I didn't follow the Don Johnson case in detail. There was chatter at the time on BJ websites of course, so I knew about it somewhat. I was not aware that James Grosjean was involved in any way. I had never heard that. So, if he was, which appears to be the case, I can almost guarantee, Johnson was applying some sort of advantage play technique.

Probably not card counting though. We know how James feels about card counters and card counting…."salamanders". On top of that, I can also guarantee Atlantic City casinos involved were watching a player betting $100,000 a hand checking for card counting. Hey I played Atlantic City the first 5 and a half years of my career, so I know they would be looking for that from a player of this size stakes. Maybe Ace sequencing, or hole carding or something with a bigger advantage. That seems more like Grosjean's style. And of course he would couple that with the rebate, which provides a substantial advantage despite that Alan and some of the others don't seem to understand how or why.
