Hi everybody I'm on the road, just quit for the night. I'm spending a long weekend playing single deck down in Tunica. Pretty good ride so far.
'm using SVUBZ (Simian-Variant Unbalanced Zen) on these games with a generous spread. Started out getting hammered, good God the dealer was catching so many hands I started watching for cheating.
Now I'm getting RO6 pen consistently until a relief dealer came in and started giving me RO5. Disgusted, I walked away from the table, only glad that all the RO5 did to me was shuffle away a bad count,then I got this crazy idea about using the Grifter's Gambit! I figure, I'm not getting any heat, so why not use it in combination with a spread? And much to my delight, I found that all dealers handle heads-up players playing multiple hands differently, some of them either treat an opening round of 3 hands like 1 hand, or forget that you played 3 hands after you go back to 1, and that by manipulating the number of hands I play per round I can vary the pen I get from effective RO5 to RO8!!! All with a big spread.
Now if RO7 is like having sex with Britney Spears, RO8 is like having sex with Britney and her mother. It's totally obscene, you're not sure what you're going to be doing, but it will definitely work and you will never forget it. It was awesome, and I was trying to get the dealer down as close to the end of the deck without running out of cards. OK I admit it, I was secretly hoping to get the dealer to run out of cards just so I can see what happens, but I know nothing good can come of that so I restrained myself. I got her down to 2 cards once. Got most of my money back, switched into my "Uncle Chuckles" act and switched stores, and got some more back.
Here's a weird but not unpleasant happening- I voluntarily provided my ID to a casino and subsequently banned myself from a store. Why would I do that? Well, I'll play some VP within view of the pit for cover (cover is needed for this type of game at my stakes). I put some money in a $1 full-pay Jacks or Better machine and guess what I got. Now I could walk out without the $4K jackpot or ID myself to the casino. Real easy decision, there are other casinos.
A couple of more good BJ sessions, a losing session doing something else, and it's quitting time. See you tomorrow.
