VERY often. not too many players bet high stakes at my place cause the limits are on the lower side, but a couple of weeks ago had a guy on blackjack who was up 500$. he said ‘one more hand’ — bet two hundred bucks each on two hands. hand one has a split and both were doubles. hand two is also double, so he now has a total of 1000$ on the table. i pulled a 21 off a 6 upcard and he lost all of it.

tbh— sometimes i forget that. i’ll catch myself accidentally putting my hands under the table for a second to adjust my belt or something and then think “oh shit, i hope i dont give out a massive hand this next deal or else surveillance is gonna see that” but of course i always remain honest when i make mistakes

i’d say so, yes. because in poker there’s no fixed advantage. every other game the house always has the edge.

i ALWAYS want the players to win, not just because players are more likely to tip if they win, but because it’s never fun to see people loose money (expect if they’re a complete asshole). when people win it boosts morale and makes the dealing experience much better because someone you feel like you’re playing with them if that makes sense.

i’m not a huge gambler because i just don’t see the long term value it in, i’d rather invest in other forms of entertainment.

and the whole clapping thing is kinda just an outro i think, like a “go get em!” hype thing.

and when it comes to math quickly, it’s because we do it all day everyday. but don’t get me wrong, there are still plenty of times i take a couple of seconds to double check my math on strange bets lol.

this is because even playing 100% perfect basic strategy, the house still has a small edge. but counting cards AND playing perfect strategy gives the player a small edge. and no haha, nobody has ever gotten kneecapped
