If you get there before noon during the week be prepared to wait for a seat at a $15 or $25 BJ table. They have maybe 6 or 8 non high roller open. They start to open more at noon but it takes 30 to 45 minutes to get going. I was there last saturday and it was the same and they didn't open up...

I have a brother-in-law with a Phd in bio-chemistry and an MBA. He often won't hit a hard 16 against a 7-A because he doesn't "feel" that the dealer has a hand. I can't play with him anymore.

Go to the Parx HL room. You may be lonely though.

The discard pit in the table was the brain-child of one of the Parx VP's. She was fired (cintract not renewed) and the discard pit was also fired. This info is from the dealers and pit staff

If you go to Parx during the day, you will find way more $15 tables than $25 tables. I have never seen anyone getting heat for jumping in and out (except from other players). Coloring up chips is the norm, I have seen the pit ask a player to keep their red chips instead of coloring to green or...

Venting I've been lurking for some time and while not a counter, I play a solid BS game. Earlier this week at Sands, PA, I had the "pleasure" to sit at a $15 table with awful players. A continuous rotation of players in seat 3 would stand on 15 or 16 becuase they did't think the dealer "had"...

Parx does not require you to put up insurance. Some dealers don't ask if you want even money but will give it if you ask,

Thats what i meant. They allow mid-shoe entry (no, no-mid-shoe entry) Very bad English on my part.

I have not had any of those negative experiences at Parx. The pen is basically set because of the little notch in the shoe. Maybe the dealer wanted to color you up so you werent taking 28 of the green chips (figuring $700/$25) and she had to have more brought in. My last 4 sessions have been...

anyone know how many decks are cut out on the 6 and 8 deck shoes? has anyone done an actual count since they use that slot in the shoe to give just about the same cut every time? Thanks

In addition to the problems in AC there is talk of closing down Meadowlands and Monmouth Park. In the states mis-guided efforts to protect AC's gambling monopoly (no pun intended), they have opened the door for NY and PA to siphon off the players and the money. The race tracks should have had...

Played at Park today. $15 table from noon to 2 then $25. 6 decks, ASM, concealed shoe, slot in table for cards, don't/won't show burn card, real chips not electronic. Slot in shoe, cards cut after put in shoe. About 1 1/2 deck penetration. Pit boss kept saying 8 decks but no way. ASM may...
