a pit boss watching you after you rebuy is NOT heat. It is a pit boss watching your average bet for ratings purposes most of the time. 90% of pit bosses I encounter don't even know B.S. and of those 90%, most know just enough B.S. plays to know that I'm not even playing that. I have had this...

KJ, I noticed you often twist the meaning of things people say and put words in peoples mouth. I didn't say you were IMMUNE - but that it was highly unlikely for places that dont monitor games well. There are MANY places I play on the east coast that don't have a clue about counting - trust...

At the stakes you guys are playing, no one is going to give you heat while you are LOSING unless they have super good survilliance, in which case you are bound to get caught anyway. Even that is rare. If you have one deck left to play, buy 2 rounds worth of big bets, whether that's 4 bets if you...

assume_R, The thread is called "Stories" and was posted a few months ago. I don't keep exact records, and blended all my expenses with my BR (relatively modest and gifts offset some). But I dropped in the neightborhood of 60k in blackjack. I am generally a winning poker player, but have...

BJ Genius, I don't understand your post because I never posted my Turning Stone story. I did finish a winner there, but the place just sucks in every way.

I read these forums each day, and have learned a lot on them, so I thought I would give back. Don't be fooled by my name - I have logged probably about 1,000 hours now. Before I give advice, let me review my story, which people have questioned but is indeed true. As a full-time advanced...

Recently I was spread 2x800 in 2nd & 3rd to last position with 2 stiffs vs dealer 4 in massive count. 3rd base had pocket 4's and was thinking & thinking. Everything was going through my head... Split perhaps? Double maybe? Hit?... All not overly bad in that count. Then he waives it off. He...

not if they 'hedge' their risk with loss rebates.

Hi Flash, it's in the post above per your request.... hi-lo Let me know your thoughts! I have been struck by bad variance for the first time, and I mean BAD

wanted to get more info on betting ramps the experts in this forum use. I have been messing with some sims, and noticed that my current betting pattern is much more aggressive then what standard sims show. I am most curious about how many units (assuming a unit is your min bet) is ideal for TC...

hey, congrats on the win last week.... I would focus on golf and not waste your time with bj hit em straight

would change some of the indicies for splitting... 2-2 vs 8 is +5. I would think 7's would lower that as they give you 9 vs 8, and make the dealers 8 stiff. Might also lower 4 vs 4 split index... helps both player and dealer, but player can double on 11. I am guessing it could also effect very...

hey - you are definetely right about your comments... it's just hard because I don't live close to any casinos. I make trips often and try to bounce around. When I was winning, I tried to keep my wins relatively low. The problem is, when I play 50/100 units, the big wins just happen. The...

Hey KJ, I surely wasn't blaming you or anyone one bit. I play my own game and make my own decisions, and surely changing my betting patterns doesn't make the dealer more likely to pull 21 40% of the hands :). The streak started before I changed anyway. I do think your way has higher return...

Well I stopped posting for a while because I don't appreciate all the comments people made about my story. I find the site useful and read on here everyday. I have also given other people information on casino conditions. I have even talked to kj online & given him tips despite the comments he...
