I was playing a very fine 6d over the weekend, one that many of you will be playing,,,,,I got the chance to go heads-up and took it, the count went up and down early, getting respectable at the end of that shoe,+7.
The shuffle is a nice one and I cut that slug to the front area. The count went up into the 2nd deck and stayed high, actually climbing, a guy that I have seen play before wanted to jump in and I asked him to stay out till the next, he did but acted insulted, dumb F^^k. With 1 and 1/4deck left I was +21tc,:grin:, now I opened up with the Fangs and Claws and went to all out battle, it was a back and forth contest going to table max on 2 spots, I was see- sawing with the dealer, but won 4 straight at table max, I was for sure drawing attention and putting on alot of my act. I was also, because of the huge situation, using some ultimate indice plays, the drama was on, the adrenalin was flowing and I was the addicted out of control gambler. What hurt was two insurance calls which the dealer did not have, ****!!!! and I lost both spots. The pit phone was ringing and there was much discussion. I ended up a few hundred, but that shoe could have turned me a large profit. I was able to control the cut for 3 more shoes and had counts as high as +17 but I was not headsup with 3 other players at the table now.
One great thing was that the count always came down by the time the s-card surfaced...how could it not, there was 12 cards left!
BTW, the player who wanted to jump in got an attitude about it when he did get in but he and his wife lost all and quit while I was still having at it. I could tell he blamed me for it because of my exceptional play, which he viewed in bad light, like jumping to 2 spots and back, etc....so next time I see the pri** I will be sure to sit at his table and do it all over again.:laugh:
