Hello APs!

I am in the mood of reading some materials (books, articles, blogs, etc). Which materials actually made you a successful AP? It can be about any casino games.

Happy reading!

Which book made Tom Brady a successful quarterback? Reading stuff only makes you a successful reader.

Sorry came home from having quite a few drinks, maybe my post was funnier in my head. If you would like a list of excellent poker books I can provide those when I sober up but I think you were referring to other AP activities which I know very little about.

I'm thinking PaiGow Dan would be the go to guy for reading material for an aspiring AP.

Hahahaha good one GWAE. No I very rarely drink and I'm a happy drunk not a crazy angry person who threatens people with guns.

I stand by my book recommendations though, solid reads!

It depends on what your AP desires are. Blackjack? Well those articles are a start =P, but I also suggest several books in them. To add to that list: The Blackjack Life, by Nathaniel Tilton. EXCELLENT read. I both enjoyed his stories and numbers about blackjack/etc.

I am not a successful AP but I would recommend reading anything about Probability Theory that you can understand. Granted you don't have to know anything but then you will forever be limited to second hand information from people who did the work for you.
Assume the worst, believe no one, and make your move only when you are certain that you are unbeatable or have, at worst, exceptionally good odds in your favor.

How to win friends and influence people

EDIT: NOT A JOKE. Learning how to deal with people and learning how to get information out of hosts and other APs is always a great skill.

I didn't know wearing a Tom Brady jersey was a health threat, but found out in less than 1 minute it's not safe for being a for Patriots or Tom Brady fan. They're not afraid to yell profanities at you in public and say rude things. In a dark alley, who knows what could happen.
