    Me too! It blew my mind.

    Dealer showed me the cards left in the shoe!

    Well I'm not currently into blackjack to make a living or even as a supplementary income, so it won't be all that hard for me to tell a dealer they overpaid me should I catch it quickly enough or to tell 'em I've lost a hand. If I catch it quickly enough, it can move fast. Is it so hard to...

    Dealer showed me the cards left in the shoe!

    CP: Wasn't there just recently a thread about player collusion with corrupt dealers all getting busted big time? And it turned out some of the players were just "going along for the ride" with the oversized payouts the dealer was giving? I agree with Martin Gayle. Whether or not you're...

    Video Poker - Jacks or Better

    Excellent! Thanks a bunch. :) EDIT: And for the record, I have put dozens of hours of practice into the WoO Java JoB. I've even hit a royal flush on it, though my name hasn't been added to the list yet. :( My inquiry in the post previous this one was to "expand my horizons" so to speak...

    Video Poker - Jacks or Better

    Link? I am so ignorant of the various tools available to educate people for the purpose of intelligent gambling, so forgive me for not knowing even a general direction of where to look.

    Video Poker - Jacks or Better

    I'm glad someone else bumped this, I was getting tired of being the only one. :p My newest endeavor has been to get my local machines upgraded to full pay. When I first posted here the payscale was: 250-6-5. Now they're up to 7-5. That's still no good. I want 9-6. I have contacted...

    Only in a gambling website would that second paragraph have ever been submitted. :laugh:

    Video Poker - Jacks or Better

    Ohhhh. That's the part I was missing. I know it was suggested to use comps to help get to winning percentages, but I wasn't aware it was required. I gotcha now. Nevermind that the machines I have near me are very bad, the maximum quarters you can play is 18-25, depending on the machine...

    Video Poker - Jacks or Better

    Not that I even have access to any decent machines, I've become curious as to how, on a specific level, people play JoB for a living. For example, do they stick in a hundred bucks and just play until there is nothing left. Rinse and repeat? If so, when do they stop? Where does their money...

    craps

    Imagine how much that would be if at somewhat frequent intervals the dice just teleported to a random spot out on the floor? "Come on daddy needs a new pair of shoes! *chucks dice across table* Oh **** they teleported again! Remember, the blackjack table second from the end in this row is...

    Craps is just like quantum physics? I wanna go play some craps right now!

    I would suggest to learn to be more patient. Patience pays off in blackjack and I don't think it's a good idea to "cheat" yourself by saying, "oh playing on this count won't hurt, it's only one lower." Just take a deep breath and wait. It'll pay off in the end. But that's just me.

    First, this post will not be as extensive or detailed as you are hoping. This thread has links to other threads/sites with explanations of various abbreviations. Unfortunately, $300 is not a lot in the blackjack world. You'll need a bankroll of thousands of dollars. Unless of course...
