D'oh! I knew the rule (and use it) - I just didn't know where the name came from. I've even googled it a few times. Thanks!

I feel like I am missing something really simple here, but why exactly is this called the Dr. Pepper rule?

This reminds me of a time I took a good friend out to the casino. He doesn't count at all, and relied on me for quite a bit of advice on his hands. He didn't know basic strategy down pat. The sonofabitch had more than 20 blackjacks in that 2 hour session. Honest to god. Here I was, "the...

I think people obsess over this stuff maybe a bit too much. I see all kinds of people sticking chips in their pockets. Maybe they get back up to where they started and want to stash the chips so they can't lose them or whatever. These people don't even know what ratholing is. They just know they...

I can think of a few movie starlettes I'd love to have a 5 hour BJ session with. :laugh:

There are also a couple other explanations. Article 86 of the New York State Liquor Code outlines the circumstances in which a bar patron should be refused alcohol or removed from the bar. In the restaurant culture, the theory goes back to the Great Depression and the soup kitchens. The legend...

My buddy and I talk hockey constantly while we're playing. We both know older player's jersey numbers so it's super easy to just talk about a fight that Neil Sheehy got into or how Messier hammered some guy into the boards. I'm pretty sure most dealers aren't going to know what the hell we're...

I have been considering selling my license. Book is pretty much brand spanking new, CD is is excellent condition. I just don't use it much anymore. I'd be open to offers. :)

I've done a few slightly bad plays for cover, but I don't think I could ever make myself stand on an 11. That's a play that no player, no matter how friggin' stupid, would EVER do.

We're supposed to be laughing at a midget, I guess.

I've been thanked for saving the table, called a good anchor, etc, by the same guy in the same session by playing the same hand different ways. It's a funny game.

Be In The theater? TOtally aRRanging a viEwiNg opening nighT.

I have a hard time believing they track chips that close. I used to do it all the time, even before I started counting. I'd pocket the chips I started with after I got up a bit, so that I was now only playing with "the profits", etc. I know a lot of people who do this, and they ain't APs...

I used to only buy in for $100 (my spread is $5 to $50). I was warned about buying in for $200-300 and betting nickels to start. Looks bad. But I got tired of the count going up in the first shoe, and me having to go from a $5 bet to a $40 or $50 bet and not having the chips to do it. I think...
