Thank you In my rush ti leave for Reno tomorrow, I didn't look all the way to the end. After all, there's only 2 pages I care about. I thought! ls=late surrended 6=6card charlie Than you all for helping the feeble minded, anxiety ridden procrastinator

I bought my first copy of CBJN and some of the abbreviations in the "comments (#10) Column baffle me. 1. What does "Is, 6" following h17 mean? (Alamo Reno) 2. What does "nms" mean following h17? Terrible's Rail City Sparks I am assuming that h17 means the dealer hits a soft 17. Thank you.

Post play report Lakeside is fun. We didn't win, but didn't lose much. My wife wanted to try Harrah's, so we played 15 minutes and lost $160. Lakeside good, friendly and real. Harrah's phoney and jip.

Advice for a new player If all the players that didn't know what they were doing left the tables, the casinoes would be very empty.

We're not card counters, play basic strategy with tweaks to match house rules as shown on this site. It sounds like we'll stay at Harrah's (its paid for) and walk over to the Lake Club, and get back to reno ASAP! Thank you both for the advice. Is there more to know about BJ in Tahoe?

We plan to stay at Harrah's in Tahoe. Where is the best closest place to play blackjack?

In order of preference (for Blackjack), the following reviews are provided. We have played and stayed at all except Three Rivers where there are no guest rooms. Nice rooms, friendly staff, fun play at Seven Feathers Casino in Canyonville, OR, just of I-5. They have a non-smoking room with 2...

Boomtown BJ Bob, Yes, the "suite" was offerred before the meal. As you can understand, food was not a priority for me then, nor for the next two days.

Boomtown Bye Bye I suspect that we suffered at Boomtown because we DON'T count (cards). We simply play basic strategy based on the ev we find here modifying our game to meet the house rules and number of decks. We seem to benefit more from double downs and splits than from Blackjacks. We have...

Boomtown Sucks! My wife and I stayed at Boomtown on 3/2/2007. The rooms are dark and dingy with tiny bath and a hard bed. We lost $140 playing $5 SD in 3 hours and saw no one at any of the four tables we played winning. There were lots of angry players. Last, but not least, I ate their seafood...

Anyone experience the Casino at Kaneeta on the Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon? Anyone win at Blackjack there?

Single deck question In SD play, shouldn't the count (Hi-Lo) vary around zero? Shouldn't the count restart at zero with each new deck, no matter waht the running count is anyway? Thanks, Cliph

Tounament BJ Strategy I have been invited to my first ever BJ tournament and have been practicing BS and card counting daily. How can I learn tournament strategies for playing and betting? How do they differ from basic strategy in regular (casino) play? Thanks, Cliph
