PM me with whatever info you might want to know.

It's happened a couple times on the button, with only one other person going on, usually from the second half. Also, I'm not playing for money. Still doing that "play thousands of hands until you get good" type thing. I know the obvious ones, the obvious hands, but poker is harder than BJ...

DeTalores, I have a question on a hand, since you're asking. What's the general feeling on K/7-10? I seem to run into that hand all of the time and I lose to an Ace high all of the time.

+1 on loving blackjack I grew up playing all sorts of card games, and I love pretty much all of them. Poker, BJ, pitch, hearts, spades, gin/rummy, go fish, crazy eights, spoons, war, speed, golf, heck I can't even remember them all. Anyone ever find a casino that lets you play pitch for...

No, I wasn't mistaken. I meant what I wrote, and I was 100% correct. Like I posted above, there's some serious logical missteps going on with the assumption that 3rd base is best, you're not taking the large sample into account. You're only looking at the sampling that you want to see. Say...

I think there are some slight logic flaws going on with the insistence that 3rd base helps because you get to see more cards, that's technically only true on the very last hand of a shoe. If you're sitting 1st base, after your 2nd card is dealt you get to see more cards before getting to...

I will try to find out, I have relatives that are regulars there.

I take 20-40 units to the casino. I go there willing to lose it all. If I double my buy-in, I stash the orig amount and play with the winnings. If I double that, aka up 3x buy-in total, I walk.

you should ban JSTTAT and this clown for this spam

Can I show up to drink and gawk at people? I'm better at stuff like that than blackjack.

interested for sure, depends on where it is

1st or 3rd base seems to solve these problems for me. I like 1st base because I don't like to hear nonsense from ploppies about my 3rd base play, especially the 12 v 2, which always draws sighs. I also don't think it's weird to watch everyone's cards. I think it's great cover to watch...

I will take everyone's advice to heart, keep my mouth shut. I did only say something when the person I was with asked me, I didn't even offer it up, I just said something because the dealer told them to double and they looked at me for assurance. I merely said to just hit. I didn't think it...

No, no dealer bet was out. I only spoke up when the person I was with was looking to me to confirm or disagree with the dealers advice. I told them to hit their 8 against the dealer ace, not double it. They pulled 18, the dealer ends up busting, and rubs it in my face how I was wrong.

I was out last weekend with a friend, sitting at a table for some time just playing low stakes. At least 4 or 5 dealers went through while we were sitting there. The table was fairly full sometimes, and down to just us 2 at others. When it would fill up it seemed to be random people stopping...
