    If I was PB I would've been tipped off by the other player just sitting there. "Is that a lot?" Give me a break, biggest BS statement I've ever heard.......

    Ive never been backed off, but that had to be one of the most pleasant back-offs Ive heard of. And it does a good job of highlighting the biggest counter tip-off...the spread!

    I've been biting my tongue but can't any more. That video is absurd. Starting with the play and all the way up to the ridiculous conversation, the only thing helpful from this video is what NOT to do. It's so obvious that the entire situation was a setup to tape the back off, but if that's the case why not use it as an opportunity to show how you should actually handle the situation should it arise? This was pure fluff. I'd rather watch 21.

    why is the PB so nervous? LOL. I've never chatted more than 2seconds, before they even finish whatever generic backoff statement they have I'm already out the door.

    Hmmm, staged or not staged ? A set-up, yes, in that he is trying to attract attention for the BO. Which he accomplished.
    I've never been denied play, but the discussion away from the table did seem a little drawn out.
    If you're being barred, I would imagine a short and not so sweet statement of that fact.... now get the F outta here.
    Or, if they want to be nice, you can play any other game EXCEPT blackjack, end of discussion.
