    One of the reason I stop playing is cuz the casino put the kibosh on my style. Joints up here can't give a cat the gavel just for winnin well and regular but they can take counters measure to make playin difficult. One of the ting my local did was to pretty much no longer allow any free hand and since I often found my self alone at a table and they wouldn/t deal card without any wager on the layouts. So am wonderin if any joints offer lotsa free hand. I know a coupla joint in the las Vegas offer pretty much unlimited free hand but they seem to be the rarities, hey hey.

    Do you play online now?

    I have not seen any joint(where I play) offer free hand.
    Some have even stopped offering free pens and scorecards.

    Yes casino always move the goal posts. Here in the lucky country skippy township casino they did away with free hands years ago, same with pens and score cards although upstairs in medium high roller room 3 x free hands are available after a bought bet . As this event changes came in many many punters screamed their heads off , most where unable to adapt as they were targeting betters and could not play on a table on their own. Huge impact on many of us.

    So you have to adapt to the new rules, it is the mark of a true professional, imho, if you can adjust and triumph regardless of what they do ( casino)

    I understand that the stadium style of play is considered low brow or losers table in many people opinion as some people have remarked to me at the casino plus some posters here this forum have posted. For mine I don’t really care what they say or post as it is a revenue stream for me , sure not glamorous but I take the free hands amd the profit.

    So soxfan do you have access to a stadium style set up at your casino? If you do perhaps you may want to check it out, I assume the maximum bet is probably $1000 should be a doable range for your flat betting.

    If no stadium , then perhaps you need to increase your own bet unit and then run a secondary bankroll and bet on ties to pull the hands out of the shoe, on a $25 min tie bet you should need a tie bankroll of about $1250 min per shoe. One would assume you would jag a few ties here and there. Unfortunately it’s the cost of doing business it’s either that above suggested, or change you strategy and spend another few years getting it right only for the casino to change the rules again just as you decided to play again, it happens.
    Cheers

    CSM made Blackjack unplayable.
    If the casinos do it to all the Baccarat tables too, I will leave.
    Right now, only the low limit tables are using CSM.
