ha, no Canceler, I think it's more that I just started the full table drills last night and had not counted cards in pairs before then. I think as I become more familiar with which cards cancel each other out and improve my deck counting times (still at 30-35 seconds) I'll get better at getting...

Well, even though it may not be the answer I was hoping for, thanks for the help guys. Looks like I have quite a bit of practicing ahead of me! Takes me like 20 seconds to get the RC on a full table right now :laugh:

*Assuming that was sarcastic and not possible* :cool: Perfect, it's only taking me one second so I should be alright. Thanks, just needed some validation. *Assuming that was serious* :cry:

Casino Verite provides a drill to practice counting a full table of cards. You can choose starting hands, full hands, and a few other options. What is a good target time to shoot for when getting the running count by glancing at the starting hands on a full table?

haha no sabre, while being able to consistently/accurately count through a deck in under 30 seconds is still something I'm working on, the preparation time is more around: 1. Becoming as proficient as possible in Basic Strategy 2. Learning to accurately size a discard tray, first by deck...

So is it safe to assume that Harrah's is the sworn enemy? :p I read that article Sagefr0g, and I've been keeping up on the casino openings in Ohio and, being a Clevelander, I hear things around town about how Mr.Gilbert (owner of the Cavs) may give Harrah's only a small stake but nothing's...

No offense taken Canceler, I'm always open to and welcome the correction of something I post that may not be entirely accurate, and you're right, this game can be rewarding in the short run as well as the long run! :)

If you are playing 2-3 times a year it may be worth it to just stick with Basic Strategy and expect to come out a bit behind (or be pleasantly surprised to come out ahead) after playing for 10 hours with the house edge being around .31% - .57% depending on the decks/rules in play. The reason I...

For about three/four months now I've been eating up every bit of BlackJack advice on these boards that I can. I've also adhered to the advice of the members and read through three books that they had recommended (including two read thorughs of Blackbelt in Blackjack, great read!), purchased and...

Welcome Jozsef! I'm new to the forums myself and I can say that they're full of good info. Good to hear you've had a good run so far with 2K over 4 trips. Not bad at all! There are weekly "newbie" chats that "iCountNTrack" hosts here every Wednesday at 9. I found it to be a great place to...

I'll start putting some time into Zen since I am not banking on finding many pitch games out there that are $5 and $10 minimum games. So I'll mostly be limited to the off-hours 6-deck shoe games when starting out. Zen sounds to be the best for this. Thanks for the input, and I'll be in that...

So the Uston APC method was mostly there to sell books and get people interested in counting as opposed to actually seeing use? Makes sense because it worked on me. Dedicated most of the previous few months to learning it so I'm glad I came here to get some insight on it before going any...

Thanks for the response QFIT. Is the lack of individuals using the Uston APC method mostly due to it's complexity, thus making it difficult to implement in a casino environment while maintaining the act of an average player? I was doing a little more research and came accross the Wong Halves...

About two months ago I picked up the book "Play BlackJack like the Pros" by John Bukofsky. The book has left me with some questions though that I'm hoping some of the seasoned players on here could help me out with... The book indicates that Uston APC is the most advanced card counting...
