Why hit 12 vs 3 (dealer)?
Whenever the "stigma" of Job gets associated with any task I seem to be doing, it always seems to become work, Thus, removing any "fun" that might have been involved. Maybe just a superstition, but, why ruin a good thing? mh …

Trip Report - backed off
You're obviously a very good counter to be using that spread in a 6 deck shoe, If you're going to play for such a long time why not throw in a blatantly foolish play once in a while to mix them up a little and keep the staff guessing? Mike

pushed back, now what?
***So I was spreading from $25 to $250 to sitting out a hand. In hindsight painfully obvious.*** I guess that would raise an eyebrow.
