Al Simon

Al Simon started playing blackjack in 1970. After acquiring a counting system in 1981, he began playing for larger stakes. It wasn't long after, that he

realized casinos would fully comp a player for playing21. He utilized this

option flying all over the globe on their dime. "See the world before you

leave it" is his motto. He has made several hundred thousand at the game,

after wagering literally millions in smaller bets. He has been refused play in many casinos due to his expertise, causing him to go incognito at various locations. Learning different dialects and accents has kept security at bay for the most part.

Al started playing poker seriously in 2002. He has acquired a winning strategy which he shares in his book about the game titled "The Think Tank." He has never had a losing year using the basics of psychology and martial arts training; use the other guy's inertia to defeat him.
