Hollywood: Totally unreal

[Hollywood]

I'm playing this weekend and I can't remember ever getting a count this high in my life.

It was as though every small card in the 6 decks was practically used up.

Playing KO the count was plus 24. I would actually have to go back in my memory to remember ever seeing this.

So the dealer has a 9 showing and I get my first ACE. I'm so positive i'm getting a blackjack that I had the money spent already. Don't forget my max bet is on the table.

Instread, I get another ace. I'm not disappointed, this is even better, i'm gonna get 2 blackjacks against this dealer 9 which I know can't posibly be anything other then 19.

I mean for goodness sake, the count is on pluto.

The guy gives me a 4 and a 5. I can't even imagine where he got them from.

So I figure i'm dead against his 19.

Of course that death would be to quick and they don't like us dieing without suffering.

So this guy turns over a 6 in the hole. I can't belive what a break I caught. The count is even better then it was when the hand started.

Can you believe he finds a 4. I sat there staring at that 19 for about 30 seconds.

All I could think about is, "WHERE DO THEY GET THOSE LOW CARDS AT THOSE INCREDIBLE COUNTS"

I turned it into a winning session, but I think it was a hand I will never forget. Only because of the rediculous count.

Boy this is some life we have chosen lol

Scenarios such as this one are surely the most aggravating part of the game.

By the way, reread BJA3, p. 9. :-)

I have an idea DS.

The next time I go to a casino, i'm going to bring a copy of BJA with me. I'm just gonna cover it (like when we were in school) and keep it next to me.

As soon as that kind of shit happens, i'm gonna open it up and start reading it right there on the spot.

You think there is a shot that they will toss me?



I will never cease to be amazed at how they find those little cards (in succession none the less) when there are almost none left lol.

But, here is the kicker. Because it was the end of the shoe and I had out such a big bet, I didn't want to start the next shoe with less then 3 units which represented 25% of my bet at the end of that shoe.

I figured if I lose a hand I can go back to one unit and nobody will be suspicious.

Well, as SD would have it.

The count is big time against me the other way.

I win the next 11 hands in a row with doubles and splits in the middle of all that. I ended up making over 5 thousand with the count against me

I was only playing the 3 units as camo .

Can't figure this one out. I get a monster count in my favor and get f***ked. I get a count in the house favor and kick ass.

You gotta love it

See BJA3, p. 104, third full paragraph, point #3.

You did it in spades! :-)

BJA III, hmm.

Does anybody in here know who wrote that book?

It really rings a bell
