I've been told by ploppies that surrendering is for wussies, except he didn't use the word wussies, but rhymes with it. He then got up in a huff and puff that same session after i surrendered 16 v T and he had a 12 and busted to 22 and the dealer turns up a 15 and hits a 9 to bust.

If it's 2/5 and the guy is terrible, I don't mind flatting closing action in the blinds or in the CO or button. For those saying they're never flatting with that hand, stop being nits :laugh: , the stacks are still deep enough that playing the hand is profitable in the right circumstances.

Pocketfives is another forum to look at, but nothing really is as complete as 2p2

From one of my friend's casino hosts in Vegas: Buy in with cash, not large chips (assuming that your only priority is to get rated better). This disregards any size bets obviously, but all else equal the cash guys get rated more favorably (I have no idea why).

I just give a sheepish look to whoever is giving me a weird stare or berating me.

Speaking of which, one dealer told me at turning stone that you aren't allowed to take the cut card and brush it along the deck before cutting anymore. Apparently according to him someone got caught with a cheating device in their hand and could somehow (I don't see how) decipher the best place...

Update: My recent trip there, there seemed to oddly be more heat at the 15 dollar min tables, than at the 25 dollar tables, double deck excepted. For what it's worth, you can get an idea of which floors care about their job a ton and the ones that could give a crap on what's going on. I...

I suspect I know which store this is and the type of area. I think he can make way more than 10k here, especially the way they operate. They don't seem to be very concerned with our type, or I got away with it very well by accident.

I once started with a green and ended up going 2x1500 when the count was off the charts. I'm not going to say where it was at, let's just say I ran super super good on the final few hands. I will probably never do such a thing again since I just found myself in a super good situation with very...

I'm new to this forum, but figure this is a good time to get involved and pop my cherry. I will speculate that the reason that 6:5 blackjack is a failure is because typically blackjack players are more intelligent (note, I didn't necessarily say they were actually intelligent) than your...
