I'd like to imagine Woolie trying to lab in a casino and being told to leave because he is at the Blackjack table explaining the game to no one but himself

3:00 the audience enjoys it because of 3 things. 1: Learning/experimenting the game w/ little investment ruining a personal run 2: Backseat gaming. Self explanatory. 3: Perfect background visuals for an active mind. Keeping track of the run and the future well being of the run helps keep an active mind "busy" and also relaxed at the same time.

Also I just like listening to Woolie and Reggie banter. I had this stream going while I was at work and most of it was me just listening to Woolie strategize and puzzle out hands while Reggie would randomly drop one of the funniest fucking lines I ever heard.

Fun fact: It is entirely possible to reliably win lots of money, in the long run, counting cards at a blackjack table. Anti-Fun fact: Casinos can just stop you from playing at any point they want, for any reason they want, and they can track how people play in order to detect card counting. They can also add you to their watch list and prevent you from ever playing there again, and possibly in other casinos they inform. (I know Balatro isn't blackjack. I just find that interesting.)
