Fellow players, a few days ago while heading to Texas, I stumbled on an injun casino in OK that had the weirdest game I ever saw.

They had 5 tables open. One black and rest red and above. The players were the absolute 'worst' I have ever seen. The games looked liked something someone would open in their garage. Dealers were in street clothes, no name tags, no table rules posted, and no Floorperson to be found. (Later I found out that the FP was actually sitting at a table with other players, explaining rules)

As best as I can tell, since I didn't play, there appeared to be 'normal' rules; BJ 3:2, DAS, etc. One thing that made the game unplayable was that it had a 50 cent ante per hand (didn't matter how much you were playing per hand)

I was watching this game where a single player at a table was playing 3 spots of black and the dealer saw me looking and asked if I wanted to play. I asked about the ante and he told me, but then he said that I didn't have to pay it if I didn't want to. Can you believe that? This guy playing was anteing up $1.50 per round and he tells me it's up to me. That really scared me away and I said "maybe later" and continued watching.

The interesting part of this game was at ALL tables the cut card was placed at about 10-15 cards from the end! No fooling, every table. The cards were so old and "swelled" that I wouldn't trust them all to be there.

To make this story short, I continued watching and the dealer comes to the cut card. He tells the guy, "we can go one more round". So he deals him 3 spots. After that hand he does it again and runs out of cards! No fooling, ran out of cards in a 6 deck shoe! I had seen it before years ago in Vegas with SD, but NEVER with a shoe.

It was at this point I decided I had 'enough' entertainment for one day and left.

Now, before you question my intelligence as to why I didn't Wong in and play a shoe, I felt that if they pegged me as a counter, who knows what they might have done to me. I thought it best to just leave.

Maybe some of you out there has seen this before, but it was a first for me.

Definitely interesting!
