Dealer Ignorance Of The Game

While on 6D recently, I was constantly being ripped on by an idiot dealer regarding my plays such as; spliting 4/4 againt 5 or 6, doubling or hitting A/7, splitting 9/9. She kept telling me and informing the others that I was ruining the flow of the cards with my crazy plays. After a while of the verbal abuse, I decided to say something like the following:

"Do you know that the mere fact that we are even having this conversation regarding the 'flow of the cards', will forever in the future of your dealings, change what would have been the originally naturally scheduled 'flow of the cards'?" D says, "What?" I went on to say, "I'm serious, eveything you do in your life or that you encounter, affects what would have been, had you not been affected by those typical things that happen in the course of your life and at this table. So, it's not only me that is changing the flow here. Regardless of whatever happens in the shuffle or the way in which the players play, the outcome is still just random."

If the egnorance continues, I usally just shut-up and play or leave.

Re: The Flow of Life

You are right, every thing you do, including how many times you shake your tool after you take a leak upon entering the casino affects when you get into a shoe and thus affects your entire night. But it's random. Could help, could hurt.

Or maybe not. I have a 1.5 hour drive over some treacherous roads to get to my store, and I'm the kind of guy who stops to help people on the road. Helping with tires, picking up hitchhikers, directing traffic at accidents, I do it all. But I've noticed every time I've stopped to help someone on the way to the casino, I've had a losing night. Go figure.

Maybe it's Satan at work, putting these stumbling blocks in my way to make me have a losing night and thus increase the net suffering of humanity.

Or maybe it's God putting me to the test to see whether I care about my fellow man or blackjack more, and every lost hand is a victory in Heaven.

Or maybe I'm just illustrating the way a ploppy sees things! Limited trials, colored by emotion.

Re: The Flow of Life

Helping a person out is never a bad thing under most conditions. You can use your gut instinct (listen to the spirit, ID, Chi, Life Force, whatever you want to call it) or just your brain. All are tools that we need to learn to use, but more so, when to use them. That tire you changed could have saved your life, or lost it for you. Either way, you lived or died doing the right thing. I always tell people that I have helped to pass it on. Trust the math, and trust your spirit man. That is unless it's your neighbours dog speaking in tongues telling to to kill children or something. ;> Just know that if you trust the wrong things time will show you that you picked the wrong road.

logic vs religion

When I refer to the FLOW is caps, it is because it is the religion of the ploppy and when you try to change their beliefs with something as ridiculous as logic or even sarcasim, the best answer you will probably get from them is something like, Duh! Let's face it, most dealers, probably the vast majority are of the ploppy mindset of voodoo. Take into consideration that with all the new casinos throughout the country, many are just new. Their job is to deal the cards, take the ploppy's money for the house and also, at the same time, bond with the ploppys for toks. They learn that by picking up the same superstitions they can be at one with the players. That said, the dealer who will verbally or visually single out a player for playing poorly or even the cardinal sin of "FLOW destruction", is a fool who would never get a cent in toks from me. Even the pit (most of them are believers also) should discipline such a dealer. I recently saw a very bad player get lectured by a dealer so harshly that she was brought to tears. This woman was flat betting $50 per hand and toking $5 after every single win, a dealers dream player and the guy drove her off the table because other players complained about her play. The pit saw and heard most of this and I would guess that the idiot dealer had a price to pay for running off a good (looser) customer.

One other thing: You can catch heat for the things mentioned or not. I have played at tables where it seemed that everyone was a near BS player. No heat on A7, or 12vs3, 99, or hit 16, but when the count determined things like stay 16, take insurance, 12vs4, or double A8, the temperature rose quickly. I generally know in a short period of time what to expect from the other players, but dealers should deal. As one critter said to a dealer who was trying to convince a guy that he had to hit 4,2 , "let the players play their hands."

Finally, always remember that more often than not, most of the players at your table will be loosing. This means that because you are a generous team player, you have chosen this time to attempt to change the FLOW for the benifit of all. I have been known to announce my attempt to better the FLOW. If I fail, well I tried.

We must usually agree with the ignorance

Well said. Thanks for the reminder. It's a little bit fun to argue a point when you know your right. Sometimes it gets really hard not to do it when the crap your getting is excessive and coming from the D.

Re: We must usually agree with the ignorance

Just tell him/her that you don't trust anyone, and since they work for the casino, chances are they are telling you crap so you'll lose so they can stand there and look like they have nobody that wants to play with them.....like the dork running the big six wheel. Then start to talk about how the B6 is the biggest rip off in the casino.
