After many responses and PM's I've decided my next technique to learn will be ace tracking. I have stumbled across a DVD that has been mentioned on this forum which is Semyon Dukaches BJS Advanced Techniques. I've also found the DVD for only $30 as opposed to the $300 it runs for on his site. Does this seem to be a sound investemnt to learn ace tracking or is there a better source to go after first?

Don't.

Get a deck of cards, put the aces on top of the deuces (when face up.) Riffle the cards. Now look where the aces are relative to the deuces. Riffle again, repeat your examination. You now know how to predict aces.

That is not what I was referring to. Keycarding Aces at 2D is
fairly straightforward and doesn't require mnemonic devices. zg

it wasnt just you, I've had quite a bit of responses and after looking at them, sequencing seemed to be most accurate. Could you explain how the keycarding Aces you are suggesting works? Then I will have a better understanding between the 2.

Described in this trip report - Excerpts from Barfarkel's Spring Trip Report...

Basically you note the card scooped behind the discard Ace, sitting at 1st base, and when the keycard
comes out near the end of the round you bet two hands large in hopes of catching the Ace. zg

Oh, i see how that works now. What kind of shuffle should i look for to keep the key cards close to the ace?
Most shuffles don't move the keycard far. The trouble with shoes is that
there are 6-8 identical cards that could be the key. In 2D its 50-50. zg

Good advice, and further make statistics how many gaps between the deuces
and the target card ( ace ).
Unfortunately the dealers in the real world don't put always the deuces on
the tops of the aces ( you will hardly find any casino ).

So, it's the main problem to remember at least the 2 cards on top of the aces.

Books of Domonic O' Brien or the Video of Ben Bridmore on U Tube are sources.

My two cents : very often there are an ace and another card on top of
an ace , in this way you only have to remember one card.
