4 Year Zen: Conversation in Downtown L.V.

[4 Year Zen]

The following conversation took place last night (6/16/02) in a downtown L.V. casino and is VERY close to exact quotes:

Player: Excuse me, (to pit mgr.) Is single deck that much better than shoes?
Pit: Oh, yeah.
Player: Should I hit my 16's when the dealer has a 7 and up showing?
Pit: Not always, you should play exactly like the dealer plays. Do what she does.
Pit: Are you counting the cards?
Player: No, but I try to keep track when I see a lot of big ones come out.
Pit: You should really buy a book on counting cards. It'll help you, and you can make some money when you come in here.
Player: Is there "A" book?
Pit: There's a lot of 'em, but you should get one by Stanford Woo (!!!)

Nice to know the pit cares
