Sexual harassment at the blackjack table

@veniteangeli: Thanks for the quick lesson

This SC makes me a sad panda.

It's not like I had to try very hard. The jackass was doing stupid stuff like splitting tens (WHO EVEN DOES THAT), and hitting on 16 when I had a six. It was like taking candy from a very stupid baby.

He probably watched some instructional video on how to play blackjack on YouTube and thought he was some kind of blackjack god....or he watched the movie 21 and thought he could beat the house.

Ha, I've had days where people have asked me "How do you play Blackjack?"

"Carefully."

But seriously, no one ever beats the house. Ever. I think I can count on one hand, the number of people who have walked away from my blackjack table SERIOUSLY up (in two years).

I usually walk away with about twice what I sat down with, which is usually only $100. But I know that I've cheesed off other people at the table for not playing "right."

"I'm sorry sir. I can't tell what you look like because your terrible personality, poor pick-up lines, and inappropriate behavior is so glaringly obvious and I forgot my loserglasses tm at home(Now Blocks Out 40% More Loser!). I'd suggest finding someone unable to raise their standards because they broke their shovel trying. Good day, sir."

There are certain things that I wish I could slap people for doing - splitting ten is one of them. But for the most part, as a dealer, I don't condone bullying from blackjack snobs on my tables. If you were playing on my table and people were hassling you for not playing "right", I'd say something, something like "Hey, it's your money, you play how your gut tells you to play."

Ugh, you should hear some of the bullshit the cocktail servers at my Casino have to put up with. Much of it alcohol driven.

I feel sorry for them a lot of the time, but they often do bring in good money in tips.

If you are winning money, you're playing right enough!

"You're not playing right" = "you won and I didn't!"

[veniteangeli]

"You're not playing right" = "you won and I didn't!"

Actually a lot of people believe that if the persons sitting before them at a table don't make the "right" decisions about whether to hit, sit, split, etc, they "ruin" the table for those at the end. As in, you hit and you get a six? "OH I WANTED THAT SIX/ I NEEDED THAT SIX/I WANTED THE DEALER TO GET THAT SIX SO SHE WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO BUST SO WE ALL WIN." Ignore them. 99% of that kind of bully, are shitty players themselves, looking to blame their misfortune on someone else's choices.

Nevermind that as often as not, they improve the luck at the end of the table. Heck, my odd playing style has resulted in the dealer busting when they otherwise would have had 21, so anyone whining about how I play can sod off to another table.

When I've played, I've been lucky and usually had a friendly bunch (give or take a few sour pusses), so if I (or anyone else) is about to do something stupid, others (including the dealer) will speak up. But it's more of an "are you Sure you want to do this?" and not "You idiot! don't do that way!" way. Sometimes I decide to damn the torpedoes full speed ahead; most of the time I'll back off. We have fun nonetheless.

All told, I don't play that often, and my budget tends to be tight when I do go, but I'm going to have fun. Last time I played, the dealer got a kick because I celebrated every time I won small on the bonus game (if you play it, and the 3 face up cards between you and the dealer match conditions like totalling 19/20/21, getting 3 7's, etc... you win on your side bet). All told, I think my blackjack playing has broken even, so I'm happy with the game.

[veniteangeli]

I'm the kind of dealer where if someone wants to split tens, or hit on seventeen, I'll "confirm that I've heard them right", with just the right tone so that anyone who is really listening to me will get the hint that it's not a good idea.

I've had tables where people have actively worked together against me! The guy at the end would say something like, "I'll go bust so you all can win" and when the hand came out the way he said, the table was buying him drinks. I gave them a round on the for GETTING THE POINT - that they were there to have fun, a couple of laughs. Not to make their fortunes and be super serious. They were a great table.

Quote from Joey (pretending to be a body builder) from Full House:

Beginner, eh? It's cool!

I dare you to say that to him next time he splits his 10's.
