Users rond Posted May 11, 2006 Users Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hi Group, you guys got me started with all the neat tactics we used to employ with NBJ power...I recall the day Ellis, Keith, the Lavery's and myself did a table take over at the Sands. We were playing a $50.00 table and I was seated at mid table. We had the dealer breaking. I had a $150.00 bet out and was dealt a pair of threes against a dealer (6) up card. Based on the card flows, the dealer appeared stiff and my only concern was that the dealer break. I was very concerned about splitting the threes and ending up with two (thirteens) and possibly taking the ten that the dealer may need to break. I paused on the hand and decided that I was going to stand on the threes and hope for a break. I knew I was either going to be a hero or a heel. I took my chances. The dealer called for the pit boss to witness the play so there would be no dispute afterwards. The pit boss just could'nt accept that I wanted to stay on the hand. It got to the point that I had to yell " I'm just staying as is."The dealer flipped her card and had a ten in the hole. She drew a ten and broke, however, if I would have taken the ten on a split play the dealer would have wiped out the table as the next cards were low and would have got the dealer a 4 card (21). Man, I miss those days.Ron D Quote Visit the Precision Blackjack Site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GA Member Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Having just completed my rehab, I'm anxious to get back into play again.I play a great 1st base... not afraid to shove it out there. I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys better. I built up a good backroll while in rehab... easy to do when you have no expenses, hahaha!

Guest CarlosM Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 GA. What are some unigue first base tricks you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GA Member Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Unique?I don't think I have anything "unique".. I just bet the most $$ when I think I'm going to get a 1st card "10". 10s will follow 10s more than they should, so I'm not afraid to push a pile in when I think I'm getting a 10. Simple as that. Nothing magical ... except having the guts to push a stack. It has been working for me for quite some time. Do you know something unique that I'm missing?Trixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Users ECD Posted May 13, 2006 Users Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Do you know something unique I'm missing? Yeah, a couple things like:Differentiating between first and third base games Number of players Boxed card order on new cards. Boxed card order on single and 2 deck due to introducing new cards so often. BJ insurance reads dealer hole card reads. recommended spreads Betting progressions on your hi bets only. Noting the number of tens in a row in the game you are in. Are 8's running with 10's Are aces running with tens, Are 2's running with tens. Is the dealer breaking Is the dealer breaking on highs or lows. How often are you getting your 1st card ten How often is it winning Time of day vs new cards No vig - Betting over the sholder of the first base player on high percentage bets.Do you do any of those things.

Guest GA Member Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Ellis, Professional Player:That's quite a list. What exactly was your goal in constructing such a post... to show how much you know? Or to show me how much you think I *don't* know? Either way, your arrogance is somewhat pathetic and not at all what I expected from this site.I hope your shoulder improves... it must be very painful from patting yourself on the back all the time.BTW... if you want to go toe-to-toe with me on anything on your list (which, technically, are variables to the game, and NOT "unique tips", which is what *I* had been asked to provide), I'd be glad to do it. Where would you like to start?Trixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Users ECD Posted May 14, 2006 Users Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 No offense intended. Just trying to get you to show your hand. Old gambling habit. Works every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
