thank you guys for your replies i've read ken ustons million dollar blackjacks, but skipped much of the "technical" part of the book, cause it's mostly single deck oriented, but i'll read that too ok, i'll get wong's book and read it ;)

DAMN! You really made me laugh now, bwahahaha:laugh:

i can count down one deck in about 20 secs (personal record) but this is only at lab conditions lol:grin:
