The Adventures of Lemieux (split from Atlantic City Forum)
Quote: BozI have another trip scheduled for AC coming up but I wonder if I should cancel it because it looks like the may just take out the BJ tables based on Mario's play. Seems like all the time that they are spending trying to chase him away is making them evaluate if it is even worth it to keep the tables open. And now having to spend money on billboards, it may not be worth it.
Don Johnson couldn't do it but Super Mario may just end it for all of us in AC.
Thanks a lot!
I'm just telling you what they said. They one hand and hundred dollar max bet me. Once at Trop and the final time I went to Borgata they shuffled the shoe. I'm simply reporting what happened. They being logical or not isn't the point because they still do it.
Quote: Lemieux66I was at the red felt s17 6 deck game. Overnight PB was there(might be the only guy in town who doesn't know me lol) and I didn't give my card. First hand I began with 25...ended up losing 75 because of a double and split. After that hand it was +16 RC with no dead aces. Jammed my last 225 on the table and won. Bet never went lower than 150 from there on out with about a 375 max.
LOL this guy has got to be trolling.
Quote: ahiromuI don't follow this thread too closely, so sorry if someone else has reported on this, but just wanted to mention that they're at least partially (if not fully) done adding table games to the Wild Wild West casino. I walked by there on Fri night, they had a DJ playing music with a reasonably large dance floor (free and open to everyone). Not too many people dancing - I'm pretty sure it was country music. The table games were in a small pit, sorry I forgot to check for 6:5. There were a couple of cowgirls dancing in the middle of the pit, it had a similar feeling to the party pits in Vegas.
I had no idea they re-opened the WWW table games area - they had a wall up the last time I sauntered through there.

What are you even talking about?
Seeing as how counting has been declared entirely legal by the state's courts, there is not much chance of a pit boss or anyone else's coming over and telling a paying customer to get lost. That is not saying they cannot adopt defensive actions like shuffling up. But if the other poster was truly verbally or physically harassed by the casino, that would be cause to register a complaint with the state authorities. Possibly even seeking damages.Quote: Lemieux66I'm just telling you what they said. They one hand and hundred dollar max bet me.

Exactly. I'm not going to play in a situation where I don't have an advantage. They didn't harass me in any way. I just know they'll make the situation unprofitable so that's that.
With that said, I'm going back to borgata on Friday because apparently my comp dollars are still there. I was told by a guy I know to call the DGE about it if they took them away. Friday will be the test.

Ok. Wow. They have done it me twice. Once Trop and once Borgata. There is a specific PB at Trop who whenever he sees me makes a beeline to other PB warning them about me. I know this because he looks me dead in the eye while he's whispering to the other PB.
None of you seem to understand. I'm not lying or exaggerating about ANYTHING I am saying. I'm wiling to tell any of you this in person. I will be in AC this Thursday and Friday.

Lets pretend for a second that your story is true and accurate. This "pit boss" (Is it really even the pit boss?) does not work 24 hours a day. If you think you have an advantage on a game then just go at a different time.

Did you read a couple of pages ago? That's exactly what I did to win the 2k.
Oh and there is no reason to pretend about anything. Why would I lie? What's the point of lying on the freaking gambling forum? How does it benefit me?

so then stop complaining about it and continue to do it. Problem solved.

I didn't complain about it. Boz and everyone else spoke about it and I just elaborated about the situation.

How many times in 2014 have you been flyered, shuffled up on, half shoed or bet restricted in AC? With today's modern surveillance, less and less pit bosses "stare down" players or bother them in any way. You wouldn't believe the things I've gotten away with.
They can't say no more blackjack so any heat will come in the form of one of the above mentioned ways. They can talk on the phone all they want or do anything else they want but until they take a specific action against you there is no heat. Add to that the fact that you really are not betting a lot of money by casino standards. I really hope someone can watch you play and help figure out what is going on.
This reminds me of the guy that wouldn't attend a football game because he was so sure that the people in the huddle were talking about him.

I just don't feel comfortable when I just get stared out. I get nervous.
I'm not entirely sure being flyered means(believe it or not, I haven't heard of that term) but...
I have been shuffled up on twice. Once at Trop once at Borgata.
Twice I have been half shoed. Both times at Revel. I have noticed numerous times though that the penetration when I officially sit down has gotten worse than when I'm just staring at the table though.
I have gotten bet restricted three times. Taj, Resorts, Borgata. The old one hand hundred dollar max situation.
Quote: 1BBFlyered is just a term for contacting other casinos. I'm sure it's all done by computer now but in the old days you may have actually seen a flyer with your picture on it in the pit. You wouldn't necessarily have a way to confirm whether they are sharing information about you these days.
I think there is a possibility that Revel contacted Borgata about me. My first instance of heat occurred at Revel and the next day I got it at Borgata. My friend had the same pattern.
Quote: AxelWolfPerhaps a particular pit boss just does not like him. So it may have nothing to do with his counting or anything. More strange is that he said, they took away his comps and now they are giving them back? I have never heard of such a thing, unless someone really put up a big fight for the comps back by contacting gaming.
As I stated a few pages ago, Revel had taken persons comps as part of some "your comps expire after # if days rule" - then, when a guest would inquire, they would put them back. This is what I believe happened to Lemieux

I pretty much stopped keeping track of my comp dollars at Revel after the poker room died.
As for Borgata, I was told on the phone that I couldn't use my comp dollars again. Yesterday I called and the automated voice said I still have them. Thursday or Friday ill head over and see what the deal is.

After all Ace has stated about his observations and experiences at Revel, I highly doubt that happened. Revel cant even remember their customers phone numbers, so they probably dont even have Borgata's.

Maybe. I just have the same story as my friend which is a bit too much to be a coincidence for me.
Quote: rhodyBobI've been lurking around, reading this thread for a while now. Honestly, I don't think this guy is even Mario Lemieux, either.
Banned!
You probably remember me then. My son and I are longtime Providence Bruin season ticket holders, and we get a set of free tickets every year to a BOSTON Bruins game. The seats are really lousy, up in the stratosphere where you can count the seconds between when you SEE someone hit the crossbar and when(one-Mississippi, two-Mississippi, three-Mississippi) you actually HEAR the distinctive clink that accompanies it.
Anyway. In 2000, we got tickets to see the Bruins play the Penguins. We went, and... you were there! Do you remember us?
Again, sorry for thinking it wasn't you on this thread. Hey. gotta go. I see a post from Gretsky99 asking about whether it's ever good to split 4s. That Great One. Knows hockey. Sucks at blackjack.

Also, maybe adjust the age range you are looking at...I would say mid to late 30's would work? Oh and hang out at dog parks :)
But then again, what do I know LOL

It won't be me this week. I certainly don't think you're lying. That's a little harsh.
Here's one you may enjoy. I was playing heads up the other day and wonged out for the second time in about 45 minutes. The pit boss came over and said if I want a shuffle to just ask. He said there was no need to pretend to go to the bathroom.
Heat or no heat? What would you have done?

I'd get super paranoid about this, but I think leaving confirms his suspicions of counting. If you were losing at the time id feel less nervous.

If you are playing heads up, how does going to the bathroom help? When you come back aren't you picking up right where you left off?

As I said Lemieux66 is catching heat for some unknown non counting reason.

Mario, I don't think any of us think that you are lying, at least I don't.
My thoughts are that you may be a little over paranoid, or you are doing something else that is bringing you the heat if it is indeed heat.

No, they spread the cards at whenever the table empties.
