Sometimes you really have to work at it just to keep from losing. Whatever happened to a Charlie?



Should I have hit again to try for 21? After all, there are 22 more aces in the shoe!

That's funny, I was *just* playing and had a seven-card *16*. Mine's worse.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't capture. Yes, I hit even though the odds were probably in standing's favor by a minuscule amount. Busted, of course. What else is new?

I agree -- where's the screen capture?

Oh, and did you hit the 16? Surely if you got to seven cards, hitting again would still be basic strategy.

when this happens it seems to be the dealer who squeaks it out unbelievably, with me the victim!

As a dealer the worst I have ever given out was on a full table (7 player) no one with anything lower than 14 or higher than 18.

I have a 2. The cards then come A-3-6-4-5.

And you wonder why people dont trust Csm's.
