The Worst Plops Ever

When the TC is high, and we see a lot of 10's coming out, ploppies who split and resplit 10's become a major hindrance, "using up" the high cards - and we get fewer +EV rounds.

Thank you for clarifying and writing more clearly; your other post really made it sound like you were the one standing.

I know that guy!

He must be a real degenerate or something, because he makes it all the way over to Connecticut regularly as well.

Could you expand on this?

They booted you for being 18 I expect.

Why did you stay on an 8?

Some locales allow 18 year olds to gamble.

The only reason I can think of for standing on 8 is ten steering, but I've heard him tell that story before and that particular store's shuffle isn't particularly prone to ace tracking or ten steering.
