He was one of the best card counter. So I wonder if he would have lose a bit of an edge with recent automatic shuffling machine and online play. (and I am talking about poker!, not only blackjack).

I can confirm that even the simple KO count is extremely effective in a hand-shuffled holdem game. I have made literally hundreds of dollars using it.

no way heŽd be a "legend" if he hadnŽt died before poker really took off. i guess heŽd be a matusow/hellmuth style joke well known for being a good tournament player/huge side game fish with very bad behaviour on (berating fish/dealers, getting on monkey tilt easily) and suicide style bad habits off the table (drugs, sportsbooks etc) nowadays.
