Mr. Obvious

[21gunsalute]

I recently had the "pleasure" of playing at a table with Mr. Obvious. He was playing 2 hands using a 1-20 spread, with 20 representing the table max. At low and negative counts he'd bet 2X1 unit. At about +1 he'd bet 2X 5-10 units and his max bet of 2X20 units would come out around +2 to +3. He'd frequently wong out at negative counts but remain at the table "waiting for the cards to get better". The only "cover" he employed was sometimes dropping to one hand at extremely high counts at table max (don't quite understand that one). But any cover he could have employed would certainly have been more than offset by the fact that he twice demanded that the dealers not announce the hand totals out loud because he can add up the hands for himself and they were upsetting his concentration. Fortunately for him this particular casino seems to be very tolerant.

How's that? I thought they can back you off anywhere.

Not important unless that was you, and then you'd know where it happened.

But that's ok! :laugh:

Hmm... might have been me. Although, I don't remember dropping that specific line...

They're not suppose to but they have, no point in playing at the "back off" juncture anyway. Myself and another AP have been backed off in 2 different places in AC. I figure if theyre already onto me, why let them mess with the game and EV just leave and go next door.
