    Yes, but sometimes it’s a kick when he gets backed off, you don’t. You are playing a DD game with a 1-5 spread and this guy joins in, starts of $25, next bet at slightly positive is $100 (he lost), it’s TC2 and he puts $300 and wins. I see the pit guy get on the phone, he lasts one shoe and then he is asked to step away, soon he is escorted out. Chuckle, chuckle.

    Assuming the pit approves of your play by way of prior public announcement, simply revert to basic, with low low spread while your new table mate is evaluated.

    If I was the decision maker on who could or could not play, the most important factor, known or not known to me, would be the strength of your bankroll - could you withstand a bout of negative variance. Having said that, stores don’t really like shot takers, which may have described your new found friend.

    I’m attaching Zee’s post that has caused all this controversy so people can read it again. It’s not complicated. Zee made a simple, good point on what happened to him and another AP playing at the same table. The other AP got kicked out after one shoe and Zee didn’t. Obviously, we don’t know all the details, but the fact that this Bozo AP started out spreading 1-12 on the very first shoe when the pit is probably still watching wasn’t a good move.

    I thought I’d bring this discussion back to the topic at hand since Freightman has gone off the deepend, like he’s prone to do. And we have hidden member who is making some irrelevant comment, and, of course, we have Bosox defending Freightman no matter what he says since we all know Freightman is Bosox’s hero.
