I spent yesterday on the strip, which is becoming a rare event for me. I noticed several new "most interesting man" ads at Duece bus stops, or at least they were new to me. Two were Vegas themed.

1.) "What happens in Vegas is reported directly to him". Kind of weak, IMO.

2.) "His 'wolf pack' is an actual wolf pack". I liked this one.

3.) My favorite was a blackjack themed...."He doubles down regardless of his two cards".

The Most Interesting Man is a ploppy?

I'm disappointed. I figured he would play perfect basic strategy, at minimum.

I agree, having him make bad blackjack plays isn't interesting. It should have gone in the other direction:

a) "He knows the true count on all the blackjack tables at once."
b) "He can influence the dice when he isn't shooting."
c) "He can win a hand of five-card stud with only three cards." (Inspired by Chuck Norris Facts)

I like that last one the best. Very funny.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

If they were to do a TV commercial, where they had more time, they could show him doubling down on a 2,4 and winning when the dealer busts.
