New Strategy Trainer available

[KenSmith]

I got an email from someone who recently launched a new site for blackjack strategy practice. My impression after a quick look is that it appears quite useful. You guys try it out and let me know what you think. It should probably be added into the free resources list.

Here's the site:

It's excellent for those who want to practice only a certain type of hand, such as splits or soft hands, since you can customize it to give you exactly the hands you want.

Counting is of no value against this one.

The Options button doesn't do anything except clear the screen, but maybe that part is still under construction.

When I went to add it to my favorites,it wouldn't let me right click it.

Thanks Ken...excellent site. This is a perfect site for new blackjack players playing the game for the first time in West Virginia.

You should be able to add it to favorites from the browser menu. I'm guessing that you right-clicked inside the Java applet which didn't work.

I like that I can use the key board rather than the mouse. Nice feature.

Handy trainer there.
I do like that you can easily choose the hands that you need practice on such as pairs or soft doubles.
Very useful to set it to Challenge for practice on the ones that are harder for beginners to play correctly.

Wow, it's really thorough and customizable. Only real gripe is that it maxed out my screen's 1280 resolution. Nice learning tool. And I did 15/15 correct! I'm unstoppable!

But you know what? I kind of like the flash trainer on this site. Not as good of a learning tool, but a fairly slick presentation, it looks more like a video game. It's a better "gateway" drug into more serious study.

Wrong again. With Full mode (of course!) it does shuffle near the end of the shoe, so counting would presumably work against it.

If you haven't been there recently, it's changed! Some of our comments are quoted there as reviews. We're famous!!

I second that.
This site is only for basic strategy though? Can it also be used for counting?
