Yeah, good idea. Let them know you would have come regardless of promotion. With a promotion so effective they're sure to run more :laugh: In all seriousness, I see plenty of ploppies who are also promo whores. They won't decide to bar you from blackjack simply because you read about a...

That sounds about right, judging from the typical patrons at this place.

You would be well advised to use a specialised count to best exploit this game.

3rd base can actually be very beneficial on a good penetration pitch game with a full table. Very good for playing decisions on the last round.

Leave his ID in the car? That is horrible advice. That could open a very ugly can of worms if he is playing, and the pit thinks he may be underage...

They're nicer places than you think.

Easy. Give your ID to the security guard when you enter the casino, then don't give it to the pit boss to be rated when you go to the blackjack tables. You are now playing unrated. It is not the guard's job to rate you for comps. Or, alternatively, you could grow older :laugh:

Either that or disappear into obscurity and hope you are forgotten so you can get good pen again. OR maybe try a different shift if you're not well known on all 3?

There are secrets worth keeping and there are secrets kept for the sake of feeling important. You don't know which it is until you know the secret!

Nowhere did I say "a 2". You did not comprehend it properly, I was referring to the 2 max bets you could have out there if you cannot resplit the tens. Resplit the tens, and you could in fact have up to four.

I told you I know that. I am just sharing an ANECDOTE which helps explain my favorable impression of splitting tens. I know it is just my personal experience and has nothing to do with the math. I have been on this site for a while and am not stupid. Blackjack is funny. You can have a...

You have positive EV, but you are still more likely to lose than you are to win. Learn a little bit about blackjack before posting, thanks! :laugh: And who splits against a 2 or 3? That is just stupid! I won't even do it against a 4. Of course I could be making dealer 21s a quarter of the...

Sure splitting tens might cost you a round. But what would you rather have, another round where you will still mathematically lose more hands than win, or the chance to have multiple hands in the same round where you know you will have a strong starting card against a weak dealer upcard...

That's right. People who work for a living doing tasks you consider menial are beneath your contempt. Get off your high horse. Without them, you'd have no blackjack. Just like without garbagemen, what would you do with your trash? There are countless examples of how your life would be...

I logged in to post just that! :laugh:
