A bad week.

Well, you know, girls usually aren't good at math

I say you have been hanging around the wrong girls. Counting does not require much math skill.

Sounds to me like those are the right girls! :grin:

Glad to see I'm not the only one who has been having a bad stretch lately. On my last trip, I kid you not, despite playing for about 3 hours heads up, the dealer had BJ on every ace they had showing close to 80% of the time no matter what the count was. It got to the point where I was getting ready to screw the count and just put down insurance. Yet every time I had an ace, I'd get 2,3 or 4.

That reminds me a heads-up 6D shoe game that I had not long ago. Dealing into the first two decks only, dealer had 9 blackjacks while I had none. The pit counted the number of blackjacks, not me. That must be some sort of record.

You were screwing the entire table by taking all the dealer's small cards with your aces instead of leaving them for him. :flame: You could have at least changed seats! Signed: Lany Ploppas

That reminds me of rule #14 from my latest book: Always bet min when the dealer gets blackjacks, and max when you get blackjacks. You did that, didn't you? View attachment 7026 I certainly hope you were betting min. View attachment 7027

PS--Wonging out before dealer blackjacks is even better EV, but may arouse suspicions. View attachment 7028
