How Do You React After Winning MAX BET Hands?
RE: Counting Comportment
After winning a MAX BET hand at the Blackjack table do you usually keep your composure or do you usually flounder around with open excitement?
first time was a medium bet that i had to split then double , I could barely push my chips to the circle from the shaking , I could feel each heartbeat inside the veins in my neck - then the dealer busted and I felt a surge of adrenaline and a sense of ease ... I didn't make a sound or show too much expression ...still don't, but I'm not robotic either , i still smile or something ... I guess I just be myself
..
How do ploppies act? I act like a pig in sh*t. Though sometimes I act like I finally got almost even after losing all night, which is a bit more subdued.
Last night it was +6TC and I had three bets out, $300, $300, and $250 (the last because I was all in). I received a 6 on my first hand of 10/2, doubled down 7/3 on my second hand and received an ace, doubled down another 7/3 on my third hand and received a ten (my friend loaned me $400 to make my double downs). All my friends gathered around me as the dealer hit a 7 to her 5-up/10 and busted. We all celebrated. It was a $2,900 round, $1,450 profit. Yippee! And it was the announced last shoe of the night at that particular table.
If you can't celebrate that, you must be some emotionless card counter who is used to such turnarounds.
PS-- We all went out and had breakfast after my ploppy friend pulled a four of a kind on a $5 Jacks or better 9/6 machine ($25 a pull). It was a good night for all concerned except one friend whom we never found though we searched and searched (he was drinking and has pulled such shenanigans before, so we left without him). I hope-- I'm pretty sure-- he was all right. But you can only do so much!

Like T3 my reactions are similar to others at the table. Sometimes quiet and reserved, other times fist bumping hands in the air celebration. I try to make friends with the person next to me and celebrate their wins and get them to help celebrate mine. The degree of celebration depends on the table.
3 hands, ehh? My locals may chop my fingers off if I attempted a similar move .Originally Posted by Aslan

I maintain a stoical demeanor whether I win or lose. This is possibly a detriment, as I should show more ploppy type emotion; but it comes naturally to me. I try to just disappear. I don't talk to other players unless they speak first. Then I am polite, but try to keep the conversation brief.
