Sorry to hear about that bookerpa sounds like you had the same jerk meats that were at another place I was at the fornite. Youngsters seem to be wetting their feet in these places and making some of the most untimely plays that hurt the most. It's not that splitting tens in a high count is bad, it's just the way it turned out for you that hurt.:cry:

If that happend to me I dont even know what i would do...

you barely see people spliting teens and because of them you lost 1200 cuz they took all the high cards. Don't worry you get them next time booker

Last night me and my friend, tc3 we are playing two hands $50 and $50 i get two 7,7 my friend gets 9 and 8 vs dealer A and almost everyone at the table gets 20,guess what the dealer pulls....................................................................................21:cry:


it suks but what you gonna do after 5 hours of playing we came ahead $150;)

I was there about a week or too at Sands, honestly not the greatest game I ever played, but then again it was a $15 table too. The game wasnt so much bad as the dealer I had, he kept trying to short me payouts and my first buy in. When I bought in, I put out $100 for chips he gave me $95. At that point i figred it was just a dumb mistake that he shorted me $5, but when i asked to check it again he became quite defensive until the pit boss finally came over and and told him to give me the $5. Next hour of play I was getting into 3 seprete arguement about him shorting my blackjack payouts on my higher bets. So if i would have let that slide I would have been totally shorted about $45. If its the casino or just that particular dealer, im definitely not heading back to there anytime soon.

The dealers in the state for the most part are very green. I ran into a dreadfully slow dealer at Hollywood that also had problems counting chips. He had to reach into the tray no less than 3 times to change $100. They just don't have the feel for the right number of chips yet. I also ran into one at Harrah's that was kind enough to pay $52.50 on a $30 blackjack on multiple occasions. Guess that extra red chip threw her off.

I can tolerate one or two at a table, but lately when I sit, it seems like I have a secretly imbededd "nut magnet", and they all flock to me like I was a pied piper. The remedy seems to be to play, as I've been doing the last three days, at 6:00 or 7:00 in the morning when they're getting their insanity recharge.

I know. Three o'clock in the morning, this Hawaiian fruitcake, drunk and loud-mouthed, sits next to me and turned in such a way sideways at the table that he is facing me and close. He proceeds to yell at the dealer and the pit boss, complaining about the dealer "almost" taking his money for a winning hand. When it happened again (the dealer initially mistaking his hand for a loser, but then recognizing it was a winner) he yelled non-stop abuse at the dealer and the pit boss. He just would not quit spitting invectives. I was hoping the pit would remove him, but they did nothing, perhaps realizing he was a sure win for the house, if they would just put up with his antics. After a time of forced concentration, my patience wore thin and I moved to another table. Good thing, too; I should have done it a lot sooner, because I began winning like their was no tomorrow.

The moral: When you are counting, you control the atmosphere and the distractions around you. If it is not conducive to your best play, move on and don't look back.

Being from PA I have years of experience to say, even if it wasnt in the casino he would still be that drunk annoying s.o.b. you would see trolling down manyunk at 3AM after the street line of bars close. Best to just ignore the PA natives, its a losing battle.

Actually, I was in Las Vegas, and this happened just yesterday. Now I am in Seattle. Oh, the life of a vagabond! :laugh:

oh my mistake, still most gamblers are rude, obnoxious or just plain retarded. PA just seems to amplify all those bad qualities.

Pa. ers'

Most of my trips to the Pa casinos are fraught with yo-yos it seems. This behavior is typical to newer areas that opened casinos where carnival games ruled before. It takes a good long time usually a year before these gamblers lose everything and stop going. I'm still looking for a sweet time to go to the nearest joint to play. I just stay away except for a pass thru game on my way to another joint I frequent.

Nut jobs!

On a lark my wife and myself went to Pa last nite to see if these people sleep at all. Nope, they are there all the time and on all the shifts they don't sleep and they think. They even sit at green chip min. tables with the same logic of church bj. I think I'll just stay away til the snow flies then maybe just maybe they will be broke and lose their houses and move away. It took almost two years for one NY casino to rid itself of this infestattion.

They were in full force in xxxDelawarexxx this morning. Like roaches they filled the seats at CSM tables. I guess the house was doing so good, they decided not to open the shoe games today. Just added more CSMs like bait traps, little roach motels. Eventually, like you say, they'll kill off all these hapless insects, and maybe bring back some games fit for the human species. :sad:
