entry" tables. I see it as a player protection .. period. I have no problem
accepting Zender's belief that the rule has no impact on card counters,
but why Zender would want to get rid of the mid-shoe entry bar mystifies
me. Unless he is acting as an advisor to the house on how to increase its
hold.
I am sure I am not the only person who occasionally finds him or herself at
a table populated by a group that has been playing together for a number of
shoes, developed a rhythm and comeraderie, and to its delight finds itself
in the middle of a warm or hot shoe ... when all of a sudden some rube plops
down and makes an outlandish bet or play that effectively the tables' luck.
It should be a matter of common courtesy. If I see a seat at table that I
want to join, I wait until the next shoe to start playing....unless invited
to join by those already in the game.
