    Dealer Errors and Ploppy Comments

    A month ago I have the following sequence of events happen to me: I'm dealt A-A and split against the dealer's 7. First split is dealt a 7. Next is dealt a 4 and the dealer pauses, so I signal for a hit. He's about to when the brilliant ploppy at the table with me starts throwing a fit waving...

    Single-Deck Spread

    Am planning a trip to a town where single-deck is prevalent. What technique is successful for bet ramping?? I'm almost sure to will find full tables of 7 spots and a shuffle after two rounds. If I am starting a new deck at 1-2 units, how can I jump to 10-12 units when the count justifies it...

    Craps for Cover

    I'll be in LV sometime soon and will be using a Player's card (I only make it to LV 1-2 times annually). I'll play a bit of VP if things get at all heated. I'm looking for a little "craps cover" as well but have a minimal understanding of craps (once I get past the come-out role and playing the...

    BEER as cover

    Last trip to a favorable game = slight heat and a ringing pit phone a split second after I bet table max. and am dealt a 21. This trip = a couple beers (most dumped out in the restroom after leaving a neg. count), no heat and a comped dinner.

    PLogic

    Plogic= what I call "ploppy logic". Playing a game dealt face down. Dealer makes her hand to 20 and beats the table. When the cards are turned over the ploppy next to me has two Aces and a 4. So I say to him, "Did you just stay on 6 ?!?" His reply, "Well, I looked at it as 16 and the dealer had...

    BJA 2nd ed.

    Just picked it up and I'm liking what I see. I have to vehemently disagree with something I came across early on. Re. the theory that you should NEVER increase a wager after a losing hand. In my former days as a ploppy, I often would increase my bet (many times 4-5x my previous wager) out of...

    Don't you just love it when...

    The count goes sky high, you bet table max. (5 x your min.) and the two ploppies seated at the table are dealt 21 on their $3-5 bets... REPEATEDLY. In another instance, one of them was dealt AA and hit (no, not split), drew a 9 and then hit again (drew a 7, stood and lost). Cards were dealt...
