Been poking around a few casinos lately and I keep running into the same rubbish - flashy live tables, side bets all over the felt, then you check the actual rules and it's 6:5, no surrender, dealer hits soft 17... yeah nah.
I still don't mind a proper session if the game's worth it. Doesn't have to be fancy, just give me solid rules, a clean stream, and limits that aren't completely cooked. Playing from Aus, I care about the boring stuff a lot more these days too - how stable the table is at night, whether you can actually grab a seat, and if the cashier drags its feet when you finally pull money out.
What are you lot actually playing now? Live dealer only, or do you still jump on the RNG versions for a quick hit? Keen to hear which providers or casinos have been decent for you lately, and what rules make you bin a table straight away. For me, if it's 6:5 and loaded with gimmick side bets I'm gone in about 10 seconds.
