How
much is enough?
--
Dear Mark,
I work as a dealer on an Indian reservation in
northern Michigan. One of the most common mistakes
I see is players getting ahead, then giving all
their winnings back to the casino. Why do you
think so many players are boneheads? Anonymous

I was approached by a pit boss asking if there
was anything he could do for me. "Sure,"

my action for a comp? Stanley K... more>>
