Anybody see a dealer play thru all cards...

and have to re-shuffle?

Saw it on Double-Deck a decade ago. Haven't seen anything close since.

Who plays DD anymore? Unless you are looking for early burnout?

A decade ago in Laughlin at the Riverside on single deck. Not a single complaint was heard about penetration!

In Reno the Comstock did all the time and Mapes regularly did. Comstock did not deal the last card. But that was more than decade ago.

DD has some of the best opportunities. I thought you knew that. You have to think beyond and open your mind grasshopper.

Actually, some of the WORST games I see are single-deck. This is b/c the pit knows the House edge is slim on SD. So, the rules/penetration you get on SD are often terrible and borderline unplayable.

At the other end of the spectrum, 6Dk is normally viewed by the house as a recreational/tourist game. Thought to be unbeatable. You often hear the phrase "No one can count down 6 decks." This translates to more liberal rules and more opportunities, imho. I love me a good 5D or 6D game, especially if it's S17.

It's different if you have no problem with traveling, perhaps. Mostly you only encounter a 50% cut and restrictive doubling. Conditions that are shabby at best.
I stick to my pet game that is 5 decks, LS,RD and 87% penetration.

At one point, the dealer was down to his last card, and the player to my right was mulling over hitting a 15. Since the count was -1, I guaranteed her the last card was 6 or less.

Since after the last card came, the discard pile was shuffled and play continued from there, one had to quickly count the cards on the table to get the correct running count. I soon learned that all one had to do was to negate the running count before the beginning of the last round.

...when that was the norm.

Later that year, dealers were instructed to never run out of cards else be fired; so they would check to make sure they had enough cards to deal the last round.

It was in '76 when most places on the strip went over to 4D because of those waskally counters.

It was a few years after that before the "house" realized the importance of "pen."

... in rural Mississippi.

But that was nearly two years ago, at a low limit game.

RD is not a standard term in describing BJ rules.

It does not appear on page 31 of CBJN either.

Do you really think that I am going to comb through the entirety looking for some weird game played with 5 decks ?

Be a gentleman and answer the question.

Sorry to be rude, but in the same sentence you are claiming to be a "professional" and also saying that it is too much effort to look through 25 pages to identify a game that you have shown interest in.

Hopefully you can see the irony in your last post.

If you coughed up a few bucks to be a Green Chip member,
you'd know that I am a respected professional player.

My not wanting to waste my time is an indication that I have better
things to do with my time than pursue what amounts to more than trivia.

If it was worth knowing, I'd know it already.

that's how I got born.
