I got to thinking about the last two or three times I have played in a decent DD game. I have just started taking counting seriously over the past 6 months so these games were really just to start getting into the feel and rhythym of the game vs my living room table.
But I noticed that as groups of friends would sit in, something strange happened. On two occasions a couple of tourists/friends would drop by, where it was obvious one was showing the other how to play, explaining the rules etc. Inevitably a run of low cards in the first two rounds would vault the count skyward. Now the one friend would say something along the lines of "See, look at all the low cards, that means you know there are a ton of aces and faces left." Then they would up their bets. (I briefly thought these were minor team plays, but I honestly think they were tourists)
So what about that? Could you and a buddy pull something like that off? Could you playing one on one with a dealer make a comment like "Hey where are all the face cards?" I know it probably seems obvious, sorry to think out loud like this.
