my last post would somewhat reference http://www.blackjackincolor.com/blackjackvariance1.htm but with the idea of capitalizing more on the fluctuations vs. going after the longer 1,000,000 hands success.

After some more playing I think I can express my thought on TC a little more clearly with an analogy... Statistically, over the long haul one would likely calculate the best long term return in the stock market by buying an index fund and holding it for a long time. But with some effort...

Thanks Frog! Interesting to ponder... -BD99

sagefr0g, thanks for the link. Some very useful info there but it doesn't quite address my question on localized variance. Basically I see emperically that a high + count (ignoring TC) will quickly reset to 0 or near zero long before the end of a 6-deck game. So if this is true wouldn't one...

Is TC counted too strongly? I have a question on the TC. It seems to me, with my limited experience, that variations in count are more localized than a TC number would imply. In other words, if I get a +10 count in the early portion of a 6 card deck I would not expect to wait until the end...
