what would you do ?

[BradRod]

During my recent play - 2hands. I waved the first hand . The dealer- distracted by some nearby slot machine activity - then produced a card to bust my second hand. I protested that I had not signalled nor asked for a card.

Pit person was called over and decided to burn the last card - a 9 to my 15 hand against her 8 up card. I was again given the option of hit or stand. The count would have called for a hit. I thought that I could not hit the hand after already having protested her giving me a card. I was on my second chance for this hand, saved from the bust and figured I would take my chance now that she would bust her own hand so, that is what I did.

She turned over a T, (the next card was a 5)

Would you have hit or stood ?

Not said anything to begin with

The index for 15 vs 8 is +23 (Uston APC) a true count this high rarely happens so I most likely would not have even been thinking about what to do and just been playing BS. This being said I would have accepted the hit card but mentioned to the dealer (politely) to always wait for my signals. Of course assuming the floor has already shown up I would have stood on the hand. It is better to give up a bit of EV to not look like a horse's ass after making a stink about not wanting to hit. Just my 2 cents. SM
