    This is fun to watch! Cat said: in 1970s when she was on Ken Uston’s blackjack team, Uston thought she was attractive enough to be his bimbo and just sitting there with him was worth a lot of money to him.

    Another thing confusing. How come she played a lot blackjack in east European countries when she was an American woman?

    Also, it seems that several recent Blackjack HOFs were not winners in blackjack but winners in poker. They actually failed in blackjack and then switched into poker and succeeded easily. Cat was one of them. At one point she even said that the blackjack field were hardworking people but often with less money. This part is annoying.

    Why not? Some Eastern European countries do not allow barring.
