A,7 has got to be one of the most misplayed hands at the table. Last Thursday I was at Kewadin casino in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. They had the whole back section of tables closed and the front section was packed so I could only partake of the happy hour beer prices and watch.
I was standing by a table where third base was playing two hands for $25 each. He had 10,10 and A,7 while the dealer had a 5 up. All the other players stayed or hit as applicable so everyone was in the hand. He stands on both hands, the dealer flips over another 5 for ten and pulls a face card for 20 beating everyone at the table.....giving him a loss and a push. I stuck around to see the next two cards......sure enough....a 6 and a 10 were next two cards meaning the dealer would have busted if third base doubled down ...... and everyone would have won. I'm sure he was thinking he had two winners with the dealer sitting on a five up.
I couldn't tell for sure but no one at the table raised an eybrow. I know I've had people look at me funny when I've doubled that hand.
