    You know the only thing that spooks me to this day on all my years of playing BJ ....

    - that is aside from positive dealer variance -is when the dealer starts pulling off these 5 or 6 card 20s/21s. It's almost like "the TC is +3 but I might as well leave now." lol. Not that I would leave at TC3. But man, it's seems like it's the beginning of the end.

    (Don't jump on me. I was just thinking it.)

    Big Jer,

    It is just the ebb and flow of the cards, that is a normal fluctuation. you should leave the table quicly as you experience this anomally, it is a pre-cursor to a huge loss.

    HA! It sure as heck seems like it.

    BTW, though it's hard to trust the Math when it happens. But I do follow it anyways. I had three years of Math and Physics in college. So mathematical stuff is my bailiwick. But I still wish you didn't have to hit on a 12 against certain cards. But I do it anyways.

    Sorry to hear this, BJ. If it makes you feel any better, know that while you're in bad variance territory, there's someone else hitting the good side of variance and taking much more from the empire than you're losing to it.

    If you hit all your hands until you had 17, you'd end up pulling these just as often.

    Good point, Shad. Perhaps I will have to try that! I always feel better when I get more 21's in a session, regardless of win/loss. haha

    The same thing was happening yesterday. The count went up and the dealer was getting multi-card 20s and 21s. Yes I did put the bets out when I had to. Then I finally got a BJ ................... and pushed with the dealer. *face palm*

    Sorry, I have to
    Think about it, but don't post about it. It's not good for your credibility or respectability as an AP.
