Mini Trip Report -- Agua Caliente Casino

About a week ago I played for a few hours at Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, CA. I noted the following conditions:

$5 min, 6 deck, CSM.
$10 min, 6 deck shoe, dealt down to one deck remaining.
$25 min, 2 deck, pitch game, 60%-65% pen.
All games were 3/2 payout on a 21.

I played the 6 deck $10 game using KO. Won $200 -- I was very lucky due a small bankroll and small spread.

The ploppy factor was insane. I saw a guy hit hard 17 against a dealer 10 two different times -- he busted both times. Another guy stood on a soft 17 v. a dealer 6. A lady next to me split 2's against a dealer 10 and then busted both hands with 10's when she had to hit 12's. I could go on and on...

I am curious what the board thinks of this place. Does the 2 deck ever get down to $10? I was there on a Sat. afternoon. Thanks.

I Hit Hard 17 Against Dealer 10 Too!

Of course I only do this when I see the dealers hole card. It happened a few weeks ago and I drew a 3 and pushed the dealers 20. The dealer realized I saw his hole card and didn't say a word, he picked up the cards rather quickly.
