Saw a card counter at the Casino the other night

Thats why I stopped playing awhile ago, too many times dealers were killing one and 2 deck shoes after 2-5 hands played with plenty of cards available. I have talked to them about it many times, some would ignore it or play dumb and some said yes I can do that anytime after a certain amount of hands. It did not happen everytime but it happened more often than not. Higher stake tables had sharper dealers in my opinion and it was just frustrating to count and not play or have your play limited with a decent + count in your favor.

sharky, do you think the dealers are/were counting and killing the shoes b/c the count was in the player's favor or just blindly doing so b/c they didn't want to go deep since players were likely to be counting and they wanted to minimize opportunities?

speaking of blackjack....had a friendly dealer give me a push on a losing hand yesterday downtown on freemont street...soft 19 vs her 20 and she just gave me a tap-tap and kept on going....I had a bet out for her on that hand and had been periodically been giving her some tip love as I was doing ok...

other than the crowd, downtown bj is so much better than most other places....one guy at my table realized after playing (terribly) for about 20 mins that the dealer was taking cards or standing based on a set of rules vs. based on what everyone at the table had.....he was in for a long week (from Ontario, Canada)...

Theft.
