Yes- taking the break or make card is superstitious I agree. I think we concluded different things from Asian's post. I took it as he'd rather the other player stand due to the count being high, the liklihood of this other player pulling a high card, lowering the count and in turn hurting his...

I fail to see how this is superstitious. In a high count you'd want the other player to stand for the same reason you'd want every player to get up and leave the table. His hitting could make a difference especially if you're using a simple method like the ko count. Granted I would tell the...

This is completely off topic but the mention of Joan Rivers IMMEDIATELY reminded me of one of the most hillarious stand up bits I've ever seen. If you've never seen it go to YouTube and search "Joan Rivers vagina". You won't regret it. :laugh: just look for the vid that comes up that involves...

Very telling statement here. By no means do I judge other people, and I even have good friends who go to the casino to purely gamble. They take a few hundred they're prepared to lose. If they get lucky it's a bonus. This guys gambling could get scary, especially if he has a wife and/or kids...

Ha yea, I've heard people seriously claim this! How absurd. A lady sitting near me who played the LL side bet 5$ every hand claimed she wasn't hitting it because the mahine was rigged. I instinctively laughed out loud before I could stop myself. That casinos housing some serious technology to...

Yea I've definitely seen odd things out of those machines - both good and bad. I've hit the lucky ladies matched queen of hearts more than once at the CSM and have never even been dealt it at a shoe. Also very odd streaks (I'm sure just as possible at a shoe, I've just never seen it) where the...

I didn't mean to indicate that they should come out in packs, I was just clarifying that there appeared to be no significant clumping of the cards. I've seen the inside of these things a couple of times and it appears to be a large wheel. I was surprised more of the face up cards did not come...

Had something strange happen at a CSM last week (I realize most here avoid these like the plague) however I play them from time to time. Anyway, the dealer was VERY new, he stated it was his first day multiple times, was clearly nervous and appeared very young. He was not putting the discards...

Let's hear everybody's mine- I had a weeks vacation and nothing to do. I took a few days, practiced and memorized basic strategy, and learned the basics of counting. I went to the local spot at the end of the vacation and sat at a table for the first time in my life. I learned reeeeal...

Hi everybody new to the forum here (been lurking awhile and thought I'd finally sign up). Anyway I was at a table today absorbing a beating, and at the beginning of a shoe the dealer failed to burn a card. Right as I realized he was not going to burn one, I was tempted to push a very high...
