    Very nice rule-set and play ($10). Its a bit far for me, and I have generally speaking retired to give elderly parents some help.

    Baccarat Scam at Foxwoods

    After further investigation this turned up: http://pokercheats.richardmarcusbooks.com/2010/11/new-baccarat-cheating-scam-detected-at.html Seems to be a mark and track variation. Note the date of the article... 11/23/10.

    SP21 in the Poconos

    I stopped playing SP21 in CT in 2006, when the Split-Ace rule got dropped on me. I asked for clarification, not to my satisfaction, and not in accordance with the rules of SP21 as I knew of them. The game went from about -0.4% to -0.9% as I recall. Very bad.

    Anyone know about a bill to allow internet gambling in Jersey?

    But because Penn. can't play on-line poker from a NJ site, there is a lotta money off the table. We need to get'er done... US only for US residents (Dual-Citizenship and Green-Cards, no). :eyepatch:

    A shoe with no fives

    Waaaayy back in the 60's, (read by me in 1981 after his death in 1979) Lawrence Revere did a study of one deck without 5's and without Aces. In a rule-set with a 0.02% House Advantage, Revere reported then a gain of 3.02% by removing all four 5's. If those figures are even close in today's...

    Baccarat Scam at Foxwoods

    I will delete names prior to posting... Thank You Ken for your efforts a few years back. I note the use of a mini-cam up the sleve. There was a report of similar if not identcal methods in the forums not long ago. Edit: Sorry, the source and reference not listed... (Dead link...

    Any suggestions for suppliments while playing?

    Ian's words are very good. Tea is a good choice. Instead of the Viagara, try 2 aspirins, followed by a mug of hot tea adding a shot of ginger-brandy. Give it 20 minutes. It has to be aspirin 325's... no substitutes. Two Doans Little Backache Pills are also known to work well (Magnesium salt of...

    Foxwoods Deteriorating

    I know its an old thread, but welcome to 1992. When FW first opened tables in Feb, and throughout the year the crowded tables were a common sight. Back-lining common. $25 minimum the rule. Place jammed till 4AM weekdays. No liquor after 1AM. The only longer lines were to play some 1-4 Fixed...

    Foxwoods cracking down on counters

    No, drop your spread and raise your minimum depending on minimums: 25-100, 50-200, 100-400, etc. Here, the game is maximizing the frequency of the top bet. FLASH: yes the good ol' salad days sizeable 5-figure here but took me about a year. Worth every penny.

    AC vs CT casinos / suitable minimum

    Agreed, but be wary of "Checks Play" and "Black Action" calls that will draw undue attention.

    Pai Gow Poker Collusion

    Played PGP at FW for a long time up to 2005. Comps were quite good if you did not bank. Generally, I presumed the HA was halved. I always used to complain about the 5% commission betting at a $25 table... obviously 4% should be the case. Flat betting $25 for 30 hands (about 1 hr) seemed to net...

    97% slots at Wild Wild West in AC

    CT has always run 90% PB. Best was always 92% on $5. Considering pulls/hr its no wonder some of us call it the "stupid" economy. Pull a handle and win... push a button and win... buy a lotto ticket and win. Methinks the stupid economy smartened up a bit in the last 9 months... Not a lot, but...
