Ploppy catfight

At one point during my time at the tables recently, I found myself playing alongside two relatively attractive women. One of the women appeared to be in her 40's, while the other in her mid 20's. The older woman was the last to join the table and immediately questioned every play both myself and the other woman made. Table was: DD, H17, DA2, DAS.

The two had different playing styles. The older woman knew most basic strategy moves, while the younger appeared to play on instinct and superstitions.

I just ignored the older woman's comments; however, the younger woman appeared agitated. When the older woman berated the other for hitting a Q-4 vs. 2, and busting with a 9, she responded "well, at least I'm making money. Ever since you sat down all you've been doing is throwing away your money. The 2 is the dealer's ace." Then, the dealer turns a 10 over for 12, and pulls a 10 to bust.

Filled with new-found confidence, the younger woman exclaims "SEE, I TOLD you so! If I hadn't hit, the whole table would have lost. You have no clue what you're doing!"

I looked at the younger woman, smiled, and slowly shook my head. Not to be silenced, the older woman bites back "You little smart ass. I would rather have lost than watch you screw up the flow of the cards! You should take this and go buy a basic strategy card..." The older woman tossed a $1 chip in the others direction. Looking at me, the older woman continues "Don't you agree, sir? She can't play!" Not really wanting to get involved, I said "Just play how you want and don't worry about it."

The bickering continued for the next hour, and after seeing more non-basic strategy moves, the older woman left the table and sat at an adjacent table.

The younger woman smiles back and says "Thank-you for not ridiculing me earlier. I think I'm going to give back her $1. Poor woman needs it. She practically lost all of her hands!"

The younger woman gets up, gives the other back her $1 chip, and says "You need this more than i do. " Then someone, who appears to be the young woman's girlfriend, stops by, gives her a very intimate kiss, and walks out with her.

Not too bad of a session so far!

The older woman, looking extremely angry, comes back to join my table. "Finally," she sighed. "That little bimbo won't be screwing up the cards."

Well, needless to say it didn't take long for this "basic strategy player" to get on my nerves. On one of the next hands, dealer is showing 6. I had A,8....so I double. Dealer had 4 under, then drew 2 and a 8 for a total of 20. When turning over the player's cards, I notice the lady had hit her 4,4 and drew a 5. When my cards were turned over, I received an Ace for my double down card. Obviously, she lost and I pushed.

She berated me for doubling when I wasn't supposed to. I shook my head and asked why she didn't split. Out came the "You don't split anything that starts with "F". I couldn't help but laugh. Angrily, she complained to the PB that no one knew how to play and she was going to take the rest of her money elsewhere. She promptly left. The PB came over to me and apologized for her behavior. Apparently, the older woman was a regular and usually bullies other players to play their hands like she wants. People have complained about her, but she is still allowed to play.

Ploppies definitely make for added entertainment. :laugh:

Well, even though the older women is clearly the antagonist here, if this younger girl was I would not have cared at all and totally sided with her.

That is pretty awesome, I'm going to go objectify women some more now!

Starts with F? You should have told her "How about we go to the room and start with a nice F, then I'll split?" :laugh:

Or you could have said this to the bulldaggers: Ask them "Hey do you two do bachelor parties?"

(Be very careful how you use these lines! That kind of commentary is one of the things you can get arrested for, some idiot feminist that no one would want to rape is going to construe that as a rape threat and call the cops. :flame:)

Oh god this is going to be difficult. When I am angered by nonsense I am really good at finding the right thing to say that really tilts someone over the edge.

I would've sided with the non basic strategy player and started saying things like, "Well obviously this player is far better than you because you lost money! Good players don't lose money. Maybe she'll give you lessons if you calm down and ask nicely."

Anyone who thinks blackjack isn't entertaining hasn't spent enough time sitting at the tables. It can be better than the $100 shows going on in the casino theaters.

It makes it hard to concentrate and keep a accurate count when you get goofy ass people at the table. I had a great night going last fall when some bimbo walks in,sets down, loses 40 bucks, leaves, comes back with some guy she picked up by the bar and talked into spotting her $100 to play. She was an idiot, about 25, her new boyfriend was about 40 and a real dumb ass. she lost the 100 fast and insulted the asian dealer every chance she got, and talked like a drunken sailor the entire 45 minutes she was there. she finally left with her boyfriend and her slutty mouth. I told everyone at the table I was going to go home and give my daughter a big hug.

Entertainment

Some of the things you see and hear at a blackjack table can be more entertaining than most of what you can find on television and get the right crew of mutants together you can have your very own little episode of the "Jerry Springer Show"! It can be quite entertaining. This one sounds like one of those real classics though and to watch women get pissed off and really vent on one another is often quite a sight to behold, especially at a blackjack table... add a little booze to the equation and you have yourself the makings of a great reality show that would put "Housewives of wherever the hell those chicks are from" to shame.

Often entertaining, but quite often outright depressing.

My favorite thing is when I do odd index plays that get ploppies angry at me for screwing up the flow. I doubled down a soft 20 vs 6 in a high count and get an ace. Dealer flips over an 8 and then a seven and makes 21. Everyone loses except for me, and suddenly everyone's yelling at me. If I hadn't taken that ace, the dealer would have had 22. A few hands later, the count is still high and I get a twenty vs 5. I split the tens and get crappy cards on each. The dealer manages to pull another 21 and everyone loses. Everyone says that I don't know how to play blackjack and I'm the biggest idiot they've seen. The pit boss was in earshot, and I couldn't have heard any better words from the ploppies at that moment. A few hands later, I got a pair of nines vs dealer 8. The ploppies get in an uproar when I split the nines. I get 2 face cards on them, so I am happy with my 19s. The dealer had a 6 in the hole then drew a 5 for a 19. At this point the ploppies are steaming mad at me and I tell them that they can leave if they don't want to play with me. And they all cleared the table, leaving me heads up in a positive count.
