OG MW Mike interview23 May 202600:55:06

Summary: In this episode, host Mike AP welcomes Midwest Mike, a rising advantage player (AP) in the blackjack community. Midwest Mike shares his unique journey from Michigan to the West Coast and back, chronicling his rapid ascent in the world of card counting. He discusses his origins, the role of luck versus skill, and his methodical approach to building a bankroll from $10,000 to $78,000. Midwest Mike emphasizes the importance of both technical skill and table presence, highlighting how his outgoing personality and sales background have been as vital as mastering the math. Listeners will hear about the highs and lows of AP life: grueling casino sessions, memorable back-off stories, emotional swings, and the lessons learned from networking with other APs. The episode wraps with advice for new card counters, stressing the value of developing a strong act alongside a winning game for long-term success.

Key Takeaways:

  • Midwest Mike started card counting after watching documentaries and training with Blackjack Apprenticeship, initially practicing basic strategy and running count before refining his skills.
  • He built his bankroll from $10k to $78k, experiencing both lucky upswings and significant losses.
  • Early on, his inconsistent bet spread limited his profits until feedback from fellow APs prompted him to be more disciplined with his betting.
  • Midwest Mike credits much of his longevity and success to his extroverted personality and ability to blend in, using his social skills to build rapport with dealers and pit bosses.
  • He details the emotional toll and lifestyle challenges of full-time AP play, especially when traveling.
  • His biggest advice for new players: Work as much on your table act and persona as your technical skills. Being able to interact naturally and confidently is crucial for longevity.

Notable Stories:

  • Getting backed off at Snoqualmie before fully mastering the game.
  • Playing marathon sessions and befriending casino staff in Washington.
  • Navigating back-offs in the Midwest, including a memorable $10k losing session.
  • The importance of networking with other APs and learning from their feedback.

Advice for Listeners:

  • Perfect your game, but also build your cover and interpersonal skills.
  • Practice playing under real casino conditions, not just at home.
  • Accept the emotional swings and keep a long-term focus.
