The Phoenix’s interview on the Blackjack Apprenticeship:
Never miss another post
I love scouting, the road, motel 6, Denny’s and Backpage.
50 seconds for a single deck countdown using Hi-Lo is absolutely pathetic! The dude must be a level 1 flipper! 🙂
If Phoenix is saying that the supernerds said that 24 seconds is good, that’s still to slow for Hi-Lo in my opinion. These degenerates should consistently be UNDER 15 seconds, EVERYTIME… ALL THE TIME!!! 24 seconds for Hi-Lo? Gimme a break.
The Phoenix should never, never flip cards when he was talking about that 6 deck. LMAO! 🙂 He should have been ridiculed for “flipping” one card at a time. But I would have ridiculed and criticized the morons who told the Phoenix to flip 2 cards at time. LMAO! 🙂 What a waste of precious time and an outdated technique. A slow technique.
Phoenix has a sexy voice.
