    I definitely ignored the dealer advice when he said "Never take surrender...it's just a rule for the casino's advantage..." That was enlightening...

    Not yet, KJ. Not everyone has learned that BJ isn't a team sport.

    "One of these days in your travels, you are going to come across a guy with a nice brand new deck of cards, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not take this bet, for if you do, as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an ear full of cider."

    I played with some Koreans who kept shouting "Monkey!" Now I do it to sometimes. I looked up what it means and found this:



    However, the real answer believe it or not is derived from the Chinese culture. In Europe the Kings and Queens were part of the royal court or court of the monarch. When playing baccarat players would yell for the "monarch card" or "monarchy card." To an Asian player who speaks Mandarin or Cantonese, saying the English word "monarchy" fast with a heavy Chinese accent is conveniently the sound of "Monkey." As the late Paul Harvey would say, "So now you know... the rest of the story"
