Turtle Creek near Traverse City, MI.

Tall, male dealer named Ken working late swing/grave. When he looks under tens, he lifts the card to the point where you can sometimes get a glimpse even sitting in the middle of the table.

Overall this game is decent -- 1 pass stepladder, 2 piles, 30 card grabs, penetration is about 1.2/6. 12 tables, limits 2-500, or 25-1000 in the 'high stakes' room. Pit is relatively clueless, although I was losing...

(SF) another book recommendation

more importantly, you should get a copy of Read the Dealer by Steve Forte.

the opportunities for tell-play are fast disappearing in the US. if you have access to such a game you really should learn to exploit it. assuming you can do it well, reading dealer tells can be much more profitable than card counting.

Sounds like a very nice game. What are the rules? Another thing... if they peek under tens and aces, I HIGHLY recommend reading Wong's Basic Blackjack. The book will teach anyone how to play tells in blackjack. It's very good. Keep those reports coming!!
