Cyclinggimepe....if those are 6-deck shoes, remind me never to play BJ in Oklahoma or Canada!
Now, this is just in the casino in my city, Langley, BC. They use 5 decks apparently (I asked the dealer). So far in my short time playing there, when I come out ahead, most everyone comes out ahead. But when the dealer hardly busts with his 2-6 up card, I always lose everything if I stay. I still wonder how well the shoe actually shuffles the cards. The shoe in Langley is solid black; you can't see the cards at all. This makes me suspicious of the shuffling.
I plan to check out the casinos across the border in Washington this summer. I heard they are friendlier to their players (not so tight). Even their slot machines are friendlier than up here in Canada. All I need to do is get my passport seeing as I think you need one now (or soon) to cross over.
