If you look at the dealers left hand you can see the bottom card in the first picture; wich opens up some opportunities.
Not really. Knowing the bottom card of the deck in play doesn’t give you much exploitable information. You can’t steer it and it doesn’t make much difference if you count it. Now if you could see some of the cards before the cut then you would have a very exploitable opportunity. Maybe she is flashing during the riffle, strip, stack, roll or cut. A necktieing dealer like that is better for catching next card information which is much more helpful. Even if you were getting information before the cut, playing with civilians at the table will usually destroy any advantage from steering.

If Teddy would have taken pictures during the deal you would have seen the hole card..
So you find a flashing dealer and you post her picture on the internet? Does that seem like a dumb idea to anyone else? And if you were getting hole card information, why were you betting the table minimum? Your story doesn’t make much sense to me. For all I know you got barred because surveillance caught your buddy using a camera at the table. I really enjoy reading your stories but when you try to pass them off as facts they seem to fall apart.

And I thought I was the only one who thought exactly everything you mention and that was only the tip of the iceberg of my questions. Absolutely none of it made the slightest sense in any way whatsoever to me.

Maybe hits to a one-page blogspot is ad revenue or something?

but he's also saying that if his friend had snapped the photo when she was dealing that you'd have been able to see her hole card.
i think the other point made was that she was also making payout mistakes to where essentially he banned himself at some point so as to perhaps not end up having to give the payout back if the pit caught on.
lol i don't know how mdlbj the 'author' could be anymore vague. maybe he's considering becoming a mystery writer. ;)

Ha ha, maybe. Don't get me wrong, I like reading Mr. Miller's stories and I think they are very entertaining. I just think that they fall flat when presented as non-fiction. He's done some research but without the actual experience he will fall into the same trap that Mezrich did.

I will write the details later. I just thought it was an interesting situation.

She will not last long as a dealer there, no reason to hide her face.

I tapped Mzrich's shoulder at a BJ tourny in vegas when he was an announcer and told him he told the TV audience the wrong BS play for the hand.

well I have gained 10 pounds playing all over the world and maybe have seen some of you playing in your favorite casinos on the strip. Business is good these days, shift supervisors willing to change the rules for a Mid roller ( cover ) Comps coming back into play wow.. Were on a roll..
