Why I like having people backlining
I like it becasue sometimes the backliner may not want to do my play; if I have an edge I'll buy him out.
Another favorite is having your friend backline you for a lot more money; then they don't have to make the splits on -EV hands.
I played this a couple weeks ago
I counted it down; it was more (a lot more) than 205 cards for a dealer change. It was not close to 2/3 of a shoe, so my partner and I did not continue to play. This was a couple weeks ago; i guess that machines gone now?
some playable blackjack in Chicago/N. Indiana?
anywhere from Elgin to the boats in Hammond/Gary/etc?
I can play a $25 unit but not $100
What are the rules like right now?
I used to play in Foxwoods; S17 LSR and good pen, so delicious! Anything close to that around?
