Unlikely card frequency in Reno?

Probably just your imagination. Even if true. Your sample size is way to small to draw conclusions.

There was a guy i knew who wrote a book (haven't seen him in several years). He actually caught a store where different value cards, dealt from a shoe, had a different feel so that the dealer could bypass them. Examp,e would be a double down with normal card being a 10, that dealer could bypass. It was, as I recall 10 value cards, and I think it was in the Caribbean.

i was in Laughlin last year as part of a Phoenix area vacation. I was playing double deck against a dealer with a very odd hand motion. Was he cheating? Haven't got a clue, and I wasn't going to stick around to find out.

Bottom line, you probably just had adverse distribution, but do pay attention to your gut feelings and leave when you are feeling uneasy.

Yes, I agree that the sample size was too small to draw conclusions but the first day, with a larger sample size, gave me a feeling that something was funny. Even if they only had 4/5 under the 6 30-40% of the time (which I'm sure they did), that would be well out of the norm. I was just throwing it out there to see if anyone had a larger sample size with more definitive data. I may just go watch the table next time I'm down and actually count the occurrences of this situation.
