Couldn’t believe I heard what I heard a dealer say last night.
Situation:
Me: A-2
Dealer: 2
I hit.
The other players at the table were saying I should have doubled. I thought it’s a straight hit, so I hit. The dealer said it was the wrong move to make.
I thought it’s a hit but when a dealer is so adamant about my “mistake” it shook me for a few moments. So, during the shuffle I consulted my trusty chart aaaaaand, gawldarnie I was right!
I now pick up the conversation with the dealer and it went something like this:
Me: “you know the Book says A-2 versus a 2 is a hit not a double.”
Dealer: “The Book is only useful when playing head’s up.”
Me: “Wha? Wha? What?”
Dealer: “Yep. That chart is only useful when you’re playing one-on-one with the dealer. It’s useless when there are other people at the table playing.”
Me: “Well, we’ll just have to agree to disagree.”
He didn’t say anything after that.
And neither did I.
WTF?
