    Hands From Heaven

    That last shoe was a real stinker that mostly heavily favoured the dealer. For the hell of it, first round in the new shoe (alone now, the others left...) I decide to spread to 3 hands. I get AA, 14, AA V dealer 9, with $60, $80 and $120. I split the aces and get face/face. Yep, she gives me a 7 on my 14. I split the other aces and get face/face again. She gets 19. I have 21 on my 5 hands! Now I can die happy... I have received my HANDS FROM HEAVEN.

    Hey 21Gunsalute, perhaps you could tell me the math odds against my getting 5 hands, beginning with 3, that totalled 21?

    Nice hands, but I'd be more concerned about the way you decided to spread to three hands after getting your ass kicked. Not a very smart thing to do, and the fact you won big can easily lead to a very dangerous habit.

    Yep, only 12 casinos in Oz, with cities like Sydney (pop. 5M, and Melbourne, 4.5M) each with only ONE casino. Vegas has +750 alone. LOL. Nothin we can do about it... Monopoly rules. Oh yeah, we can save up and go to Vegas.

    One other thing sucks as far as I'm concerned. The game of Blackjack has quickly degenerated into a scrum-fest of PERFECT PAIRS. The game itself now takes second place as addicts scramble for positions on the PP box EVERY HAND without fail. This is getting on my nerves. Does anyone care?
