This thread has taken a weird and confusing turn.

Not at all. Good to see you found a new friend to banter with on the other site, DT! Nathan and you are going back and forth I see!
Ok. I have time. So here’s the summary. You chose ‘blackjackckpro’ as a moniker, but your first post was a particularly stupid blackjack post that I would be embarrassed if my 8 year old child posted. Your posting style is reminiscent of Nathan. And Kentry. Trolls they were. (I’ll take a suspension if needed). So long time members are making inuendis about you all being the same. Thankfully Nathan has been banned from here. But the forum is not technologically sophisticated enough to figure out with 100% certainty who is who so we will have to put up with your inane posts, just as we did with Nathan’s.

Well in that case one time I was a bit punchy and playing BJ with a six deck shoe. Without thinking when the dealer gave me my cards I just picked them and held them close to my body as if I was playing the other version. Oops.
My hand came 9-8 spades. I call the bet of another player, two of us seeing the flop.
The flop comes 9-9-5. Opponent bets, I raise and he calls.
The turn is a 9 !!!!! I have quad 9s. Opponent and I both go all in. Opponent turns over pocket K-K pair; he has a full house.
And I turned over: 8-7 spades. WTF? Where is my 9? I mis- remembered my hand! I have nothing. $200 gone, along with all of my dignity.

Oh, wait. Wrong movie. Go ahead with your conversation.
I've been meaning to ask, and maybe someone who's not currently suspended can explain to me....Quote: BlackjackProI got overly cocky with a Blackjack hand that seemed almost to be a sure thing. I had a 20, Dealer had a 10. I thought,"This is a near perfect hand! I've basically got this in the bag! "Dealer ended up with another 11, so naturally I busted.
If BlackjackPro had 20 and is a Blackjack Pro, under what circumstances could he/she 'bust'?
Or does 'bust' have a different meaning in US Blackjack to what it does in England?
Here it is generally taken to mean 'To take one's hand over 21 and thus lose'
Anyone?

You could still ask for a card crazy as it is

But then it wouldn't really matter that the dealer got 21.Quote: darkozYou could still ask for a card crazy as it is
BlackjackPro used the word 'bust' completely incorrectly as someone who is anything but a blackjack pro might do,
I ask again under what other circumstances WOULD a BLACKJACK PRO find themselves taking their hand to being BUST from having a twenty. I'm not aware of any count at which hitting 20 is best strategy unless she had seen that the next card was going to be an ace. Indeed if she had seen that the next card was an ace, she would have doubled for the money and the theatre of it.
And this is even before we consider whether any blackjack player would be so shocked to have their 20 beaten from a dealer 10.
Nope. BlackjackPro is not a blackjack pro. No way.
I'd even contest that Blackjack pro has probably never even played blackjack, in spite of claiming great card counting prowess on another forum... Where she has also been called out.
Enough of this nonsense.

It means Nathan knows nothing about BJ and therefore effed up her post trying to sound smart about BJ.
Yes. She's in a league of her own. Do they have that side-bet in Miami?Quote: mcallister3200Face it simpletons, blackjackpro is on another level. Was probably playing that 21 magic sidebet in Colorado or something. Of course you would hit 20.

I suppose there's a small chance that "bust" in this context means "bet all my money, got 20, lost, and had no remaining funds." i.e. "he busted out of the game"

You are correct. "Busting" is going over 21. Having a 20 and having a dealer make 21 is "losing." There are even sidebets and games that use the word "bust" in the name in which it is intended to mean "Going over 21."
I considered that possibility as semantically acceptable on one level. But this is supposedly a BlackJack Pro talking about a hand of Blackjack in the context of Blackjack.Quote: rdw4potusI suppose there's a small chance that "bust" in this context means "bet all my money, got 20, lost, and had no remaining funds." i.e. "he busted out of the game"
I assert that there is no way in hell that any such Blackjack Pro would ever have made that post, using those words.
It stinks of non-blackjack player trying to post on a wholly unfamiliar topic.
Surprised that the dealer 10 ended up beating a pair of tens?
Worst mistake ever?
Using the term 'bust' to mean something other than exceeding 21 in a hand of blackjack. No chance.
I'm not going to give this inanity any more of my time.
Who would have guessed that?

Sadly, that bet is long gone.
But, BJPro would have lost when the dealer peeked for the A.
Even if the dealer didn't have an A, a pro would have known it's best to split those 10s.
Saw that. Already knew anyway. Yet another member is using an iphone in Miami.Quote: BozA certain poker pro who just finished up impressively in the WSOP Main event found BJP is using a T-Mobile phone in the Miami area.

Maybe the biggest gambling mistake someone made is buying a fistful of smart-phones to play 'whack-a-troll' with.

Yet you have made multiple posts today regarding her. Seems that without her a piece of the forum dies. Where is the tolerance so many preach about?
The original reason for the initial nuke was super weak. That is fact.
You're right, in one way. I waste too much time on these 'pieces of the forum'. Advice duly noted.Quote: MaxPenYet you have made multiple posts today regarding her. Seems that without her a piece of the forum dies. Where is the tolerance so many preach about?

Also noted that Maxpen recognised 'her'. Such unity is unsettling.
