    2 A A A A 6 A A A A A

    The above 11 card sequence is more impressive.

    I'm generally a trusting guy. I do tend to become a touch suspicious when I see nine aces in SD. But, I could have miscounted.

    Personally, I prefer playing SD games with nine aces.

    Ahh, I'm preparing my new ad campaign. SD with nine aces and 3:1 blackjack. There may not be enough room on the sign to mention I've removed all ten value cards.

    Who cares if you remove all the ten value cards, if you're paying blackjack 3:1 that's a great game!

    You guys sound like you been playing with Romes and his second dealing brother, where at school years 5 card stud play, the lowest hand dealt was 4 of a kind. And Munchkin and Dancer joked during the GWAE podcast, that they never had heard about folding a 4 of a kind hand being the "best play".

Don't take it personal, some APs are super paranoid lol
    I avoid it because you never know who could overhear, where the microphones are, who the agents are, and who are the bad APs who don't know to not talk about AP in a casino. I don't really know how to safely make first contact with APs in a casino. I very frequently see guys in casinos whom I suspected of being APs but I don't talk to them. I might get some "financial advisor" fake business cards printed up to give out on those occasions right before I leave.

    Another thing to consider: You have no idea what level of heat they are getting. If you start chatting with someone who is under close scrutiny or well known to the casino, that could poision your reputation as well. Casinos are generally not a safe place to make contact with other APs, especially after a play has gone down.
