I’ve played several times over the past couple of months, joined by Maureen on one of the latest occassions. We had a blast, despite npt having a good day at the tables.
Note to the young kid (allowed to play at 18 at the tribal casino we were in) playing – if you have to think about whether or not to hit a 20, you need to learn a little more about the game.
