The end of an era, KJ! I only played EC a few times, 20-25 years ago. I played a BJ variant that, with the help of Automatic Monkey, we came up with a counting system. IIRC, the game was available at Caesars AC, maybe Showboat, and EC, and that was it, as far as I knew. Nothing had ever been...

I think we can go on with stories like this forever... And here's one similar to your thumb backoff: Borgata 2008 or so. I had been countermeasured many times there. After each one, I'd create a new ID/player's card. When I'd walk in, I'd scan the pit and make sure nobody in the pit knew me...

Wasn't aware of that, Don, but I haven't played AC since 2009. I followed Horace Greeley's advice. I don't know if it's still the case, but there was another obscure rule that if they flat bet you at $200 or more, they didn't have to give you a 1-10 spread.

Inquiring minds want to know your story! On the subject of other players, one time I was in the HL room at Harrahs Marina, at a $50 min table. I got the 5-50 placard placed in front of me (flyered from Borgata) and the PC announced that this limit only applied to me. One would think the other...

Au contraire, KJ. I had a very similar experience at Caesars AC - one of those high count, can't-lose-a-hand shoes. As I recall, there were 2 other players at the table. Long story, short (I CAN do it), it was a 30K shoe for me. A crowd had developed behind me, cheering me on. Once the shoe...

Not as disgusting as the nicotine addicts having free rein.

My favorite b/o occurred at Red Rocks about 20 years ago. PB approached me and said, "I'm really impressed with what you're doing, but I can't let you do it here." Second favorite, at Palace Station: "I think that's enough for today." I responded, "Thanks for the reminder. It's time to head...

Because aceside is nothing but a troll, as he's proven on all the other BJ forums. I've reported his post to Al and hopefully he'll be banned here, as well - the final BJ forum on which he can still post.

No, you're a mosquito. You are swatted off one BJ forum for your endless trolling, then land on another.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

Certainly possible. Successful ratholing is an art, knowing when and how to squirrel away chips.

There are other players at the table? If I have a losing hand, such as 16vT, and the count is positive, so I'll stand, and someone objects, then I say, "sir, you're welcome to buy the hand from me for what I have in the circle and play it how you want." Usually it shuts them up. Sometimes I...
