Ok, so I'm new at this. Practicing on CV, counting down decks, and then hitting the nearest casino, Potowatomi, in Milwaukee, to see how things are shaping up in real time. I had played at a couple of crowded $10 tables that were pretty uninspiring (and difficult to count) and had the same amount I started with.
Then I passed the $25, hand thrown, 2 deck tables. I asked the guy, "What's the difference between your table and the others?" He said only double on hard 10 & 11. No tables at the casino offer surrender.
I said, "What the hell!" I quickly doubled my stake at his table, tipped him, had my victory drink, and left.
My question is this: Is giving up multiple chances to double in exchange for 2 decks (that are easy to count) a good tradeoff?
