The blackjack dealer has a 5 showing, and White-Ra has a 15.

I almost never play blackjack so I don't know what I'm doing and the dealer is actually telling us what we should do trying to help us (pretty common at low stakes blackjack).

In general White-Ra should always stay when he has 15 and the dealer has a 5 showing because the likely hood of the dealer busting is high.

White-Ra taps the table "HIT ME" in his unforgettable White-Ra accent.

Dealer is like "??? No no you should stay are you sure?"

I'm like "STAY STAY STAY DON'T HIT"

"HIT ME" and he taps the table again insistently like 5 times.

White-Ra gets a 5 giving him 20. I stay on 14.

Dealers cards run out a Queen and then a 4 giving her 19.

White-Ra turns his head to me, smiles, winks with his left eye, then says "SPECIAL TACTICS!"

I couldn't stop saying "SPECIAL TACTICS" the rest of the night.

Her stream is the only non-featured one I watch on a regular basis. Basically just because she is somewhat hot/cute and always wearing a tank top.

Non-featured streamer on TL.
High-ish diamond protoss.
She's cute-ish and canadian.

Watched her play a bit, she's ok. Nothing special about her play though. She seems to have a good personality though.

Speaking of chick streamers, I found this one a few weeks ago:http://www.twitch.tv/aurora7. She's not as cute as ailuj, but she is a high master zerg that regularly gets evenly matched with and beats GM players.

Do you guys all play with health status bars on?

I tried it for a second but it was pretty weird so I switched back, however I'm thinking it's something I need to keep on and just get used to.

See it like this. You start at lowstakes instead of midstakes and now you grind your way through to find the level where you actually are instead of starting at high stakes and then having to move down because you get owned
