Shaming annoying players off the table

I'm with you Rick, thats the reason I switched from BJ to VP. Never regretted it.
I'm particularly fond of the "fake sneeze, flick water" approach.

When done well, the victim feels the moisture from the water you've flicked when you sneezed. They always think it's "something" else, and it's always pretty gross to them. After all, you just "wet sneezed" them.

IF you can "fake sneeze" well. Once 'learned', you can clear almost any area or individual you choose to.

I'm too lazy to search youtube, but am certain some videos and how to's can be found online. Or carry a little pepper to snort to make you sneeze. The finger flicking of water is easy and natural. Sneezing on cue the hard part.



I only ask.............are you as great full when the bad players give you a win as you are disappointed when the bad player gives you a loss?

The casinos love "bad players and their bad plays", it adds to their bottom line and pisses off the good players, who, if they are smart, will leave the table when the bad players insist on making bad plays time and again. You don't need to understand math and statistics to comprehend what I am saying as being true.

He's great full all the time.


""He's great full all the time."" LOL, too funny!
I side with Boiler on this.
One of the funnest nights I've had playing blackjack was at Encore at a table closest to the walkway to XS Nightclub. A bunch of 22-year-olds dressed for clubbing who were so hammered en route to the club they couldnt even add up their card totals. They made every wrong decision. It didn't hurt that I made a killing that night. When they finally bottomed out and left for the club, the dealer and I exchanged laughs. That was a fun night.

The old "fake sneeze, flick water" trick, huh? Has anybody ever served you up a (well)deserved knuckle sandwich?

Whew, you BJ players are a testy lot.

I guess you've never heard of the old "Fake Wet Fart, Flick Chocolate Trick." The hard part is the 'Fake Wet Fart". That can go horribly wrong.

Those of you who read my book know that I discovered a unique way to keep annoying people off the blackjack table where I am playing. Regrettably, the “Some dogs are named Talmadge” gimmick is sometimes difficult to employ in a busy casino or among serious players. I recently developed a new method that is surprisingly effective against a certain blackjack demographic.

As you know, there are many players who rarely or never offer a toke to the dealer. I have no problem with that character trait…to each their own. When the player is annoying, however, I’ve learned to use their “no-toke” stance against them.

A few weeks ago, a blackjackally challenged player at my table was making crappy decisions against basic strategy, but winning anyway. Plus, he was slow and maintained a sour demeanor. Finally, he never tipped the dealer. In my opinion, he had to go! After the guy hit a 13 against a 6, and drew an 8, I jokingly told him, “You should give the dealer a biiiigggggg tip for that pull.” He looked at me, then the dealer, but did nothing toke-wise. The dealer shrugged her shoulders at me and smiled; I tipped her a pink $2.50 chip. A couple hands later, the guy won another badly played hand when he shouldn’t have. I asked again, “What about that dealer tip?” This time, he gave me a dirty look, picked up his chips, and left the table! The dealer remarked, “He never tips.” I then watched as the player traveled around the pit and entered another game at an almost packed table. I was now playing head’s up against the dealer. I shamed the guy so badly, he left an almost empty table to play at an almost full one!

Yesterday, I used the method again on a woman who I’ve never seen toke the dealer. She moved as well. I’m onto something now…so much for Talmadge.



You must think quite a lot of yourself if you think you are the best person to decide who should, or should not play at "your" table. How others tip, bet, and, in general, spend their money is none of your business. Actually, you sound like the kind of person who should be shamed from the table. But, pretentious a-holes have become more the norm than the exception these days, so you should feel right at home.


I read Wiggy's book. He seems ok to me and someone I'd sit with at the BJ table although I rarely tip the dealers.
Rock'n Rick, I notice when a player makes an "unusual" hit causing the table to lose. Lots of folks notice this. Few of us, however, notice when the opposite happens. I do.

I've played exclusively blackjack on each of my 60 plus Vegas trips, and not once have I been upset with another players choice to hit or not to hit. In fact, when another player gets upset at such unusual play, I'll make certain to point out to the disgruntled player when the "unusual" hit creates a win. They each occur 50% of the time.

If I make a mistake I don't have to deal with other people arguing with me about
what I should or shouldn't have done, ..... name calling, and then possibly ecalating to who knows what.
I enjoy gambing too much to get thrown out or banned from a casino.
