1 on 1 good or bad?

[laser3003]

Is it good or bad to play 1 on 1 with a dealer?
I often see people unwilling to sit at an empty table.
So does it matter?

Does not matter...except that you can play more hands per hour. Which is great if you are trying to make money :D

Personally, I prefer heads-up. Especially with a double deck or single deck game. I don't particularly like to go heads up with a multideck shoe. I do not usually enjoy all the theatrics that occur at a full table low minimum shoe game. When every player calls upon whatever gods they are familiar with to give them a sign as to whether to hit a 16 against a face, well, it takes forever! But it can be entertaining <LOL>

if you're an AP and are playing to advantages, it's the best for you, you can keep exact track of the count and all the cards are going to just two people, so less variance, plus you can get in many many hands per hour, which means more money for you.

Now, if you're a BS player, then technically more hands would be bad, because your expectation is negative, so you would lose money faster.

I would much rather play heads up then with other people at the table. If I'm betting bigs hands I will ask anyone that walks up to wait until the end of the shoe.

During the last 4 nights I went to my local casino, not in Vegas, played at $25 min table with a 6 deck shoe. Heads up play. My average bet was $100. My bankroll was $400. I won $1000, $1200, $1000, and another $1000. My time at the casino was 15 minutes. 35 minute drive each way. $500 an hour is not bad.

Where is this casino? I gotta go to this place...even if it costs me 500 bucks to fly there :D

Chumash Casino. It's 3 hours north of L.A..

I came in near the end of the first shoe last night. I immediatly counted up to 12 and pushed my bet up. The end of the deck was all 9's and 10's. I had 3 blackjacks. I lost 2 out of 20 hands. I didn't hit a 15. The next card was a 7 anyway. The other hand I didn't hit was a 16. Next card was a 10.

I am making my airplane reservations now! I only hope that I might hit shoe like that at some point in my lifetime

I really like playing 1 on 1. I won 700, 600, and 1100 the last 3 times I went. I was there for long periods of time all 3 times, but I made most of the money either 1 on 1 or 2 on 1. I just beared with it and tried to stay even when the tables are full. it's tough to play an empty table here unless it's between 4 and 9 AM.

Does anybody play mulitple spots. A friend told me that when playing one on one and things were not going well, try playing two spots to mix up the card flow and then drop back down to one spot again. Does this make since to anyone?
