Is this Recent? If this occurred within the past week or so, this may be overzealous pit personnel trying to impress the new Harrah's mgmt that they are big time counter catchers. Most of these guy in the pits are "juiced in" and now need to prove their worth to new mgmt. This usually gets them...

Thnx

Does anyone have any info on some of the places to play in London, England? I'm visiting there in a couple weeks and would like to know if the games are worthwhile. Any info on rules, entry requirements, location would be appreciated. Thx C-I

Must have been SP21 I too play at Foxwoods, and have never encountered that rule on their regular 21 tables.

Re: Cover play I agree that if hitting S18 is considered "wrong", that is cover in itself. I find that playing the "wrong way" using I18 indices is plenty of cover at most places. I'm not a big fan of giving up EV on intentinal misplays, I'd rather mix the bets around in neutral to slightly...

Re: You guys..... My favorite A,7 v 10 story happened in the "Trashy Castle". I signal for a hit, Dealer says "but you have 18!" I signal again D says "why you want to ruin a good hand?" Now I have flames shooting from my eyes, and I poked the table so hard I almost broke my index finger. He...

Re: CSM hurts ploppies, too I have been telling CSM players that BJ has an inherent house advantage "off the top"(they all agree that this is true). Each round dealt from a CSM is "off the top", therefore you never get into an advantage situation. I generally follow that up with the "When was...

Re: Flyers at FSE I agree that it is mostly inappropriate for minors, and I wish it were not there as much as the casinos, town officials and most of the patronage of LV wish it were not there. The point is that they (the porn peddlers) were banned, took their case to court, and won based on...

Flyers at FSE I read somewhere that the porn slappers, et al have won the right to flyer the public under the FSE canopy now. It's a nuisance, yes, but I'm not a big fan of trashing peoples civil rights over some paper advertisements. It's also my right to ignore these folks, or (as i have done...

Problem is These people are so stupid and so dense that they are oblivious to any reference to comon sense or logic. Snappy answers get you nowhere with these types. They are quite convinced that they have captured the essense of the mystical side of the game. I generally agree with most of...

Re: Stupid dealer comments I had a dealer look at me as I insured a 16 with a max bet out, "why would you insure a hand you have to hit anyway?" My response (with a sheepish shrug) "It was just a hunch". Of course then I had to listen to the dealer's personal lessons on the best way to play BJ...

...and I get the deuce on the doubled 10 too! Wow I though it was just ME! Blame the dealer he's the one who shuffled and dealt the cards.

Unseen cards are UNSEEN CARDS. If you enter in the middle of a shoe all the cards in the discard tray should be treated as being behind the cut card. In essense you are enterinig a shoe with poor penetration but your adjusted TC is still valid. With regards to new cards, I have also read that...

Sloppy Dealers Had a dealer blow right by my 13 the other day and flip his hole card up to show a 20. I immdiately screamed "Hey, I wanted a hit". He turned the hole card back down and hit my hand with a 5. He looked shocked when I asked for another card and pulled the 3 for a cozy 21 and the...
