Last month, visited Horseshoe in DT LV. As the boards indiciated, things were not good. Most all was 6D. Did find 2 DD, $10 tables, in the back. One was full, but the other had "only" 2 players. 1st base was occupied by an African-American, while an Oriental-American occupied 3rd, so me, an English-German-Cherokee-God knows what-American hit the center field seat.
Both players seemed to be good BS players, and one seemed to be a CC. Both were winning, and soon, both wanted to leave; 1st base was already an hour late to meet friends for dinner....3rd base wanted to go see BELLY-Dancers! Really. I suggested that right next door, there were girls who will dance with Belly, Breasts, Lap, P#ssy, etc., but he was not interested....he actually had a PC helping him get phone # and directions! Probably better EV at the Belly Dancing place.
Got about 1/2 hour of good heads-up action. Pen. was "fair", and I was winning. Chit-chatted with several PC's. ALL lamented about the good old HS. One even said that "Not long ago, you would walk past almost nothing but SD tables from the front of this place to the back"....I tried to act as if this was not important, as I fought back the tears. One told me that he had heard that "Speedway Casino" had already bought the HS from Harrah's, with the intent of eventually moving the HS to the Strip, using the Frontier's property.
????? I am just reporting what he said.
Then an older white-haired gentleman, led by the arm by a similar aged female (presumably his wife), and carrying a white cane, sat down at the table. He announced to the Dealer that he was blind, and that his wife was going to help him play his hands. PC came over and kindly offered to have the Dealer turn his/their cards face-up, so as to help her (AND ME) out.
GREAT I thought! Since I was functionally at 3rd base now, would get lots more info. before making my play decisions!
"Would not even think of it," replied the man, "treat me like anyone else, just that she will have to tell me what I have."
DAMN! Well, it did help a little. He would get his first 2 cards dealt face-down...the Dealer would put them right by his left hand, so they were not hard to find. He would then pick them up and show them to his companion, and she would tell him what he had. Certainly, when she said "you have a total of 5 or 20, etc." then I usually knew what cards he had (soft hands were indicated when she said "you have an ace and a 4" for example....however, "13", for example, was not as helpful....a 7+6 or 10+3....the difference of a plus-3 vs. minus-1 with the count I use. Anyhow they played, lost a little, and left. They were nice folks, and actually enjoyed their company, and admired their FORTITUDE.
I stayed ahead, and cashed in 70 Units profit, + one pack of comp'd smokes.
Off to see the T#tty Dancers! Wide spread hit the Bankroll HARD!
Profit for day......40 UNITS!
