I'd be interested in this, too. If you can't get an answer here, you might try joining Stanford Wong's Green Chip--board because if I'm not mistaken, Don Schlesinger posts there. A.L.F.

I went back and read page 97 and I see what you're saying (about the mention of TC +3 vs. +2 in Standford Wong's sim) and now I'm confused. I always thought Ian Andersen only used TC +2 as the determining factor of when to raise his bets--and that the only determining factor of how he got to...

Sorry guys, I guess this one got lost in the shuffle--so can I trouble you all once more and re-ask these questions from my earlier post please? I'm guessing there's really no need to stay with one-hour sessions right now (while I'm practicing on Red with either a flat bet or tiny spread)...

Having never backcounted, how long can I stand behind this table till they start to wonder about me? Thanks again, A.L.F.

Back To The Tables Well, here's the plan I've formulated (thanks to you all): looks like after on-going distraction-laden practice drills, it'll be back the lowest Red tables I can find for the next year or so. Distance only makes this possible about 3 non-travel playing days per month, so...

Thanks to everyone for all the truly inspirational and excellent advice thus far. What a community!

I can count 5 out of 5 decks in a row flawlessly at 25 seconds each. I've been practicing on CVBJ non-stop for 6 months. I know KO Full in my sleep...but when the chips hit the felt in the real world for the first time, I kept losing the count. I don't get it: I was pretty good in the...

Greetings, Just got my first CBJN and had a question about a symbol from the "legend" (or key to rules): namely "DA" or "double down on any two or more cards". In going through my CBJN, I've noticed I haven't seen barely any casinos offering "DA", so do I have this right: If I don't see...

Thanks QFit, 1:12 was exactly was I was looking for. Best regards, Al F.

Greetings, Wondering if someone could please tell me the difference in expectation between reKO & KO Full for a 6D S17 DAS RSA game? (The comparison graphs at Qfit only compare reKO to KO Preferred.) Thank you, Al F.

I couldn't have said it any better. Why change a good thing? Why conform? Al F.

Let's see...he was in his 30s when he went on The Merv Griffin Show in the 70s with Ken Uston in his infamous Hollywood disguise that transformed "a young man of about 30 to a close replica of Kentucky Fried Chicken's Colonel Sanders." So that would make him about 60-65ish, maybe 70 tops...

You won't believe this: I bought the K-O specific software from http://www.koblackjack.com/ (Archive copy) about a month ago. On the site, they say their product includes "unlimited e-mail support for answering technical or blackjack strategy questions". (In fact, there are two links on the...

Seasons Greetings, In re-reading Burning The Tables In Las Vegas, I noted on page 254 that in 1999 IA said "It wasn't until I posted an inquiry on the bj21.com website that..." With that said, wondering does he currently post on bj21.com--or any other site--under any known username and is...
