Counted cards, moved around casinos on the little islands in the Caribbean. Back then, down there, all the cards went down face up, so at a full table if you took the last seat, you saw four or five hands at once. It made up for the practice of stacking three or four decks together for the dealer. Don't put up too much money, staff doesn't have to notice, and somebody who's doing well in a modest way is nice to have around, makes people think they can win too. One place did notice, and I swear they fed me a cold deck --- half a dozen straight hands I got a ten, followed by something under five, and then a ten on the hit. The message was clear, and I never went back there. Glory days a long, long time ago....

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
