Any BlackJack Players in Northern California?

[AwesomeOpportunities]

I would like to find 4-5 fellow BlackJack Players in Northern California who are serious and interested in forming a group to practice. I am beginning Card Counting, and think that I need to practice 10,000 hands to get proficient on Counting as well as Basic Strategy.
A small group of serious players could meet frequently (rotate homes or whatever) to practice together. Serious practice, maybe 4 nights a week...

"Practicing" at the casino only means losing money... Let's practice together to improve all of our skills !!

Respond to this thread if interested. I am in the East Bay ..

Do you know you can practice for free? There are blackjack simulators for free on the Internet, and I believe there are even free (or very cheap) simulators which will tell you when you make a mistake.

Check out this sticky thread in the Card Counting forum: http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showthread.php?t=697

Yep, thanks. I use the simulators. They are helpful. Still looking for a group of people for "live" practice...
