Just for the "Record", and this must be said, is that the biggest problem that I have had with Hollyweed, is that he "speaks" and "acts" as if he is the "definitive expert" regarding Tournament Blackjack, when in fact that isn't the case at all!!
Just a little over 3 years ago, I remember playing with him in the first World Series of Blackjack Championship at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, as invited players. Prior to him playing his first round, he was standing back in the corner reading Stanford Wong's book on Tournaments, because he didn't have a clue about what to do or how to play the Tournament. Now here we are 3 years later, and not only does he publicy dis Wong and his book ("The Blackjack Tournament Bible, if you will, for so long"), but now comes out with a book touting himself as an EXPERT! Come on. Please!!
Professionals in any given field, in most cases take years to hone their skills, bring credibility to themselves and their profession, and earn the reputation as an EXPERT. Sorry, but one doesn't become an expert at anything overnight (i.e. 3 years) just because he/she says it's so. Just doesn't happen.
If it weren't for the fact that he turns everyone "off" both professionally and personally, with his way overboard antics, we wouldn't even be having these posts. As promised, this is my final say regarding the issue, and in fact wanted to "put on record", my cause for consternation.
Finally, definitely won't be spending my hard earned money on his book, and in addition, will be working on putting in place a Challenge Match between just the two of us, Hollyweed and myself, the real "Badboy of Blackjack", for at least 1 million dollars, on national TV, and finally bring some closure to this whole thing, with ho holds barred...
My "luck" and radiating/captivating personality (As noted at the taping of the UBT match against him in Hollywood, where I OWNED the audience!), against his self-proclaimed EXPERT status...
I guarantee that the final result will not be pretty for him...
Over and Out...
The only "Real Bad Boy of Blackjack"
P.S. Will try to be an Angel about all of this in the future, but will welcome talking to Hollyweed about this possible "Mother of ALL Blackjack Matches" between the two of us... :angel: :angel: :angel: :angel:
