Tip of the Spear

As a belated birthday gift my mother took me to Atlantic City yesterday for a day of fun in the casino. Although I have been to many casinos and AC once as a child, this was my first trip to an AC casino while of gambling age.

The good for starters:
I definitely recommend the lunch buffet at Wild West Virginia City; it was excellent.

The bad:
Didn't win a dime, in fact lost a few. I was playing a bunch of stuff I normally wouldn't play so I could play with mom and Aunt Jojo. This kept my Black Jack time from the normal 3+hrs to under an hour.

The ugly:
So I am at a 10 dollar Black Jack table sitting next to a 40something guy who is blowing smoke in my face, when a young couple sits down next to me. They start playing a typical style of play for a new players - never bust regardless of the dealers cards. I personally have no problem with a person playing their Black Jack however they want, its their money, and I am playing at a 10 dollar table. The 40something guy didn't it see it that way and started dropping the f-bomb on the couple multiple times. I'd had enough of his mouth (I found out today after having left that he was f-bombing my mom the entire time we were there and she didn't mention it) and left the table. I did notice that as I was leaving they upped the minimum to 15 dollars. Next we switched casinos, mostly for the Wild West Virginia City buffet but we wanted a change of scenery. After lunch I saw that there was one 10 Black Jack table in casino and this same 40something guy was at this new table. So, to sum up, this guy is on the strip searching for the cheapest Black Jack tables and then cursing and the newbies when they don't play "by the book". If this guy wants to play with "better playing" company he ought to move up to a 25 dollar table, and leave the newbs and people who don't mind playing with them the lower limit tables. Just my opinion though.
