Come on guys, everything can't be taken so literally. You're not an AP if you believe everything in the AP world is cut and dry.

EVERYTHING CAN be AP'ed given the right circumstances. And there certain things people can do for cover or just plain entertainment. Being able to separate them and get more positive EV than you give up is key.



There's AP's and then there are anal AP's who wont bet a penny on anything negative whatsoever, probably the same guys who never tip for anything .

Obviously there's people who believe they can beat the odds but they are seriously deluded.

If you're actually trying to figure out if you're an AP by reading this thread then ya, you're probably not an AP.

There's so many different degrees of AP's. As a general rule no two AP's are exactly the same. There's guys who AP but don't actually make a living or anything close while doing it. I think that's the difference between the term AP and professional gambler. A professional gambler makes most of his money gambling. An AP mostly searches and plays stuff that has positive expectation.

We need more examples in the thread! It keeps going different directions =p.

IF you just won several thousand at the tables (AP'ing) and you DON'T play the openly visible mults on the .05, .10, or .25 UltX, youuuuuuuu might not be an AP.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

You might NOT be an AP if you can't answer "How much would the six million dollar man cost?" as a trivia question. You might also NOT be an AP if you were actually suppose to ask that trivia question in today's dollars from the 1970s TV series.

You MIGHT be an AP if you overthink it though.

If you're confused why people throw out weird numbers on "how sure" they are about something, like 99.54%, 99.73%, or 98.01%.....you might not be an AP.

Youuuuuuu might not be an AP if you are counting on winning the $25 Grand Prize if you only have a couple of entries. Help me with the math here, it's like a one in a hundred long shot? Is that right? What did you bet of your own money....thinking.....slowly.....
I might be a winner, I didn't cheat, I didn't gamble any of my money ( or the casino's money that I won from the last couple hands ), I might still be a winner.
But I'm pretty sure Iiiiiiiiii am not an AP.

I have a rather unruly full head of hair, I am a good target for scalping.
Rather crude practice however. I believe the Europeans introduced it here, maybe they ran into some obscure practice here and ran with it, expanded on it, made a 'bounty' thing out of it.
Odd that you mentioned it, I haven't yet understood your meaning in context.

Parka + hoodie + Vegas = heatstroke.

If you wear a parka and a hoodie in Las Vegas just so you can pass out and get a free ride in an ambulance to the hospital nearby where you wanted to go anyway, youuuuuu might be an AP.

I have about 8 favorites and more than a few honorable mentions. It'll be interesting to see how different people rate some of these; Mission, Face, and I are 3 very dissimilar people IRL.
