    POLL: What card counting system do you use?

    I started with red7 because i was afraid of screwing up the math when converting for true. Then I read BJBB II, which went even further to clearing up the whole-for lack of better term-mystique of playing/counting/etc. I almost looked into KO, but when I found out that the BJBB author posted...

    POLL: What card counting system do you use?

    Given the ease of III, I would actually be surprised if anyone stops on I or II for more than a day!:)

    AARGGGHHH. My dog ate my homework!

    Sorry about your loss of info, but for some reason I find this story humorous!:laugh: I can just see you walking into a casino and using this excuse while asking the pit boss for a review of your sessions!!!

    Just the II, and feel free to ask any questions from it, the author (Rezney) posts here and has shown himself to be quick and friendly! And yes, there are a number of us who use his system, and it does work easily and well! Luck!

    low limit tables on the rise!

    If I didn't know you from other posts, I'd almost be insulted! I play the $3 and $5 tables right now (wonging in the occasional $10 if it offers surrender), and stick the wins in a pouch that I have, and play from it. That way I in no way chance any loss of the mortgage money! A few more months...

    holecarding strategies

    Why are you ruling out the 8? I can see ruling out the Q, because there does seem to be either a line or shadow midway down. Or is it too picky to run 8 or 9?

    low limit tables on the rise!

    I believe part of that is the difference in the tax structure. Not sure why they haven't revolted, but that could be the "Ugly American" syndrome again, the 'do it our way or you're wrong'. It's actually been a benefit for me, because before this I would play the mediocre games and be happy...

    low limit tables on the rise!

    Interesting, I was just wondering if it was the area I was in lately, or if it was everywhere. $3.00 tables (3-50) where last year were only offered on Tuesday morning, are now certain times every day of the week. Too bad the rules suck, it would have at least been a diversion....

    Wonging with Unbalanced Count

    The fact that the author is quick to answer any questions in a helpful, kind way certainly speaks volumes for the ease!

    Wonging with Unbalanced Count

    I don't trust myself mathematically, so I went with the unbalanced idea (Yes, Kiss III. Oddly enough I learned red7 first, so am comfortable with negative starting numbers, with my pivot coming at 0. Don't ask me...). What I can tell you from my experience, is that when I wong in I usually...

    Red 7 count - Good?

    But black is the absence of all color, so the red pigment adds the extra weight.:)

    Thanks, I will take this under advisement. No one has seemed to care yet, but good to know!

    How many chips do I need?

    I've been to a few indian casino's at low stakes tables that just have a roll of quarters. When they need the .50 cents (like on a red chip 3:2 BJ), they just toss out a red, two whites and two quarters. (Then, most people get upset at some point-usually because I've stood on 16 v. 10-at the...

    The NO RETREAT BJ scheme is winning

    Tongue-in-cheek. The MACHINE flew, the Wrights were just lying down. (Laying down on the job???)
