    Whoever asked me in chat

    regarding counting the sidebet should email me, because I don't know who you are.

    A feel for the environment

    QFIT: "You see, I knew he had some training by James, but wouldn’t give my source. And, it was completely irrelevant to my point. My advice would have stood. Yes, he was trained by James in hole-card play." I just noticed your post, and would like to say that the person you were dealing...

    Dealer Tells

    Sucker's post reminds me of a stats lecture where the professor was trying to illustrate something that I can't remember, using the analogy of "winning almost a million dollars" vs. "almost winning a million dollars." If someone can think of what he was trying to illustrate, I'd be grateful...

    Dealer Tells

    AM: "Depends on the peeker." He specified the type of peeker, and it's the most prevalent peeker in the US. And while a 90-degree misrotation of the cards would provide some information (the dealer might inadvertently flip over AA or TT), obviously the poster isn't talking about such misuse...

    Dealer Tells

    "This method hasn't proven 100% accurate, but I am generally able to tell if he has a made hand or not based upon reaction." This is a great example of why poker is a great gambling game (for the sharps). I'm generally able to tell how a coin flip is going to turn out--I flipped 100...

    EX. CAA (I need a copy!)

    I think handymn hit the nail on the head (bedum-dum-ching!). Before anyone PMs BMDD, they should probably PM me first. By the way, I frown upon resales, resellers, beards, fake email addresses, and those who take their complaints to another board. These are not positive-EV moves, believe me.

    Anyone Want To Chalk This Up To Luck?

    Orig poster says biggest drawdown by flatbetting $25 is "$475, 15 units [sic]" and claims to have made over $17,000. Am I the only one questioning the numbers here? Imagine a $5 flatbettor winning $3400, and then realize that the betting scheme here makes the accomplishment even less likely...

    What is the most you have made...........

    "At the end of the shoe, I had lost count of my chips, color and value. Sweating terribly, watching the pit boss on the phone and computer, I colored up. To my dismay, I had amassed $12,700, IN ON SHOE! However, that one "hot shoe" was not all good. It was the first time I ever tripped a CTR at...

    Come on, guys. ------------------------------------------------------ READ ------------------------------------------------------ Or is everyone just playing along? I'd be more inclined to play along if the execution had been stronger. Methinks ...

    Hole-carding + Scavenger play

    I hate to waste even one speck of bandwidth on a nonsensical conspiracy theory, but now that it is picking up some followers (shadroch, cpanther), and I'm trying to clean up some loose ends, I have no choice. I already addressed the issue in my post here...

    Help explaining this to family

    I'm going to try to tie up a few loose ends on the site. Here's one: JSTAT: "Well excuse me ExhibitCAA, didn't you celebrate a barring at Barona as a badge of honor while being inducted into the Blackjack Hall of Fame there?" Let's get our facts straight. I voluntarily agreed not to...

    Chat lurkers

    I don't think Autologout is the answer, unless perhaps Autologout applied to anyone less than a Senior Member, or perhaps Autologout in effect whenever there are 6 or more people in the room. There is a nice benefit to NOT having the autologout--namely, the shill effect. Someone can sit...

    Zman's article on detection of an holecarder

    "I admit I am not a hole card expert, but ..." You should stop right there. Now, I AM a hole-card expert, and while this is not a topic I will get into any further, I will say that though there is some truth to what you say, there are more things in casino and earth, Aslan, than are dreamt...

    Zman's article on detection of an holecarder

    Feel free to change my post to "pick off the HC dealer" and the rest of my statement still stands. There are reasons that what u say is easier said than done. (If a card is flashed in the forest, and no wise guy is there to see it, does it cost a dime?)

    Zman's article on detection of an holecarder

    As you label surveillance departments inept for their inability to instantly pick off the HC player, keep in mind that card counters don't pick it off either. I have played on at least three occasions with card counters at our table, and at least three other occasions with card counters on the...
