The one I got the other night is I never follow the book the casino wrote or take anything the casino gives me as it's to their advantage. I never surrender or split aces. I take even money on blackjacks though cause it's the best bet in the casino.

I had a girl I was playing next to play her $100 and then run out. She then tried to hustle me for a few chips so I left the table. I came back to another table a few hours later and she was hustling another guy but he was on the other side of the table so no problem for me but he gave her a...

I hit for a large sum on a slot machine and took the cash. I was never so paranoid in my life as I walked to my car. I not a big player but always buy in as small as possible and rathole chips so my cash out is small at the table and am very aware of my surroundings at the cage and going to my...

I was at Foxwoods this weekend. I was playing and the dealer went to stop at soft 17 and then said oh I have to hit now. She explained the dealers got a memo that said in order to increase their blackjack revenue they are all hitting on S17. Another interesting thing was this dealer was...

Had a funny experience with hot soft 18 against 10 yesterday. Twice I had soft 18 against 10 and 2 dealers went right by me and had to pound the table to get them to give me my card. The best though was I'm playing with this arrogant woman dealer who had no clue but was telling everyone how...

Be interested to hear everyones thoughts on splitting 8's against a 10. I have been splitting. Lately all my eights are pregnant so I get 3 or 4. The other day got 4 ended up with 3 18s and a 19 and lost to a twenty. Boy does that suck. I always surrender 16 against 10 and thinking I should...

I watched someone split 4's against a 7. I said you're seriously splitting those? He said it can't get any worse. He got a five doubled that hand and then broke the other and lost 3 ways. I just shook my head. Just Saturday I saw 5's split for the first time. This was against an 8. He...

Here are my interesting tales from this weekend: Playing at my favorite spot on early Saturday morning. I was playing one on one with the dealer. I get 8 and 3 vs delaer 5. I put my chips down to double and wait for the hit. The dealer is not paying attention and skips and turns over his...

Got one I never saw the other day. I bet 4 reds and got BJ so the dealer paid me. I collected my money and bet 3 reds for the next hand. When the dealer came around paying everyone she took 2 of my reds and gave me a green :)

I was playing the other night and was on a streak where I kept getting 16 vs 10 or blackjack. I always surrender 16 vs 10. This women who was getting crushed kept busting my balls about surrendering so finally I said I don't come here to lose all my money like you I come here to only lose half...

Cp Yes, I do approeciate it. This was 2 years ago. We became friends. He doesnt come up this way anymore but still keep in touch. He's working a regular job but great friend and lokk forward to playing with him again.

I have been playing for a few years and use basic strategy and learning to count. I am a recreational player in it for fun but with the good fortune of making more than I lost over the last couple of years. I would go early on a Saturday morning and play at a $10 table varying my bets from...
