Not a fantastic swing if

WOW, that is quite a swing in TC in one hand.

Say the game is single deck and the 14 is a 7,7.

I don't think the TC had anything to do with his decisions.

I had the EXACT same thing happen to me once. I jumped into a game, count went hot, and I had two table max bets out (table max wasn't that high) and all of a sudden a suit comes over. I got invited to hang out in the high roller room, got upgraded card status on the spot, and absolutely killed the game for a few hours.

Hitting hard 17 is for the most part a rookie move.
Oftentimes these weak games have a habit of turning into good or even great games if you just leave them alone. Sometimes it takes weeks, and sometimes years. I once had a hopper dealer in a major strip casino who was completely dormant for three years. When she opened it up she was a 100% game for the next five, until a team from Chicago discovered her & burned her out completely, by hitting 17 & by surrendering hands of 17, 18, & even 19; with $1000 + bets on the table. Talk about killing the goose that laid the golden egg!

It's entirely possible that you just killed a future superstar. Not to mention the risk you took, of being identified as someone who knew something.

There is a 0% chance of seeing the hole card, and maybe a .001% chance of seeing it in the future. Unless the dealer starts lifting it outta nowhere in a SHOE game.

This game would actually be an A++++ count game, but I rarely count.

If it wasn't for the fact that I don't want to get kicked out of the casino (since I play other games there), I'd hit hard 18 and 19 too. Even hitting hard 17 I'm barely getting a 1% edge. I don't really feel too bad about burning out such a shitty game.

What the hell? Were you hole-carding a dealer wins ties charity game?

No lol, I was getting some information about the hole card without seeing it.

That's all I'm going to say.

That team shouldn't have killed the game so obviously. Sure, they might have taken a quick profit but that dealer's career must have been ruined. I doubt she will ever work in a casino again.
