High-Low Pick-Up ( blackjack)


The way the dealer picks up the players' or his cards from the table, is rigidly set down by each casino.
"High-low pickup" is when the dealer, while pretending to follow house rules, picks up in separate slugs
(small amount of cards) a pack of high cards (like face cards) and low cards, and then proceeds
to control these slugs in the shuffle for a certain purpose (ie dealing high cards to a confederate
at the table, dealing himself stiff hands etc).
