not absolutely sure about a month ago, I started with $1000, played $5-$40 at DD games, went from $1000 to $2265 over maybe 6-8 hours of playing. Went back one last time as we were leaving for home, went from $2265 to $900, which is $1365 or 273 units. Eventually ended up at +1650 or so before...

hmmm My son and I played there back in the Summer. Seemed fine to me. Shoes seem to run in streaks for me anyway, but we did better there than at the Grand and Caesar's where we stayed (we split the trip between the two due to comps). Seemed (to me anyway) that the pit was less paranoid about...

BTW I notice you post in many places, and your posts are always interesting and contain useful information (OK, maybe on the non-BJ message board we might not agree, but that's another subject. :) ) Do you always use your same handle on other message boards? IE on hitorstand, there is a...

thanks... I had read it when I first found this site. As soon as I looked at if after your prod above, I remembered that was where I had seen the original reference. Again, thanks...

another highlight These are the best of the best trip reports. Can't wait to get his book. One quick question. In this report, he mentioned something about (I think I am getting this right) grifter losing one of his books in a "prison camp". Any idea what that is all about? I might have read...

cool post, thanks...

Another common misspelling... "Rediculous". Correct is "ridiculous" but I see the former far more than the latter, everywhere...

a fine statement about the state of public education. Apparently ratios are no longer adequately covered in school. And the casinos are taking advantage of it, it would seem. :)

interesting question... I have a couple of "counter-measures" for places that really insist on player's cards. However, I have generally had good success with this: "I'm sorry, but I refuse to even apply for a player's card. I get too much SPAM email, I get too much SPAM US Mail. And I do not...

you seem shocked? This has been going on in many different ways. Here in Alabama, I have watched cities use eminent domain (hope I spelled that correctly) to take property/homes from private individuals and give to city/county/state government, only to have that government agency then give the...

one answer... My wife wears them. Smoke bothers her eyes. I wear glasses. Smoke bothers mine too. :) She keeps some sort of "Visine for contact wearers" or something in her purse, which seems to help. When we were in Vegas in June, it was way hot and dry. A few minutes outside and my eyes were...

probably that as you work to impress the women, you inadvertently work harder to impress the pit critters. :) my wife has gotten me in trouble more than once that way, suggesting I do things that would attract more attention than Al Capone walking through the gaming floor. :)

it is the author of a _very_ popular software series for BJ card counters...

what you are doing... is considered perfectly acceptable at any academic institution I know of. Just as earning the degree Doctor of Philosophy entitles you to add the Ph.D. to the end of your name or the Dr. to the front. Once you have been in a professorial position, that title is yours as...

ahem. :) They make these wonderful devices, called VCR's, TIVO's, DVRs and so forth. :) You can make a program air when you want it to that way. :) again
