But isn't that how it starts out for those who make it long term? Doesn't it take a little early luck to stay in the game and build up?

I wish I made less than 0% mistakes! ;)

Of course. Thanks!

Plan on visiting soon and wouldn't mind experiencing someplace new. Anybody know of anything?

So I figured I'd post here to increase the chances of being able to receive a PM one day! Anybody know the EV of this play?

Yeah, I just prefer conversations to research. That whole silly "community" thing. We all have to have something in common around here, no? It makes sense to be a bit more conservative at your local playground to me. Does anybody play different ways in different places? Also, I never...

If it is ok with the crowd, I'd like to periodically throw a topic out there to see how different people approach it. Maybe we can talk about the pros and cons of our techniques and get some insight into what is out there. I'll start with the topic of Spread. What spread do you use and at...

I don't think it is the same game. If you can manage to hit to 21, is that a push with a dealer BJ? If so, it is a different game. Under regular rules you would have lost that hand with the early dealer check.

Next month I will be taking a trip to LV for a few days. I have been there before and have played a little BJ - just with a general knowledge of BS. I have never considered myself a serious player. Until now. This time, I am stronger in BS, but inexperienced with counting and more advanced...

Are there any good practice simulators out there for BS, counting, indices, etc? I know there are some out there but am having a hard time finding good ones that combine various aspects of counting.

Seriously? How in the world do you make this one happen?

Hello AP BJ world! I have had the pleasure of being a lurker off and on here for some time. I have learned a lot by sitting back and shutting up and I want to thank you all for being so free with your conversation and information. I have a long way to go, especially with the lingo (EC...
