I had a much more pleasant blackjack experience yesterday in Atlantic City (compared to my previous trip) not only because I came out ahead, but also because I managed to avoid worshippers of "the flow" throughout most of the day. I tended to end up (by luck only) with more serious, quiet players who kept to themselves than those who love to yap at the table and complain when anyone messes with their sacred flow. This enabled me to jump in and out, vary my number of spots played, and sit out hands whenever I wanted, without the usual complaints. Does anyone else find that most flow worshippers are females between the ages of 25 and 55? This has been my experience. Also, I had a dealer complain to a table of ploppies, concerning my jumping and in and out and messing up the flow!
