I guess if the regulars saw it, and all started playing optimally, it’d be a problem. The calculator showed all the players hands face-up, like it’s played at Barona, and showed you the exact value of your hand, and the best decision (3x, 1x, or fold). Well, they were certainly reading this blog, and the day I posted the Mississippi Stud calculator (all 6 hands seen), they came by and nicely told me I couldn’t play tables games anymore. But I eventually got the vibe that they were kind of watching me. So when they talked to me, I thought they were just stopping by to talk shop (they work in a casino, I live in a casino). I mean I don’t even take my $5 action seriously. When they first came by to talk to me, I didn’t think they’d worry about a $5 player like me.
Some of you may have seen this coming, and I probably should have too, especially after the multiple private warnings from their director of table games.
Well, I finally got barred from table games at my local Barona Casino.
