Even a theoretical "perfect" counting strategy would offer minimal gains over level 2 systems. I think your acute memory abilities would be put to MUCH better use with elaborate ace sequencing / key carding.

edit: nvm I figured it out

Thank you! Do you have this in CVData form?

Take a deck of cards and remove enough cards to get a +20 TC. You'll see that the advantage is still hardly visible and these situations won't appear as shocking. I think all new players should do this before starting to count, yet I have yet to see it in a book.

Statistically it WILL happen as you start putting in more hours. Here is a short term portion from a sim I just ran of one of the best tables in the country, using no cover and a 1-25 spread. Each block represents 100 hands (high and low points). In the long run, your positive streaks...

The best count is one you can still execute perfectly while tired and hungry at 4 am after a 12 hour long day, while staying engaged in conversation with casino personnel and the players around you.

No. From experience. This helps you.

Let's just say the host/comps department isn't on the same page with surveillance and you'd be surprised at how far you can push this fact.

After noticing you can get away with using comps on a trespassed player card without a problem, do not under any circumstance get curious enough to try getting a marker.

It's not really hurting you. Calculate your actual expected loss (mentioned above already) by playing those hands and you will see it's negligible. From what I'm reading you had close to 10 losing sessions, each session half an hour long? 10x0.5 = a 5 hour slump? I wish my "negative slides"...

Hi Opt I with no side count won't really outperform HiLo, but zen should in all circumstances. I honestly think no one has posted correct reason yet. I'm pretty sure it's the following, but please tell me if I'm wrong: Make sure you are looking at all measures of performance. $/hr isn't...

If it matters, he exchanged some PMs with me and seemed like a legitimate player who was just eager to learn like most others here. I wouldn't call his posts spam, warranting a permanent ban. I certainly knew a lot less than he did when I fist found this site (but didn't open my mouth :) ).

As I said it was a profit maximizing hit and run trip, and the profits I did maximize :) I was actually just rotating shifts, and each time had no problem for about 45mins - 1 hr with extremely aggressive DD play. I easily recognized the heat and would've left before being backed off if I...
