I traveled to Roland,OK to visit the newest Cherokee Casino. I thought I had found Casino Heaven. If you “doubled down” it was on the house and you got paid in real chips if you won. WOW! If you split pairs on anything other than a pair of ten count cards, it was on the house. DOUBLE WOW !! How could it get any better? I won and left. In a few days I went back. I had the opportunity to double down on an eleven against a Dealer 2 so I took the free double down and pulled a Jack for “21”. The Dealer popped up her hole card (a ten count) took a hit and pulled another “10” cont card for “22”. I was happy until she gave me that double pat on the table. I said “Hey, you busted”. She pointed to the table where it was stenciled “A Dealer 22 is a push”. So, no matter what you have on the table that is still alive, it is all a push on a Dealer 22. That was my last trip.
It was nice to talk to you in Vegas. It's starting to look like flat betting will be the only way to stay in the game. You were a man ahead of his time.
