Things you LOVE at the BJ table!

Think of this as the positive version of the "most annoying habits" thread. In this, list things that other players do at the BJ table that make you smile and be happy!

1) Player banter: I may be biased here since I gamble in Macau (and there is very little banter) but I like a bit of banter and personality. Its fun. And I feel less lonely.

2) Having rider bets placed on me: This makes me feel wonderful! I like to consider it an expression of confidence in me as a good investment. Having apparently wealthy Hong Kong businessmen place 500HKD rider bets on me (and I flat-bet 100 HKD) is a real thrill.

3) Freaky players: I'm biased here since, well, I'm gothic, but having other interesting people at the table gives places character and makes the game more fun.

4) Complementary drinks: Self-explanatory. Especially because I drink like a sailor.

5) "Spot the ho!": The game my mother and I play when wandering around the casinos whilst very, very drunk (yes, I know this isn't technically "at" the table). Spot the 'suspiciously dressed small-businesswomen.'

6) Good dealers: I love the dealers that deal slowly, bantering along with the players (again, a rarity in Macau). Especially when they ever-so-slowly deal their own hands, resulting in extreme levels of tension, with me usually standing up, saying 'picturepicturepicture' over and over again.

I love when you I put out 2 max bets and hit BJ on both of them and everyone looks at you like your the king. :grin:

1) I love when people sit at the table, who know nothing about the game and talk about card counting and even when dealers talk about it to me or the players, usually it ends up with you have to be a genius.

2) Comps

3) Dealers of course, mostly just conversing with them on random things.

4) Acting like you know just as much as grandpa on the end who has been playing all his life and insists you have to play by the same rules as the dealer.

may sound bad, but i just love the thrill of the gamble at the table, mostly things such as the throw out a massive bet at the right time and hit either a sweet double or BJ. Love that rush even when its kind of expected

Still being somewhat new to counting, I still enjoy "seeing counting work;" when the count gets high and you start hitting those 20's and bj's.

Don't worry, it won't. Lucky wins are yours to keep, you never have to pay them back. Same for the bad beats. All you are guaranteed is your EV in an infinite number of hands.
