Anyone

My first post, Just want to say hello all first off!

Well let me start by first saying that I have been practicing well before I had ever seen the previews of the new movie. With that being said I have just started currently shopping on the weekends and have noticed that first base is more to my likings than any other seat. How do the vets feel about that hypothesis? Also how many times is too many times a week? In a fairly sized casino. Thanks all for input...

I play first base as often as possible.
Are you playing with any sort of advantage right now? If you aren't,then you have no worries.98% of casinos won't bother a low roller even if you are playing with a small advantage.

Third base is a bit better in pitch games. See http://www.blackjackincolor.com/penetration10.htm

First base is high on my list as well. Third base doesn't bother me either, but I'd take either over in the middle somewhere.

good luck

I practice the hi lo count..keep up very well, and have basic stategy etched in my memory...although i deviate from it according the count..dealers look at me funny but oh well...I'm still sticking to 10$ tables betting 10-50..going great so far started with 200 and I am up to 900 for this weekend, begginers luck I am contributing to some of it. 6d,DAS,S17,75-90% penetration depending on dealers..

I really would like to thank you all at this board for the knowledge that I have gained over the past 90 days. I have been studying my but off and now I think I am getting the hang of it.. I would wish you all luck but instead I wish you the best skill.

Thanks for the info..Please do not laugh but I don't know indices yet and am on a daily hunt every day to gain more knowledge of them.

After playing blackjack for, oh forget how long, I have made the following scientific discovery on the advantages of playing the corner positions on nearly every blackjack table.
1. You have more room for your drink, chips and any other garbage they will let you have on the tables!

2. If it also is a corner table and you are on the outside corner, you will also have more stretch and leg room.

So I go for advantage and want a corner spot.

(p.s. some hole cards can be read from first, very very often you are talking about mid table area and then a sacrifice may need to be made for money over comfort.

I know, I know thats why I said please don't laugh...It just seems like common sense sometimes, although I know that knowing indices is a must. It's just a b**ch trying to learn them

Ouch, careful, just guessing at seemingly reasonable indices may lead to serious play errors (like standing on 14 v 10)
