This game exists in only one place in North America that I know of. I’ve tried to count at this game with mixed results. I determined it needs a specialized count and indices.

Random stacks, and I don’t count my money while at the table. From the house’s point of view stacking your chips neatly shows you have experience. You want to show them you have the least amount of experience possible.

Lol guys. I’ve been to Mexico hundreds of times. It’s fine as long as you walk around like you own the place.

Anyone have experience playing at Caliente casino in Tijuana? I’m gonna be in the San Diego area not too long from now and was wondering if this place would be worth a border crossing. Rules, limits, and pen are the main things I’m wondering about. I’m open to PMs.

You run hot, until you don’t. What happens when you stick bets that are too big out there according to your roll because the table is “hot”, and then you get your ass kicked? Bet above full Kelly and your bankroll grows more slowly. Bet beyond double Kelly and ruin is imminent.

It’s a unique place to play and by far one of my favorite blackjack destinations in the country. My advice when it comes to this town is to just keep your eyes open and think outside the box.

I like playing this game in the morning at B with a couple of cups of coffee. Great way to start the morning.

Same concept as any defensive split. Think 88v10 for example.

6:5 just killed someone at age 65. Just goes to show putting that game in your casino is just asking for trouble.

Three whole shoes? How do you sleep at night?!

I recently played a couple hours and 7 straight shoes went to very negative counts each time. How unusual!!

The only thing that matters is if you had the edge. Did you? Were you doing everything correctly and were you mentally fresh? If yes, then work on improving your edge and press on. If no, then absolutely work on improving your edge and press on.

That’s unfortunately the case for everyone. The count is only in the player’s favor about 22 of every 100 hands. Most of your naturals are gonna be within those 78 house-advantaged hands. This highlights how important penetration is.

I’m not a big fan of “good variance” but I don’t tend to say “good luck” either. I usually find myself saying “good cards” or something of the like. I could also do it like Bob Dancer and say “Go out and hit lots of blackjacks and doubles. Good day.”

I recently had a five figure loss on an opportunity with a much larger edge than standard card counting. Before my trip ended due to time constraints I got more than half of it back in dramatic fashion but unfortunately still left town in the hole a few thousand on a game that’s “hard” to lose...
