Palms is banning all poker players from blackjack games

[Dan Druff]

I heard Grinder got banned from their blackjack games for being a poker player.

I thought this was just the result of an idiot pit boss assuming that, because Grinder was a good poker player, he had to be an advantage blackjack player, too.

Banning any Mizrachi from any pit game is a very



But it looks like they really are banning all poker players.

Lisa Parsons, a relatively small-time poker pro, was banned from the Palms blackjack game tonight simply for being a poker player.

Unbelievable.

Someone needs to have a talk with the management of the Palms and make them realize that they WANT most poker players in their blackjack game, and that they just need to boot the math nerds. Everyone else would be hugely profitable for them.

Morons.

That may be true but I heard Adrienne Maloof (one of the Real insufferable Wives of Beverly Hills) sent a private jet so Stevie Wonder could play high stakes blackjack at the Palms.

Obviously a terrible decision. Poker players are the biggest breed of degenerates imaginable. Let em ban poker players tho. More money stays in the poker economy. I wish all casinos would do this.

Do not understand this decision.

Seriously that might be the most fucking retarded thing I've ever heard.

Casinos should want to spread poker in hopes those players that win shoot it off in pit games like most will do because of their gambling habits and the edge the casino has.

Palms must have a bunch of idiots in charge to think because someone wins at poker they will win at blackjack / pit games when they should be opening those players to the table and shaking their hand as they sit down unless they give them a reason over time not to (a bj card counter for example).

They call them leaks for a reason. Doh!
