I usually play single deck and an occasional double deck when the SD is not available. I use cocktails as cover AND enjoyment, which hasn't been a problem until now. We took an ocean cruise recently and the only game onboard was 8 decks. Holy crap, there's no horsin around. There are cards flyin everywhere. You have got to be on your game. I thought I was a good counter, (which I am at THE EASY GAMES), until I played these fast games. Phew! Some things didn't change though, like I was makin $ heads-up or with one other player but too many players was still a crapshoot. Anyway, just a quick post to let you shoe players know I have new-found respect for ya. I think a newbie suggested a week or three ago that it seemed like work and the veteran yelled, IT IS WORK!
