This is what you get from ploppies when you hit A,7 vs 10!

I would say DD on a breaking hand created that scene. IMO, DD on a breaking hand pisses people off more than splitting 10’s in BJ.

DD on a breaking hand is probably the best camouflage play in my arsenal back in the days ... I had a dealer at Boomtown in Verdi blow a fuse and started cursing me out for being a stupid BJ player. Pit critter had to escort dealer off the pit. I played their 1D unmolested for next hour. This was a joint that sweats $25 bets.

The TC was in minus territory and I was keeping side counts so the actual risk of busting was a lot lower than vs non-counting.

Tags were 2 - 7 is +1, 10 is -1, and you kept separate side count for the Ace and for the 8 & 9. IC is very high. Great count for 1D. A lot of people don’t like the count because it’s massively unbalanced, especially when we have reKO today.

Yeah I dont know exactly what caused it. But since it's fairly common play and people get pissed off over it, I thought it would be funny as the thread title.

How about splitting 2's?
