    basic strategy engine

    Well, I think I agreed with you it could say "RH", if it wanted to, for 16 vs 9 or Ace, or 15 vs 10 or Ace. In that any 3-or-more card 16 vs 9 or Ace, or 15 vs 10 or Ace is a Hit if LS is not allowed, So I have no problem re-labelimg those hands "RH" as opposed to "R" if one (ken) chooses...

    basic strategy engine

    OK maybe I see your point better now. "RH" would be better for the "15 vs 10 or Ace and 16 vs 9 or Ace" challenged. I guess the assumption is, as stupid as you are to not surrender, you are still smart enough to hit, not stand, on those hands. PS Only surrender an 8,7 vs Ace. Not 8,7 vs...

    The BS means, when LS is allowed, one would surrender on any 2-card 16 vs 10. If one does not surrender it implies one therefore, obviously, has a 3-or-more-card 16 vs 10 because one would have already surrendered the 2-card 16 vs 10. Therefore, because correct BS would be to to stand on...

    mental game

    I guess I don't get why, 5+ yrs later, just because you are 2/3's ahead of last year whatever you still seem to know what your EV is, how many times you are above EV implyiny you know your avg win% and also implying how many rounds you have played, yet still seem to express results in a...

    Calculating SD per hand with TC frequencies

    I don't know - would not NYnefingers calc above be correct? Just asking because I know I struggle with this stuff all the time with no math background and if you say something I can't figure out I have to know where I'm going wrong lol. It just seems to me the OP maybe should have squared...

    mental game

    Well, I'd say it's more like if one plays 1000 hands in, say by example, a 6D play-all game, 5 times $expectation could still be within 1 stan Dev from expected and completely unremarkable. Play 100,000 hands and being 5 times above $expectation might be 6 or 7 or more Stan Dev from expected...

    if casino offer 30% loss rebate ....

    I intuit that too lol. Maybe the OP would be willing to host such a 30% rebate game for us lol. I actually don't know for sure lol but it seems B-E-A utiful to me. To NYne fingers - I have a paper by Gabor Megyesi on phantom bonuses and loss rebates. I'd post it here but I don't know if...

    Don't make the same mistake I made.

    Hi Lamester Before I accuse you of being a "land-based" Harah's casino rep lol(it's a joke) I do remember some on-line casino, back in the "early days" being accused of their "free" game being unfairly biased toward the player in order to induce "real" money players. As i recall, this was...

    PA table games

    Well, I undersatnd, but, what's 0.2%? Will I drive to Wheeling for a game that much better so I can save $20 after 100o hands? Also, you don't mention $unit. Chances are slots in AC have a lower HA than in PA? Not even sure what my point was lol. FWIW, I heard tables could be at...

    Pa slot parlors revenue tops AC

    I'm just arguing too, like th Rock, too. But, I think PA does have the highest HA for slots of any machine in the country?! What with PA charging so much of every buck.

    Blackjack Winnings and Loses via taxes?

    Well, here's what I think. Nothing on you Rock - you were just last post. Ever notice when you put $1 in a slot machine and hit for $1200? Here comes a W-2G, or 1099-something for $1200 of taxable income. In reality, your net win is $1199, isn't it? If one can automatically offset...

    what is extra house advantage on VBJ with CSM?

    No big deal, but I'd say none at all. Since, usually, I think, HA's are expressed off the top of a shoe and assume re-shuffling after every round just as, I assume you assume, CSM's do. Even if they don't lol. In other words I'd say, if you played a cut-card game as a flat-betting BS...

    Your Definition of a "Unit"

    Heck I don't know. To me it is. Not that one has to I guess but, I think most sims will assume the min bet is a "unit".? So, to me, if one sometimes bets $10 with $1k and sometimes bets $3 with $1k, one is sometimes playing with 100 units and sometimes with 333 units in their roll. To me...

    counting doesn't work

    Of course counting doesn't work when posted in Voodoo - absolutely nothing works in Voodoo as we all know. I'm going to keep this a Voodoo secret because, if I posted it in Card-Counting, it would give too much away. But, just the other day, me, The Wise One and CP walked into the hotel...
