How do you do it?

[BoSox]

"1.) sit at a table and cop an attitude when they make bad plays (obviously an act)."

I disagree,the above line, not only could possibly lead to drawing unwanted attention to the table, and yourself, but can also lead to a sudden unwanted confrontation, which could also happen anyway. Just ignore the other player and accept the player will help or hurt you 50% of the time.

"2.) play only heads up"

I would prefer one other person at the table so I can sit out some neg count hands, and let the other person eat up some cards.

"3.) hype the dealer up(if they know BS) and make it a point to have the dealer tell the idiot(s) every time the other players are making BS mistakes (tip $1-$2 bucks and throw a comment out there like "Paul is a good dealer, he'll help you out next time")."

I disagree, Ignore, and stay out of it. Toking the dealer every time for giving advice to a ploppy every time the idiot makes a mistake is crazy. Not to mention you are giving up huge chunks of your + EV with those tips.

"4.) suck it up and watch them lose their $, as you are sitting at the table playing only neutral or +TCs."

Excellent advice.

I pretty much agree with everything Bosox said. Great post Bo.

1.) I didn't say sit there and pout like a baby? wtf? Maybe not in your neck of the woods, but where I'm from people come with a natural attitude my friend.. The blend in game works well - go with what you know.

2.) A.) I was trying to resolve his problem with getting upset at people making 'bad plays' which result in him losing money. Simple solution.. Play heads up.
B.)what is your min. bet?
3.) Are you serious right now? Who in their right mind would tip EVERY TIME, better yet where did I say to tip EVERY TIME? Maybe I forgot a comma or something, but what it should read is 'If the dealer you are playing with knows BS, and there are ppl making obvious BS errors, tip the dealer once or twice and make it a point to have the dealer help them [IF] people losing their $$ really bothers the OP, as it sounds it does.

4.) kewl

"1.) I didn't say sit there and pout like a baby? wtf?"

I didn't think that at all when you said ""1.) sit at a table and cop an attitude when they make bad plays (obviously an act)."

" Maybe not in your neck of the woods, but where I'm from people come with a natural attitude my friend.. The blend in game works well - go with what you know."

Go right ahead and smash a beer bottle on the floor, or eat a raw red onion and blend right in.

"2.) A.) I was trying to resolve his problem with getting upset at people making 'bad plays' which result in him losing money. Simple solution.. Play heads up."

You could have told him the truth that it was selective memory playing tricks with his mind.

"B.)what is your min. bet?"

Depends on what neck of the woods I am playing.

"Are you serious right now? Who in their right mind would tip EVERY TIME, better yet where did I say to tip EVERY TIME?"

Sorry it was a misinterpretation on my part.

For the record my neck of the woods might be more dangerous than yours. Try playing with some idiot at a table who I will strongly guess is a gang member involved with some or other illegal activities, looking to blame anyone for his stupidity. I see it all the time people with more money than brains, they often have real attitudes.

Hey, didn't Miss Interpretation place second in last year's Miss America pageant?

[Bodarc]

Frank I believe you have it mixed up. I think it was Miss Representation.

Thanks again Frank. I corrected it, thanks to you at least I learned what the %
sign means after decimal points.

LOL we don't have many gang members, but there are a lot of rough necks in my home stores.. If you know what I mean. I had a guy deliberately blowing cig smoke in my face about 3 months ago, I very kindly leaned over to him and said you got one more time to purposely blow smoke in my face and then I'm gonna pop my trunk. He must of thought I was the real deal, he colored up and darted to the cage. I laughed about that for weeks.

2.) A. +1 you got me there .
B. I can relate to that. One store manager told a guy I know that when I return he is going to back me off, I haven't stepped foot back in the store, but I still manage to get $$ off of them .

All and all, I've learned it's best to keep "*friends and business completely separated."

Good cards Bosox

Like the 1966 Rare Breed version Come on Down to My Boat. I see almost everyday what often gets national recognition in the blackjack circles. Yesterday, I witnessed the obnoxious little butthead that was bothering everyone around him. I've "seen" him before. I watched a little bball and played a little blackjack then walked through again and tensions were growing. Repeat. This time the pit boss is holding the guys hands in the TD signal position to keep from getting struck. Here comes security. The guys hollering "what did I do?" Finally, one says, "you didn't leave when we ask you to leave." During his "escort" he decided laying down in the middle of the isle to be his best move. Four guys - one on each limb are carrying him away and he's screaming "I didn't do a damn thing."

Partially out of curiousity and mostly out of boredom I followed along behind about 50 yards. "Oh God no, were his words as he screamed, when he saw them carrying him into a room titled Security. Not sure what happened after that but I didn't hear him screamin anymore. Just another day in the life.

Well now that everyone knows that I violated my 86'd status and got back roomed yesterday... I always act like this when I drink those damn Sazeracs. LOL
