Went to the local store today for a couple hours of play and went down 30 units. Had a couple of amazing shoes, but overall, couldn't catch a break - even the guy sitting next to me was disgusted at how "lucky" the dealer was.
The dealer was nice enough but commented on me standing on a three card 16 against her 10 up card and when she busted said "I wouldn't have played that that way but you pulled it off" (TC of 4 at the time).
The other comment she made was when RC was 15 and TC was 5 and I split nines against her six. She got lucky on that one and ended up with a soft 20, cleaning everyone out at the table. Adding insult to injury, she said "that's almost as bad as splitting a pair of tens, you just don't do that". Apparently, she doesn't know basic strategy...
