Well timed, this article. I just got back from a trip to Vegas. I kno intrinsically that my chances of winning from one deal to another at a blackjack table are equal (card counting notwithstanding). And yet I can&#x27;t deny that there were times when I was &quot;hot.&quot; Of course you&#x27;ll occasionally win a few times in a row, but it seemed to change with dealers and new shuffles.<p>About the only thing I could attribute it to was my own change of pace and self awareness. If I was hot, I might hit out of confidence without second guessing myself. Incidentally, this is what the dealer will also do, only they do it under the guise of requirement.
