My first ST experience

#1
Today in my local casino I tracked a rich slug through the shuffle while playing heads-up. I made a precise cut and the slug went right to the top!
I bet a nice amount and at that moment a ploppy arrives to the table and bets minimum in five spots! Result: A stiff to me, 1 blackjack, 2 20s and 2 19s to the ploppy!

Not precisely beginners luck!

Maybe NOT beginner's luck, but CERTAINLY beginner's SKILL; which I'll take any day of the week. This is actually an exciting story! You are on the road to great success.

I wish I could cut as well as you do. But if I were you, I would've played 2-3 spots right at the top, to get as many of those beautiful cards as I can.

It's part of the experience, I'm sure that next time I will if I notice a ploppy sitting at the table. And now a question: provided that I play heads-up, should I bet one or two spots?

Surely you could have made a creative effort to somehow control the ploppy for a moment - back-line him - you spread to multiple hands too - explain that your most sacred cut done with magical incantation - whatever? Next time that happens, remember the extra part of the game. zg

If he had remained heads-up - one hand was likely the ideal through the clump. zg

I agree with you but that isn't one of my strongest points, I'm very shy and polite while playing. I guess I have to change this in order to be more succesful.
