Though I havent played for any real means of tender in a awhile because of a suspended DL. But what really, really, blows my hair back, is Hooking Two twentys with Max bets out, only to lose against a dealears 21 when showing a 8 or 9 upcard.:flame:

i hate

i'd have to say the dealer flipping over 15 (5 showing) and a drawing a 6 with a TC of +9 and i have 3 hands of 20. This seems to happen way too often. im always so tempted to say something about the count and hows theres no small cards left in the shoe.

Hands down

My biggest nemesis is the Ace on dd 11. The reason is the naturally positive expected result and subsequent disappointment. The 12 v.2, in my mind doesn't bug me as much because I'm aware that it's a rather defensive play.

I pull so many Aces on my dd11s that I sometimestry to make a sidebet with someone.
It's a 1 in 13 shot,so I offer 10-1 on a buck.

What ticks me of is when somebody blows smoke in my face. Another thing is another person asking for a hit before it is there turn. One person managed to make an annoying sound unique to only him when he would ask for a hit and it drove me crazy that I had to move tables.

The fact that I can not lick my elbow.
I know a gal in Vegas who does that sort of thing for $20. :cool2: I've never asked about elbows though...

I've done that on accident before, but since I also find it annoying, I try to cut back on it. usually happens if a very slow player is to my right.

All of them!!!

All of these scenarios are irritating as hell! Every one of these things is troublesome and "bursts your bubble"...worse is if you get the ace on top of your 11 EACH AND EVERY TIME you double down for an entire shoe or two...or...break each and EVERY time you hit the 12 with the dealer having the 2 upcard but you happen to notice that the dealer is making hands every time THEY hit about any ol' thing, regardless of the count.

I think you pinpointed the five most irritating and bothersome things that can possibly happen, though. It was a tough call to decide on!

It's getting towards 3AM, I am about to get down the road to AC shortly and I am hoping that NONE of those juicy picks happens to me today!

all of them but.....

i voted for drawing the ace on the 11 double down. i guess because it is a classic.
but a real downer that wasn't listed is where you count all night and never see a decent count. :flame:

I LOVE it when I draw an ace on an eleven double down and then the dealer busts!

Recently, I split aces and drew an ace and a deuce, but I won both hands when the dealer busted!

I don't get ticked off unless I'm playing bad.

I hate getting an ace on an 11 for many reasons. 12 is a crap hand is the most obvious, but I hate that I've just killed what is otherwise a great hand (an 11) AND that I just dropped the count by 1 AND that there's one less Blackjack for me to get.

About the only thing worse is doubling down a 9 and getting a 2. =)

tick offs

I would have to say the biggest ticking off I get is in positive counts. I'm getting **** for hands and almost if not everyone else is 20s 21s at the table shoe after shoe. I just want to scream like a madman after this happens time and time again. blackchipjim
