So I walked up to a table and was playing a game and there were two older gentlemen at the table. Within the first 5 minutes, the guy closest to me gave me a wink when I raised my bet. A few hands later when i lowered my bet he said, "thats right, time to take it down". Now I don't know if he was counting or just knew what counting looked like cause he was not really spreading his bet. He at one point did spread up to 3 times in a high count but he wasn't betting more each time the count was high. I don't know if he was just trying to earn comps and some food while having a drink or what.
The other guy at the table, who was completely clueless as how to play, kept betting the pair square bet and each time i would get a pair he would moan about how i should be betting it. The older man who seemed to know what was going on said, "leave the man alone, i can guarantee you he will never take that bet". And muttered to me that the guy to his right was a jerkoff. After about 45 minutes I had won a good chunk of money and I noticed the pit get on the phone off to my right. I was counting my chips before i was going to color up and the guy said, "its probably time you got out of here" which i was just about to do.
As i left the table he said, tell my friend Al Rogers I said hello. I wouldn't of posted Al Rogers name for fear of outting someone but I looked him up and apparently he is already well known so no big deal. It was a peculiar incident and not sure who the guy was whether a counter or just a very astute player but I found it interesting. Of course i had no idea who Al Rogers was but he seemed to think I may of took lessons from him or something. To any extent, if Al happens to read these boards a friend says hello, didn't catch the mans name though.
