Strange blackjack play experience
I know there is not much appetite on this forum for someone sharing their real experiences, but I am going to do so anyway.
Last night, or I guess early this morning, finishing up my holiday weekend play, I was dealt a pair of aces, which I spit as usual and received an ace on each ace. This occurs more often than you would think as anyone that plays a reasonable amount of blackjack knows. There also may be some selective memory at play as you probably remember split aces each drawing another ace, more than if they drew a 2 or 3 or some other bad card.
There was still hope for my two max bet hands totaling 2 (lol) as the dealer had a 6 up, but he didn't break. Nothing unusual so far.
So 4 rounds later (might have been 5 but I think 4), same shoe, still max bet out, I am dealt....a pair of aces. :rolleyes: I throw my hands up making a fuss, as I do for show, but in reality, happy to have a pair of aces with max bet out. You are probably a step ahead of me now and figuring that I once again drew another ace to each of the split aces. THAT is where we are getting into weirdville. :( Any of you math guys want to figure the odds of this occurring twice within 4 rounds?
Finishing the story, the dealer had a 9 up this time, which seemed even more dire, turned over a 7 and then broke. I have been playing this game a long time, but every once in a while I still see something new (to me) and find myself mumbling "hum".
