Hello all -
Candy Shop - The First Council Casino, on the Kansas/Oklahoma border outside of Newkirk OK is ripe. No ante, no heat and they don't even pay attention to BJ players. The limit isn't great, $5-$500 - six-deck shows with an auto shuffler. Hit soft 17, double on any 2 cards and DAS.
Go get 'em, they're really stupid people there.
about 5 decks or so. My theory on them as been tips will make the dealer forget to shuffle till later.
I've found that tipping the dealer makes for less shouts of "Checks Play" or at least it's not yelled as loud as is usual.
I've never given dealers any reason to shout that most unwelcomed alert, so I don't have to worry about it.
bad rules and good but not great penetration.
with those rules, if pen is 4.5 out of 6.0 as I observed a year or so ago, it is not worth playing. If pen is 5.0 out of 6.0, that is decent but far from a candy shop.
6d, h17, das + 2 for one bj, no ante- that is a candy store.
Really?!
Provided that you truly are a Prior darksider, you'll know what that means, yes?
I doubt very much that I would take the bait you're casting out, pal.
1) Deeper penetration. Maybe hint that you get tired of the shuffles that slow down the game.
2) "Black action" or "Checks play" kept to a minimum. If you have to do it once, so be it but not repeatedly. Tell them you have a hearing aid that doesn't take to shouting.
3) Pace of action. Has to be at least average. Can't earn if pace is dragging.
4) Chit-chat kept to a minimum. Be friendly, chit-chat at end of the shoe. But otherwise, it's work-time.
Your list totally makes sense~
Hey it don't have to look right to you. I'm just putting it out there, a quick buck or two on the way through with no heat. No sweat off my nose either way.
Why do you say that?
.....Something Just Doesn't Look Right.

Maybe it's just my suspicious nature, but that's a little more info than most people post on a public forum. I could easily be wrong, but I have a profound distrust for anyone who works (or has worked) for the other side.
Give it a try if you want to.... but you won't see me there, sorry.
I didn't know that he had worked for the other side.
I played a session at Circus Circus Reno a long time ago. $25 minimum table. The dealer yelled "Green action" EVERY HAND.
It was actually kind of comical.
I didn't know that he had worked for the other side.
....You mean that you couldn't figure it out by looking at his handle?
Hey, he may be totally okay, but I just have a profound distrust of posts from anyone who uses a handle like that. I have been wrong before, and if I'm wrong this time, I offer my apologies. Call me paranoid, it's perfectly okay with me, but better safe than sorry.
I just have a problem with someone who posts "Candy Shop" on a public forum, that's all. I keep smelling something, and there is something in the aroma that I don't like. YMMV.
Sorry, I haven't heard that terminology before. I may be naive on this, but do you have to be so supercilious? Who are you, anyway? I haven't seen any posts by you until recently. Do you play blackjack? Where are you from? Where do you play? At what level? What do you know? Are you a pro or a rank amateur? Who are you? I have been on this board for some time and every so often someone pops up out of NOWHERE, and begins denigrating someone on this board. I have contributed to this board, and to Blackjack Forum and to Blackjack Review for many years.
Any response is welcome! Let's work it out and smooth things over in beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada or some other casino!
Sincerely,With no animosity,
Robbie
