    In that old thread on the other site in post # 30 you wrote:

    "I have seen more than 100 APs at this table. If you have read my stories, you would know only two of them play rated as II know. How could they know which one of 98 is me?"

    One hundred counters all participating in a good game, and someone comes along with the thought process of what they think is fair, I can think of a lot of adjectives for this behavior, but I will leave it at self centered.

    Since the game is burned, I'm just curious. Is this the game where they were inadvertently offering ES? I'd heard about the game but it's long before I started playing seriously.

    When it began, the casino personnel has no idea the difference between ES and LS, they just knew the newly opened PA casinos offer surrender so they want to offer surrender, too. So in the first week or first 10 days, they let players surrender without dealer checking dealer BJ first. This mistake was corrected after 7 or 10 days. Then in the next few years, this game has late surrender. Then they cut LS after a few months. They they cut S17 after a few months or weeks. Then they stopped offering DD after a few months or weeks. For most of its lifespan, it is LS and S17. When the rules got worse, it is never because too many AP came to the casino but the new owner has a different business model. The old owner put only one table at the entrance and advertised they offer the only DD game in east coast. But they cleverly made it is $5 table with max bet $300. And when AP came, he or she may not get a seat because ploppies want to play it, too. Many ploppies will settle with playing shoe game though. It is a brilliant business idea from the old owner. But some AP like T3 blamed me when they couldn't get a seat. I wish I had that power. It is just carefully designed by the casino. I had very little contribution for the busy casino.
