Funny thing happened to me at the table yesterday. Towards the end of the day, I got a monster count, by far the highest count of the day. So, clearly there was no way I was going to leave the table until I rode the count for all I could. As I was reaching for my chips to place my max bet, one of my contact lenses suddenly dried up, crinkled, and lodged itself painfully in the corner of my eye! My eye turned red, I grimaced and blinked several hundred times, and the dealer looked at me like I was deranged! But there was no way I was leaving with the count so high. I managed to suffer through the pain until the end of the shoe, and won 3 hands with my max bet. Then I ran to the bathroom to fix the lens!

A funny thing happen to me at the end of my day yesterday also.
I was playing a 6D with 4 other players at the table and the count was rising. The 4 players got up and left all at once leaving me all alone with a 10+ Red7 count with about 15 hands to go.
I played my max to mid bet for those remaining hands and grabed 3 snappers and one correct insurance call. Ended up swinging back about 35 units and made the day a winner after a terrible morning.
I love this game!

Hahahahahaha!! I can picture you there staring with one eye. Reminds me of the first time I got whalin drunk. Had to crawl home on my hands and knees with one eye open because when I used two I couldn't see str8. I made it to the front lawn and my sister found me and I asked her not to tell anyone, but Dad came out and scooped me up and put me in my bedroom.........right beside the trash can that doubles as a great barf bucket.
Saw a dealer with a similar problem.
I had a somewhat similar experience where the dealer had the contact problem. His contact kept floating off in his eye while he was dealing. Every 3-5 hands he misdealt (usually putting a card on the wrong hand and I would get the option to pull my bet back after they finished dealing. Then the floor would watch the rack while he fixed his contact. That was a shoe where it was worthwhile to know the ev tables. I was the only one at the table pulling their bets back at the right time.
