I haven't seen the setup yet, but will make an effort to get there this weekend.

The game minimums may be time-of-day and weekend sensitive. I have friends who go the MGM National Harbor and they told me the lowest minimum is $5o on the floor and the lowest minimum in the high limit area is $200 whenever they go. They also say it is always packed with people. They also...

Good question. I suspect they give you a newly shuffled deck each and every round, but that they do not make this apparent to the player. Why 8-deck? Makes it even more to the house advantage. I could be wrong; this is just my instinct or natural paranoia.

Exactly what friends of mine who went there reported, but I did not report since none were card counters per se. Nothing attractive about the games, mostly Asian, and a small place besides.

Is it still as sweaty as it's reputation says? Jackie Gaughan has been gone a long while.

It would be a boon for Las Vegas, just as prizefights are. People would drive from California, plus LV has 1.5 million of its own. I can imagine a Superbowl in Las Vegas. It would be good for business, plus LV is a real sports town. Now they have Hockey, why not Football? It would be a...

If it were scientific over the years, then why, oh why, was he playing a machine shuffled game in the first place? If his decision was not to play on the third night, then it was based on anecdotal evidence from the first two nights, not years of scientific study. Am I missing something? Oh...

A floor supervisor for one of the MGM Resorts casinos told me they had reduced all the 6-deck low limit games to 6 to 5 but that 3 to 2 was still available in the high limit areas. He also said they had moved toward CSMs, as well, not that it matters if the game is already 6 to 5.

Well, I appreciate that, but I may have overstated the case for coveting, since it's not so much the belongings of our neighbor that we seek (as in stealing) as much as equality in possessing as much as our neighbor has or superiority in possessing more than our neighbor has. Nothing wrong with...

Covet... I guess I plead guilty. Keeping up with the Joneses, making your mark, getting ahead, being a "success"... It's all a grand waste of TIME. How do you know when you have arrived? What does it mean? Where is the satisfaction...? oh, there is... for a while. But it doesn't stay. Now...

C'est moi, same Aslan, King of nothing, servant of all. Things do happen and at Blackjack you can always expect the unexpected, although more often than not the expected will occur. You do see me, but not with your eyes. I was out of time, but now I am in time, I hope, for sage advice from...

Hey, Mr. Frog Man! I see you're still up to your old tricks! Good to see you again. Still living at the Pond I presume? It's like old home week. Good to see you. Your Fuzzy Thinking Fan, Aslan

Only if you assume a less than full table. Right?

Thanks Ken, Sonny, iCountNTrack! I hope this is not the last time I talk with any of you. No other board will ever take your place. These last few years will always be a special time and place. I've grown so fond of Blackjackinfo and its inhabitants that it's demise brings great sadness. I...

Three people? What three people? How did you arrive at that conclusion?

A good Christian Brother returns good for evil, not insults. There's nothing wrong in sponsoring legit APs to a private club, and there's nothing wrong with being a bit more up front. Why would or should anyone in their right mind trust an anonymous poster on a public website? QFIT and...

Sorry for narrowing the scope of your concerns. What I hear you saying is that you feel strongly about what you perceive to be the truth, and find it obligatory to rebut disinformation. I feel exactly the same way, and well beyond religious faith. Darkness has no power over even the smallest...

I guess cheating is AP. Still, I prefer to call it cheating even if it's granny doing it. LOL I have a friend who refers to cold-decking and dealing seconds as good card playing. I still prefer to call it cTheating at cards. Just saying. These last posts on bjinfo are coming from 40000 feet...

Sounds like a surveillance ploy. Or some kind of scam. If he would shed more light on what he's doing and who he represents maybe people would believe him. His namecalling at Qfit put him on my ignore list.

The truth is, if you believe in something deeply even if you do not like certain types of posts, you will find it compelling to answer attacks on those deeply held beliefs. I am that way about attacks on my religious beliefs, and Qfit is just as zealous for his political views. I feel sorry...
