how in the world does one have any hope of catching a glimpse of the dealer's hole card? is the biggest part finding a dealer that has a habit of exposing it?
what is front loading? i believe it has to do with hole card play.... :confused:

best regards,
mr fr0g :D

in ken ustons book he talks about it says you need to sit at either 3rd or 1st base or across from someone making big bets since the dealer might try and hold the cards away from that person.

Mason Malmuth also has a good chapter in Blackjack Essays about hole carding (a.k.a. front loading). The glimpse doesn't have to happen when the dealer is tucking their hole card. You can often catch the value before that. You need to find a dealer that is either sloppy, not paying attention (on auto-pilot), or has trouble handling the cards (too short, fat fingers, long fingernails, etc.).
