I remembered a dealer who paid me on a push. The problem is she never did it again!
I have become a bit of an expert on seeking out dealer mistakes if I do say so.
All I can say is, try to remember the circumstances under which the mistakes were made, and do what you can to duplicate them later on.
Often, but not always, the key is chattiness. Get them to start talking more than you'd ever want to listen to, keep the conversation going.
If you lose some of your ability to count, BFD. One dealer mistake in your favor will more than make up for any lost EV if you lose accuracy in counting due to chatting. This can be a ticket to less heat from the pit critters, too! Though being a female surely helps with that too, at least with older male critters.
And whatever you do koseao, from now on keep BJ a secret from that unsupportive BF of yours. Even people who I know support my casino play, I don't like to have them with me. There is so much more pressure. You don't want to raise your bets as much as you should because you don't want it to blow up in your face while you have someone watching, to have them think you have a gambling problem. If they really truly get the nuts and bolts of blackjack, they can help your game in several ways. Shame your BF will never be this! Unless you found another boy in KS who will actually support your endeavors.
