  22. I did it!

    Zenwin,

    I played first base in an 8 deck, hand shuffled game. There were 3 people, including me in the game when I started. But the number varied from 3-5 throughout the game. Surprisingly, the quality of the game remained fairly consistent even with players coming and going. I left the game when a sixth person entered. The casino was starting to get more crowded and the game had already started to deteriorate anyway on the last shoe. I was playing a very conservative game and was often standing rather than hitting because the tens were not clumped very well and seemed to be distributed well throughout the shoe. So I did not get the usual rude comments from the dealer or other players for hitting too much like I usually do in an NBJ game.

    I did, however, draw alot of attention from the pit boss who kept walking back and forth trying to determine what I was doing with my stack of chips that I was using to track the signature of the game. Has this ever happened to you? Each time he came by I pretended to be building a little pyramid of irregular chip stacks, and when he kept eyeing me I kept building even while the dealer was shuffling. Eventually he went away and I started covering my stack of signature chips better with my right hand so that he could not see what was going on.

    How is your game coming along?

    Well today I finally did it. I won 42 units!

    I went to a different casino which is farther away, but I like their

    shuffle better. Ellis, I had been listening to the WCB tapes #5 & 6

    all the way to the casino (and also probably two dozen times before

    today) but today it just clicked! After one shoe I realized that I was

    hitting too much and was often breaking, and the dealer was breaking

    a little more than the 25%, so I started standing more and hitting less

    because the 10s were not clumped well and seemed to be often well

    distributed throughout the shoe. It was a slow easy game and it took

    me three and a half hours, but I have never stayed that long in the game

    before. The long ride home is much better when you win!

    I hope that this was not a coincidence! I feel like calling in sick tomorrow

    so that I can go back to the casino to see if I can win again and prove

    that this was not a fluke! Maybe I am finally learning how to vary my play.
