Counting in Tournaments If you are going to play in a BJ tournament get a copy of Wong’s Tournament Strategy book, you will need to adjust to some changes from some of the US rules but well worth a read. As far as counting goes it has far less weight in tournament play. It is good to know the...

CTR's I wouldn’t worry too much about CTR’s. If you’re playing rated just hand over your player’s card. The Government get so many of these that they are more interested in the Suspicious CTR’s. That is, people who won’t give their ID or have no proof that they won the money at a table. By...

If you want to play in Adelaide you should contact a Gaming Host, say your from interstate and want to join their Grange Room. The room is open only after 8 P.M. but they have a shoe game which is beatable. It will require a $5k buy-in. If this is too much you may want to share with your...

Shoe games at Treasury Both Treasury and Jupiter’s have shoe games (6 deck) in their premium rooms. At Treasury there are a couple of $50 tables. You will probably need $5k deposit into your account to get a card but worth it.

I was there a few months ago and your right, they will cut deep if they suspect you’re counting. Napoleons has one of the best games for small stakes but they will pay close attention when you bet over 200 pounds. The best casino is the Ritz, good game and great atmosphere. Table min 10 pounds...

I use my phone. I move away from the table text them in an sit down. Usually wait for an easy combination such as Queen, Queen or 6, 7 clubs. At the end of the shoe read your text and wait for the keycards. It's also easier if you have a partner to rememer a couple or do alternate shoes.
