If you're being very technical, then yes it's in MD, but most people who aren't from the area would call it DC since it's only 6 miles from DC proper. There's nothing to protect when it comes to MGM. They are the greediest casino there is ($50 6-5 CSM's ) so anyone who wants to hit them hard...

Yeah, call for a shuffle everytime the count goes bad and you'll be 86'd in no time.

You can't find any tables on the weekend at MGM in DC for under $50. The rules for their $50 BJ games?.... 6-5 BJ and CSM'S. If you want a 3-2 shoe game, you're looking at $75 and up.

A sad day indeed Ken, Thank you very much for the years you've spent putting together and running this site. This very site was my #1 blackjack resource and was responsible for my evolution from a ploppy to the player I am today. As the years have gone by since I joined several years ago...

I have to say I agree 100% with the article. Aside from the way they arrange their smoking/non smoking tables, it's a great friendly joint in comparison to its competitors and is to be commended for their customer service. Personally I found their buffet to be pretty nice. Forget about...

Excellent game for the bs player Hilton now has $5 S17 6 deck games.. Sorry cc's the pen still sucks.

Counting is impossible Recently I ended up with a count of 27. I couldn't win. Therefore counting is impossible or I was doing something other than card counting because everybody knows you win when card counting. :cry::laugh::cry::laugh::cry:

I respectfully disagree. Your chances of being robbed in my opinion at a PA store such as Hollywood Casino vs. Trump Taj Mahal is far lower. It may be different with say Sugarhouse but to make a generalization like that I think is not accurate. The people who play at Hollywood Casino are far...

Let's face it. AC has an image problem. When my sister prefers to go to another beach in the summer with her husband even though I told her that in AC I'd make sure she'd get a comped room with all her food comped and show tickets to boot, thus saving her 100's of $$$ there's a problem. If...

Thanks guys for the congratulations. I hope you all get hot shoes in the cold days that are sure to be ahead. Just don't give it all back by doing something stupid like over betting when variance's evil twin comes to pay a visit.

I didn't have the bankroll necessary to attempt that too. One color at a time ;)

Oh I've learned over the years never to let that feeling of invincibility get to my head. Variance as you said is fickle.

:laugh::laugh: Thankfully I did!

Something to remember.... H17 isn't that big of a deal when the count is high. Also, you'd be surprised how much of a difference playing 6 decks vs. 8 decks can make because of the lessened dilution.

I was grinding away all night not getting any really good counts and was slowly bleeding chips, down about 30 units. It didn't help that I had the world's greatest ploppies at my table. From players who took whole minutes agonizing over whether to hit 15 vs. the dealer 10, to ploppies who...
