while at mandalay bay last summer i was watching people play a 6:5 game in one of the party pits(mainly i was watching the girl on the pole). There were a couple of seats open so the dealer asked me if i'd like to sit down and play. I told her that i was just wanting to watch plus i didn't...

i've gotten to split 10's a couple of times over my past few trips... didn't really gather any attention aside from others who thought i was retarded... i've also seen more than a few ploppies splilt 10's and I thought they were retarded... so i guess in either case, somebody is thinking...

just don't forget about surrender if available.

All of these stories are fascinating but i still think the worst plays are the ones where the ploppy asks for advice(in this case from me) and then does something stupid anyway. My last venture out i sat next to this large breasted woman(quantity, not quality however) with a 10 cent brain. I...

thanks for the input guys. I think i'll be checking out a couple of them. Repeat Until Rich was the one i was trying to think of as i remember it being talked about on the forum before but couldn't find it for the life of me. So thank you DyePaintball even though some didn't like your...

... but not a strategy book, something more along the lines of Bringing Down the House. Doesn't have to be based on a true story, but having blackjack or poker as a part of the plot would be cool. Just looking for something to read while sitting around the house.

go old school and make some flashcards... i made mine for S17, memorized them, and then later added the variations for H17... then did the same thing for I18

from what i have heard you can get $5 tables early in the morning and then they ratchet up the min throughout the day. Evening, the smallest min will be around $15... i can't confirm the penetration problem as i haven't been there yet... I also gather that overall the tables are not...

if you go to the PA gaming commissions website you can read the rules there... from what i read a few months back it looks like S17

how long do they usually run this kind of thing for? or is a thing where they run it every once in a while.... i'll be at PH in july and if i could pay 30 bucks and be able to put 3 meals at various places into that, that would be friggin sweet... and cheap

there was an update to this story here... http://www.post-gazette.com/business/businessnews/2010/04/26/Rivers-Casino-wants-to-swap-slots-for-tables/stories/201004260219 ... i found this interesting as most places seem to want to have slots in place of tables

ok, so if your max bet is 50, then play two hands of ~37.5 is what everybody else is saying... i'm not seeing the point of confusion... also, schelesinger touches on this on several occassions in Blackjack Attack

i was bored the other day so i looked through the PA Gaming Boards regulations for table games. looks like blackjack is going to the be S17, split up to 3 hands, no RSA. not sure about surrendering as it really doesn't mention it. for penetration it says something like, "the cut card must be...

i was just checking out the wizard's latest blackjack survey here.. http://wizardofvegas.com/guides/blackjack-survey/?sort=hedge&dir=asc if you sort by house edge there is a 6-5 H17 game with 6 decks DAS, no surrender and no RSA and it's listed as having a .16% house edge at mandalay bay...

I am an eternal pessimist because well, i was raised that way. I'm not holding too much hope for very good games in PA. Though the possibility exists that they could because of competition. The erie casino is owned by the same people that run Mountaineer in WV and last i heard they were doing...
