aslan,

Thanks for the tip regarding Mandalay Bay's DD game Will definitely check it out next weekend.

You know, all the MGM casinos, which includes MB, have pretty good games, and they don't sweat losing a few dollars to advantage players. The biggest problem is their management who don't know sh#t from shinola when it comes to running a casino. Many of them get their perspective from listening to their wives and friends complaining about playing a slot machine for an hour and not winning anything. Management at some casinos. They might crack down on advantage players because they don't realize that they are little threat to their bottom line. Even if they walk with $30,000 OR $40,000, that is only 3 or 4 hands for some highrollers.

Anyone going to be there from the 24th to the 31st?

My buddy just called me and bailed last minute. I still plan on going but Vegas alone for four days is not sounding nearly as fun as Vegas with a friend...

I just finished playing MB's double deck game. The pen was fine and there were no problems except for the fact that I could not win in positive counts. lol Other than that, everything was honky dory.

Sorry to hear that aslan . . . will be out there in two days. Just a couple quick questions, if you don't mind . . . S17 or H17? pen > 60%?

H17. Split aces up to 4 hands. Pen was 70 t0 80%. No surrender. Double any two cards. I experienced lots of long positive counts. Normally, I should have made a killing. That's precisely why I kept going back, but each time it was the same story. They are counter smart in my opinion, so unless you just jump in for a quick hit, you need to practice a little masking to avoid special attention. The masking. however, was not responsible for my losing, as I did well when when I was mixing it up and not betting strictly by the book. Go figure!

Are you including Luxor in those comments? Penetration on DD was bad last time I looked.
