games are so much worse in Vegas than pre covid

I had someone betting 1/10th of what i was betting jump into my double deck game and it was pretty obvious what were were doing. I was there first and he should leave just on that alone- but when I'm also counting he's increasing his chances of being caught when normally at his spread he could...

i got back into blackjack as a profitable side hobby but i've been a poker pro for over a decade this year i've only gotten in about 400 hours (mostly jan and feb) in poker. i'm up about 34k. 22k of that was one session. coming off of back to back -8,000 dollar days. variance really is a crazy...

that's a shame pre covid they were giving 75 %

I've seen people surrender all kinds of stuff. Now I RARELY see people surrender correctly only. I've seen people who never surrender and people who surrender 12 vs 10. I agree the most common surrender is 16 vs 10. I have no problem taking insurance and then surrendering. After all the reason I...

you'll get paid. Anywhere in AC i've been that ask me to lower my mask insta paid me out after pulling it down. Half of the cashiers even forget to ask. It's not like you flash your face and they call upstairs to verify. Even if they realize you used someone else's card you'd already be long out...

nugget had 5 double deck tables on the main floor for a few years but that was down to 2 at the end of last year and from what i've been reading is now 0

probably variance although i'd be a lot more concerned if i got way tpo many high counts. i had back to back to back orleans trips at last year where i was getting max bets out on double deck in probably 2/3rd of the "shoes' and got clobbered both times. About six months had an over night dark...

i play an hourish tops on double deck in vegas for every hour i play there has been about an hour of travel time.sometimes i go somewhere and get to play 90 mins (some places are more tolerant than others- and i also tend to push things a lot more on my last few days of a trip), sometimes i go...

I've been backed off in 8 minutes at the el cortez on dd having only bet my min and 2x min on a couple of hands because the count never rose, and I've last 90 mins spreading 50-300 on double deck on different trips. Sometimes the pit watched me the entire time, and I did a few things to throw...

Don thank you for all the work you've done. If I was going to break even for a trip I'm the opposite of you. To me it feels better to be losing and get it back than to be up and lose all of the profit. But everyone is different.

You are In PA by law games are ALL 3:2 ,DAD,LS Some places let's you rsa Pen varies a lot from place to place and as far as I know all games are either 6 deck or 8 deck Although a few years ago some places had double deck

I pay attention in double deck pitch games to make sure nothing shady is going on. I'm sure others out there know better than I everything to look out for. I did have this witch drop the deck on me when I could have gotten another round or maybe two in a good count about a year ago at the...
