    or Margaritaville (Bossier side) which has S17 & H17 (party pit) but also has LS.
    Horseshoe never offers $5 tables anymore, Eldorado is all H17, Diamond Jack does have shoe dealt DD, S17, but $10 & $25. And their 6D is H17.
    Boomtown is all H17 except hi-limit which is S17.

    So I'm a little confused. Will say I would like clarification on the bet size when it all went down.
    diamondjacks. their 6 deck shoe was $5, stand on soft 17. go look tomorrow if u dont believe me. it was once $10, but it was empty when i sat and i convinced the floor to make it $5. i figured they might since 2 nights earlier it was $5

    You asked the floor to drop the minimum but bet up to 2 x $450?

    You might want to avoid exposing yourself as an amateur card counter.

    Just a fleeting thought. {    sarcasm}

    You are only forced to bet in a tournament. Otherwise, you are not forced to bet.

    I would agree that asking to lower the minimum from $10 to $5 and then betting 2x450 is a dead giveaway.

    NOTE:

    Ordinarily we relegate "martingale" posts to our "VOODOO" section.

    At a Hi-Lo True Count of +2 your chances of winning your upcoming

    hand is 43% with pushes at 12% and losses at 45%

    Betting a progression is not only suicidal, but BJ is

    never an option for such self-deceptive tomfoolery.

    Hey, if I recall correctly, if a literary work was published more than 100 years ago, it falls within the public domain, nearly (if not 100%) free from copyright protection.

    ZMF,

    My prior post was intended solely for preemptively resolving any copyright questions that might have surfaced. Best I know, there are no prohibitions on posting nor sharing work that is legally deemed to be within the public domain.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
