the high limit rooms, and those tables may not be full. You can also act like a casual gambler who doesn't know basic strategy, and the supervisor might rate you as a casual player. You can play the side bets such as Lucky Ladies once in a while and call attention to it, and you'll get rated better.

    However, in my experience (as a Seven Stars member), if you're going to play table games at CET properties to relax and earn tier credits, play Spanish 21 (house edge: -0.37). You get rated by the supervisor right away as a mega-fish because you're hitting 13's against dealer's 5's and 6's all day long and hitting hard 17 against an Ace. You can use a very basic count and bring the house edge to basically 0% and get away with it. It's a slower game because everyone plays Match the Dealer, and the game is most likely hand shuffled.

    And the best reason, Mr. Hanson? Beautiful Asian women gamblers seem to gravitate toward Spanish 21 (YMMV).

    ---

    And Todd Witteles would never, ever play $25:1 tier credit video poker.

    Is it ethical for a broke loser to panhandle for staking deals from people he is being paid to coach, however unqualified he may be?

    Why does Live At The Bike hate you?

    How come your growing successful business can no longer afford advertising on an alleged pedophile's weekly podcast whose entire audience is poker players?

    There is plenty of 99.5+% VP at Caesars for $10/pt, Bart Hanson. Amazing that a savvy comp expert such as Bart Hanson doesn't know this.

    Even more amazing that you claim to prefer BJ for tier credits yet have no clue what the earn rate is. trollololol For the record, genius, table games give about 1.5 TCs per base $ bet per hour, or roughly 1/4 of the points earned per dollar risked on your blackjack addiction vs good machines with similar edge. You'd only need to play 6.5 hours per day of $500 blackjack to get the 10K bonus points. It's a heckuva deal! Imagine all the tight black t-shirts you could buy with those losses, Bart Hanson!

    Maybe I should start a business coaching 3rd grade math to failed media whore poker props.

    So you define 2% as most of the return? You'd be better off playing 9-6 and tipping the slot attendant 50% of royals than the retard 9-5 that you like to play. Your innumeracy and lack of basic gambling knowledge is truly stunning, Bart Hanson.

    Yet those skills aren't necessary in poker, right Bart Hanson? You may have your mental and character deficiencies but everyone knows you're a huge winning poker player. Let's go ahead and ignore the fact that you've played a full tournament schedule every year for the last decade yet lack even a single six-figure score. Let's ignore that you aren't seen playing, let alone winning, in the high stakes LA games where it's even possible to make a decent living. Let's ignore that you had to be a casino employee and take every media gig you could hustle to actually pay your bills.

    So your winnings came mostly from untracked Euro sites?

    Why all the hate for Bart? Given all the scumbags and cheaters in poker he seems an odd choice of target.

    Apparently Professional Talk has a fucking ass chaffing regarding Bart Hanson for what reason I think we would all like to know because it seems odd just taking pot shots at a guy whos reasonably successful. Is it out of jealousy perhaps??? Wouldn't be the first time trolls have gone after somebody who they were jealous of (not saying PT is jealous just offering a possibility). The whole dropping money in the pits is a bullshit cheapshot because everybody knows Ivey does it and Ivey is still considered one of the top poker pros in the world and likely will be for a long time. (and was smart enough to find an edge to fuck the cheating casinos and now they don't wanna pay up,... they will eventually I'm guessing though at least Borgata in the States that is). All Ivey has to prove was they knew what he was doing and allowed it knowingly hoping he'd drop the money back to them and when he didn't only then did they get pissed off and cry they'd been raped..

    Ivey is a master AP who exploited the image of a degenerate.

    Bart is a degenerate who markets himself as an AP to sell snake oil.

    Bart Hanson has already substantiated all of the facts I stated about him in the thread. On which points do you need clarification, Andrew Welch, business partner of Bart Hanson?

    (Seriously though, how hard do you get while Bart is rimming your wife?)

    A few comments here:

    - It is not allowed to post pictures of family members (or live-in girlfriends) of users here. Please do not do that.

    - I am moving this Bart Hanson / IAmProfessionalTalk argument to its own thread

    - I don't understand this whole fight in the first place. Even the accusations being leveled at Bart don't seem very serious, so what's the big deal?

    IAmProfessionalTalk, you're a very good poster everywhere else here, but I don't understand you in this thread. The other users here seem similarly perplexed.

    Another example of your dismissive attitude toward the forum community?

    I guess I tuned out Hanson on the radio. I only recognize the name cause Drexel has some fun with it. I missed everything but what I saw here.

    That said.

    From post one it was obvious IAPT was operating several levels beyond what the rest of us experience gambling. Not just the dollar amounts but the seriousness with which he approaches how he makes his living.

    As a professional, IAPT clearly finds Hanson's work inferior and wanting. That's one thing. I imagine what has him truly offended and on the march is that Hanson apparantly sells coaching and otherwise purports to be an expert and markets himself as such.

    It's a professional beef. He's calling him out.

    That you, Druff, have never engaged IAPT in any way has not gone unnoticed by me.

    I am starting to sound like Marty, but you really do come across to me as dismissive of your forum members. This is best evidenced when you pick up a call on the radio show.

    Maybe you view this whole forum thing as a pain in the ass or exhausting and it leaks through. Honestly, I can't blame you. But I think I do detect it.

    Most of these guys have pretty interesting stories and deserve more interest. I remember a moment during the radio show when Drexel & yourself were having a subtle battle about the direction of the conversation. You had some agenda item and Drexel was kinda insistent on spending some time on air with Traderusky. Trader is obviously another interesting guy - and thank god Drexel won out.

    I digress. If your attitude toward the forum was healthier I think you would consider IAPT's beef more seriously.

    You and Drexel are god on the radio. I ain't trolling you. Just sparring with what I see here.

    Nothing but respect for Bart and all the work he's put into his game and CLP.

    Don't see any valid points made by OP.
