Cajun,

You (actually) said:

"I decided to play the slots I went to my favorite machine ... it was heaven."

This just gets (comically) better all of the time. R O T F L M A O

I thought that was pretty funny too but there are opportunities at the machines so i didn't worry about it.

Playing your hand "wrong"with a modest bet generally
has an e.v. change of minus a few cents (¢'s), not dollars.
So very often, what you do means next to nothing.
I have seen many Card Counters that I have trained
getting upset (while winning $500) because they made
a (supposed) error that cost them the royal sum of 21¢ !

Perfection, though unattainable is still a worthy goal perhaps.
Todays definition: Edicate is when you're not edumacated enough to spell etiquette!

But Edicate and etiquette are the same thing. At least you know what he means.

Bigdaddy,

Good post. Good camouflage. But …

the Dealer and Pit Critter have little/no input into

how the Pit Boss, and especially, the EITS views

your action. They see your correct play of 12 v. 5

Yes - agree - I realize that if my 12 v. 5 play is reviewed at the right level and in connection with a review of the count, that would not be good.

Funny thing is that this table does not appear to be very closely monitored by EITS. Why would I say that? I've run across a couple of dealers that repeatedly do not properly expose the player's cards on the table after the hand. They just flip them over (stacked one on top of the other) and scoop them up such that it's sometimes impossible to see both cards. Yes, I have to drop the count at that point, but guess who else has to drop the count? Apparently, there have been no corrective orders issued to these sloppy dealers from EITS, because they continue to do a sloppy card scoop time after time - week after week. This 2-deck game has lousy rules (D9,10,11 only and NDAS), but 80-85% pen and a pit crew that could care less when $100s are in play. I'll take it for now - probably won't last much longer...

Why do you have to drop the count? You just add those unseen cards to the unseen cards in the shoe. Adjust your deck estimations accordingly as the number of unseen dealt cards grow. It is basically reduced pen.

Ahhh....yes - good thought - thanks

I know a guy who Et-a-cat, got arrested for it too. But then, he hears voices in his head, so what can you expect?
