It happens :-( In fact, I had to remember to look disappointed. I think I look like I'm about to kill somebody when it happens to me. ;-) Well, a five figure loss (including a bad session the following night) is nothing to smile about, but it comes with the game, I suppose. I actually had...

Happened to me an hour ago! :-( Lost just over 5% of my bankroll on two wonged-in shoes!!! Lost damn near every hand and yes, the table looked at me like I was a moron as I pressed my best into the losses while insuring stiffs for big bucks (didn't get one insurance bet tonight, either). It...

I'd lose the PhD on the cover Were you planning on keeping the same subtitle "Lessons In Winning At Blackjack And Life"? This is similar to Ian Andersens' "Burning The Tables In Las Vegas" subtitle "Keys To Success In Blackjack And In Life". One good thing about this is that people searching...

I'd lose the PhD on the cover Eliot, I love this site, and I wish you the best with your book. I'm sure it will be a best-seller! As for the jacket, perhaps you should save your credentials for the inside jacket. Your target audience is the ploppies -- lazy by definition. They want a nice...

Great job not getting barred..... I spent a week in Vegas not too long ago, during which I played the Plaza a few times at green chip level. First couple of times went okay in terms of heat, but I got major heat the final visit. As I was getting ready to go, that attractive Asian woman you...

Still there..... Yes, it's there. Comps to the restaurant are easy to come by as well. Very sweaty, though.

Just leave that line blank..... They won't say a word. I've NEVER given my (or any other) SS# to a casino, and no one's ever asked for it for a player's card.

Went there a couple of months ago......Bi Big place with a good selection of books. I bought BJA3 and Burning the Tables there.
