Re: Backliner options at Foxwood?
You should try to work that out before you get going. One of the guys I have played with was easy going and we both trusted each others judgement. If I was at first he would be two doors down from me and we would both play the spot between us. After we got the second card we would figure out what to do with our shared hand, then play our own as we normally would. When we won he would grab the original bet and I the pay off then I would bet or he would and if we thougth that there was not enough on the spot would top it up and so would the other guy.
1.Surrenders
Tell him that when he wants to surrender you will buy the hand from him or tell him to go ahead. ;> Some people surrender when they should not. He has $10 out you pick up the $10 bet for $5.
2.Splits
If he does NOT want to split, tell him you would like to split and play and keep the winnings from YOUR hand and go 50/50 with the shared hand.
3.DD's
Same as above.
If your partner doesn't go for this, then just make sure he plays perfect basic, or if you are really lucky departs from bs per index #'s, and bet behind him at TC+2 or better.
