Has anybody had a "preferential shuffle" on a shoe game???
By definition, "preferential shuffling" applies to SD and DD games where the dealer seeing lots of small cards and few Aces dealt will shuffle the cards, irrespective of depth.
Half-shoe'ing in a shoe game is where a player is given the message that his 'action' is not wanted by destroying his winning potential.
This is prevalent in New Jersey, Missouri, and other states where the casino is forbidden from actually barring a player because he is capable of thinking.
Is it just SD and DD and the dealer deciding? I know it happens on SD and DD when a player raises their bet, but can’t pit critters also order the dealers to do it? I went to a shop and was wonging a DD that they allowed your to do. When I sat down to make my max wager and count got good, the pit boss told the dealer to shuffle. I thought it’s a shufffle anytime, on any number of decks when the count gets high and you raise your bet they shuffle to send you a message to leave.
This is what happened to me at Resorts in AC back in 2010 when they had those few $25 S17 tables of 6D. They would shuffle everytime I raised my bet. I was down about $3,000 so I stayed just to mess with them and making them shuffle with a ploppy at my table. The shift manager even came over to the ploppy and explained to her she was sorry but they had to keep shuffling on me and gave her some BS answer. Then she shouted back “it’s six decks! Nobody can count six decks! What’s the problem?” So then I jumped on that wagon and asked them the same question and what they were worried about? This was before my full time career days. It was funny )
