Pulling your $50 bet down to $10 and receiving a blackjack. Especially after you just lost a $50 bet. I just think god damn why couldn't I have gotten blackjack when I had the $50 bet out there. I always end up losing for the night if I don't win the big hands even if I win the small ones. If I win the big hands I can win for the night even if I lose 60% of the hands.

How about betting 2 hands of $300 and getting 2 stiffs, only for you to only play the next hand 1x10 and get a Blackjack!

Such a cruel joke.

Howzabout getting pounded at a 3CP poker table and some guy comes along, plays the seat to your right and gets dealt your straight flush the first hand.

How about pounding LLs for weeks without a jackpot and then the deck stays
negative (for LLs) for an hour and a half during which you get QQh FOUR times! zg

I got a SF on my second hand, but thankfully I was sitting to the left of the guy who had been getting pounded all day, so I didn't elicit the urge to kill, just a few remarks about rookie luck from the guy on my left who arrived when I did because I asked him what hands I should play and fold. He said, we'll help you out, don't worry! Maybe I should have tipped him instead of the dealer.

How about waiting for an ace and you spread to 3x 200 to see the only other player. Playing only one spot catch it with a 10 dollar bet

Same as getting an ace on your eleven double down. It happens so often, you begin to think it's supposed to happen! :eek: :cry: :whip: So easy to forget the times it went your way! :eek:

had plenty of nights where the count never gets good and i just crush with min bets. this isnt that unlikely since if the count is always tanking then you already got the good cards and ur profit comes from wonging out which is much less conspicious than bet spreading

(these have mostly happened playing heads up, but i cant help but wonder if a shuffle tracker had been at my table on some of these occasions)

I thought this couldn't happen to seasoned AP's.

It does happen when the count drops precipitously from a plus count to a negative one. I presume he was following the correct betting spread for counting.

isn't 3card poker one of the worst games in a casino cause the casino's edge is so high? Or is it one of those games you play when you want to "gamble"?

Depends on the paytables. I play it at The Pioneer in Laughlin. Its the only casino I know of that still pays the original pay-tables. 40-1,30-1,6-1 and 4-1 on the PP bet.
