POKER INFO - PROILE - Andy Bloch

yikes - this guy not too good

Andy is a Full Tilt guy. You can play with him online at fulltiltpoker.

Andy must be having a tough year this year.

I played with this guy at Foxwoods...he sucks. He sports his M.I.T. ring like he's some sort of wiz. Give me a break, man!

Anyone who takes the time to bash a guy for wearing his MIT ring has issues... Where'd YOU graduate from darlin'?

it just goes to show m.i.t. does not produce great players. ya they are smart but what college did phil Ivey go to? I think it was called AC tech if ya know what i mean. Block is just another rich guy who couldn't make it as a complete lawyer. Like Boyd.

Andy is a decent player but another example of a brainiac who falls short on potential. He may be an "expert on game theory" but he seldom practices it.

Counting cards is not what its seems, Yes many people can count cards into a six deck shoe. You can't predict what card will come out, but you can use a simple +1 -1 system and keep track of the ratio of small cards to face cards. When the count gets high (high card rich) you increase your bet to account for the percentage in your favor of getting two high cards. Many people count cards and make a living as professional black jack players. There are plenty of books out there that can show you the simple system. The hard part is keeping track of the count and not being obvious when varying bet size. Ever heard of the MIT Black Jack team that took casinos for millions? Read Bringing Down the House (won't teach you the system, but lets you know how a team works- and is an excellent read)

Ever heard of Ken Uston? read up on him or Kevin Blackwood's book "black jack like the pros" and he will teach you how to count a single, double or six deck game. Only catch is that it takes TONS of practice to get it right

First Of All This Guy Bashes The Dealers, Yells At Floormen, He Is A Disgrace And Insult To The Game.
Then He Does This, Raises My Blind On The Button, I Call With 9 -10 Suited, He Looks Weak To Me, And Im Always Right. The Flop Is 10c 8c 2d, I Lead Out And Bet, The Donkey Bloch, The Only Guy In The Pot Besides Me, Reraises All In. I Think About, And I Decide He Has A 8 Of Clubs, The Pair With The Draw, So I Call, Well To My Amazement, The Great Pro That He Is Has No Pair, Just A C 5 C For A Flush Draw. Well The Moron Hits His Ace On The River To Knock Me Down To 2 Chips Left, Then Chastises Me For Calling, Saying He Could Have Had 10 J. I Said, I Knew What You Had, And You Were Even Worse Than That. How Ridiculous, Going In On A Draw For All His Chips. Fucking Donkey. I Hate This Guy And Hope To See Him At The Tables Again So He Can Do Some More Donkey Moves And Double Me Up. It Was So Great To See Chip Reese Totally Spank This Donkey Like The Ametuer He Is At The Final Table Of The 50000 Horse Event, He Got Owned By Reese, Totally Owned

to the idiot below who said u cant count 5 decks in black jack, its easy dummy, had u ever read a BJ book on counting ud know, you just divide the running count by 5. pretty simple, if the decks positive 50, that is, 50 cards 10 or above in the shoe, the real count is 10. now go back to cartoons jr, i hear momma calling, she just left my bedroom with a mouth full of cum lol

I was a thorn in Andy's (and his friends) side for a long time, But I will give hime his due...When he first started as a counter/Team player with his friends they did alot of damage.
