I just got back from Tunica. Some of you may want to get down there some day. There are lots of SD and DD games, and more counters than you can shake a stick at. This past weekend, I ran in to five other counters; three weeks ago there were twelve in town that I know of. Some casinos, GoldStrike being the prime example, have already started changing their rules in response to the hordes of advantage players. GS used to offer DAS on the SD games, but recently removed it and reduced pen from strict rule-of-six to 50%. Several places have DD games with DAS and 65% or better pen. Comps are so easy to get here that a decent player could live for free on green action. Spreads seem to be tolerated up to about $300, and some of the folks I've talked to claim to get by with much bigger. Some casinos have shoe games with 1-1.5 decks cut off, but I haven't found anything trackable since last fall. If anyone wants to go down to Tunica, let me know and I may be able to meet you there. I know Raptor used to go every week, but I haven't seen him lately; are you out there, Raptor? PV
