after taking like 5 beatings in a row over the space of few nights/weeks...and loosing several grand (playing basic Strat)
tonight after another run of bad beats i put my last $100 (not my LAST LAST) but u know chips wise ..out onto the felt....

I got 2 picture cards for 20 the dealer showing a 6

now given my horrible luck over the past 1-2 weeks and this hand i said in my head "well if, i lose this hand iii quit blackjack forever" cause i mean i was pretty confident i HAD to win this one.....

BOOM.....the 5 comes out and the all i remember seeing was a picutre card dont remember what one...... i just sat there dumb founded....
on the way home i tossed my casino card out the window of the bridge and into the water.

I gonna find cheaper hobbie

....Your lucky, you had two face cards for the 20. Usually in that situation they teach the dealers, to deal the sucker an 11. Then you have to go to your wallet and get out more $$$. After you bring out more money, then they hit the 16 with the 5.

Bad beat Matt . I've heard racing off-road Radio Control cars is quite entertaining. That smelly end-product of animal digestion does happen. Very frustrating.

Are you saying that dealers can deal whatever they want from a supposedly randomly shuffled shoe? Are they hiding cards elsewhere?

I have met dealers like that before. Unbelieveable, yes. I saw a dealer pull three BJ's in a row. It IS amazing how many times your 20 is not good enough.
I like to forget those sessions.

NO.

If you see them take cards from anywhere but the shoe, call the police and sue them for $$$, because it'll be on 10x cameras. Their own cameras.
Casinos don't cheat, they don't have to.

Of course over time you'll see unbelievable runs from dealers, just like you get them yourself. My worst was playing with 2 mates. 6 or 7 times in 10 hands, when at least 2 of us (and several others at table) had good pat hands, the dealer drew 5 and 6 card 21s. Not 5 card 18 or 20. 21s every time. If it wasn't on a CSM it would have been a very nice count, but boo for CSMs! I did come out on top that night at BJ anyway.

No they can't deal what they want. After playing for over 40 years, I have noticed how you always seem to get a double down or split hand after you have put up you last chips.
