I just finished playing in casino where the players all seemed to unanimously agree that if a player enters the middle of a shoe game it messes up the flow of the cards. What were they talking about? I thought it didn't matter if someone entered a game in mid progress. One player immediately set an extra hand down when a player suddenly left. Is this nonsense?? Thanks
100% pure no-kidding quaranteed nonsense.
Now, if I was a counter, and the count was sky high, I might be saying the same thing and asking you politely .. to wait your turn.
Yea, I've heard the same comment also when spreading hands. While it is true that the sequenceing will be changed as players enter or leave games, no one can predict whether that sequence change will be benifical or detrimental to the individual players. Whether wonging in and out, or spreading hands, you will hear this complaint from time to time. Don't let it bother you.
Even the dealer mentioned to me that it "the flow" could be altered by players entering and exiting the game in the middle of the deck. Does anyone think that the flow is a superstition that the casino may support to thrwart backcounters? Thanks

Dealers also may be spewing out the flow myth to try to bond with the superstitious ploppies, hoping to increase their tips.
ploppy nonsense whenever it can't hurt you. Otherwise you may be perceived as a possible counter. Learn to use a little reverse psychology on them if they whine too much. Make up something that sounds good to them even though it's total voodoo nonsense as to why you did what you did.
"no one can predict whether that sequence change will be benifical or detrimental to the individual players"
Well said Mr. Lee.
Tell them you understand the flow because you are "psychically connected" to the cards and know that now is the time for you to change the flow to help the table. Complete and utter bullshit, but that is good cover for you. Look like a ploppy, act like a ploppy, but sting like a bee.

Yes, it is pure nonsense unless of course it was a counter like myself who wanted to take advantage of a newly open spot during which there happened to be a heavy + count. Then who subsequently says a typical ploppyism such as: "Gee, I better play that spot to keep the flow of the cards in order."
In can be kind of fun to appear to be so serious for something that is such ridicules nonsense. ;-)
