    First Exposure to Heat - Maybe?

    To me personally, based on my experience and your details, I dont think it was heat. As others pointed out, they ask everyone to get a players card, and people hovering over a table isnt unusual. But leaving because you were paranoid was the right call either way; cant focus if youre paranoid.

    Ploppy would do whatever I want him to do

    Ya, one more card wont change the count enough for you to change your strategy. So, I'd ask, do you believe in karma? ...and would the dealer have any idea why you'd tell him to double? He seemed to be (overly) considerate. If the dealer was clueless or didnt care, I'd tell him to double...

    Doubling down A,8 vs. dealer 6

    Im new here... should I not expand on the topic? My thoughts were if TC >=0 the BS decision would be a close call anyway. I always stand on soft 19, usually play S17 but sometimes H17...if I'm not counting. I'm not sure why Ive done this, I think Ill start double A8 v 6 on H17. :)

    Casino Queen, E. St. Louis "follow-home" robbery

    I was cashing out at the cage for just over 12k I think it was and this guy followed me there from the tables despite my asking him to leave twice. So I asked the cashier to call security. They came and held him there while they escorted me to my car. Aside from feeling pretty safe, I felt...

    9 spots blackjack???

    A Suncruz boat has a mere 3 BJ tables each with 9 spots and 6 chairs. Way too crowded. You can play two hands, not three.

    How bad is the blackjack etiquette?

    The casino I frequent will not allow you to physically place your bets on someone elses hand, but giving the the chips to that player, and having them slide it up into the betting spot is completely acceptable. I assume this is so the casino can more easily stay out of any conflicts that...
