Fellow players: BEWARE! It is inconceivable to be pushed on 95% of a pair of tens and the other 5% beaten by a dealer BJ. Hands of 19 and 18 are rarely winners. Out of frustration, I was splitting 10s only to still be pushed. On one pair of slpit 10s I drew two hands of 20, only to be beaten by a triumphant smiling dealer with a dealer BJ. I found myself surrendering 17s and hitting 15s and 16s vs dealer 3,4,5, and 6s since the dealer never busted at a normal % rate. When players made standard moves as standing on 13 vs dealer 16 especially 3rd base, the whole table lost. Dealers kept making 4 and 5 card 21s.
In my frustration, I got in my car Saturday nite at 1:30 am and drove 2 hrs to a real casino to see if I was in the twilight zone. Too my happiness, I found a $50 table where players were actually enjoying themselves. I actually won standing on soft 18 and 19. As a bonus I was never pushed on a hand of 20 and my two BJs weren't beaten by a dealer BJ. This dealer actually busted! I was able to follow a 5 unit progression of my bets and was up to $250 a hand. Twenty-five minutes later, I was up $2,425.00! I was actually disappointed because I drove all that way and to only stay 25 minutes? Got home at 6:00 am exhausted and killed the day but I AM CURED. Don't fall into the trap of being too lazy to drive a couple of hours. It will cost you.
