    Zenfighter: Vegas chauvinism

    First lesson:

    Casinos in Las Vegas are not suspecting foreign players to be counters.

    I?m learning through my own experience, that playing in the States as a counter, is a short of squizo-situation between hell and heaven. If you?re a white American male, frankly, you?d use as much cover/acts as possible. I wish you luck. But on the opposite, if you do not ?understand/speak? English (the less, the better), you have found your Shangri-La, here. I?m not saying, a foreigner can expect to get rich here (too much game-protection, anyway). Essentially, I?m not speaking about $$ values. It?s just this inner feeling of playing without hassles/heat/dirty looks, so common in Europe, where no nationality, whatsoever, will prevent you to be half-shoed if they have arrived at the conclusion that you?re not exactly another ?tourist?.

    Viva Las Vegas and its macho-men/foreigners chauvinism!

    A paradise for women and non USA players.

    Best regards

    Yes, I've been saying this for years and years. Foreigners -- especially Asians -- can pretty much do anything they want. And, if you're a woman, that goes double. Long ago, I taught an Asian man to count cards, and the first thing he did was to recruit an entire team of women to play all around the world with him. They won huge sums of money.

    What a great camo idea for any American who can speak another language.

    Or better yet, give classes in how to speak broken english (bet no one ever figured that as camo).

    It's silly, but makes sense.

    It's an interesting point Don made regarding asian players.

    I can truly say, I have never played with a more superstious group.

    One day at the table a guy next to me ordered a club soda and each time he doubled, he would sip the soda upside down from the opasite side of the glass (the part that touches your nose).
    It was not until the 3rd time he did it that I realized he was doing it on doubles only.

    The kicker was this, when he had a larger bet up he would also make the lady person with him do it.

    The scary part?
    He was hitting all the doubles .
