What I found interesting was the CSM spanish 21 there. Is that even possible? The only time I saw something like that was in Singapore and Malaysia, but with no Hole card (i.e. Pontoon).

Seneca (USA) high limit room has the same rules as the floor. 75% pen, S17. no mid entry, and 2 PB's watching very very carefully.

Hi Flash1296. I'm still working on those exercises you suggested. They have flashcards online it seems, but only for normal BJ illustrious 18. Are these cards (apart from different indices) applicable to S17? Thanks again for your help, it is greatly appreciated. Red.

Hi Flash 1296, BS and 40 indices are quite a feat to remember. Can you suggest any ideas to learn them efficiently? Deck estimation is another issue altogether. Since the 10's are removed, how do you estimate, especially near the end of the shoe? I suppose playing normal BJ and...

Hi Flash1296, Would learning the indices be necessary at disadvantageous counts? During that time, you would putting down on the the table minimum right? What do you mean by "overlearn" for indices? I'm guessing it's the same examples u mentioned earlier (Surrender/stand, and...

Hi Flash1296, Good to know!!! I did play a few hands and surrendered hard 17 vs A. People around me did give out weird looks, but hey, it happens, lol. Which 40 indices are you referring to? Is it like the Illustrious 18?? Red.

Moo321, two places actually... Seneca and Blue Heron. Alot of punters play there, they especially love the Match the Dealer bet. Expect alot of the lower tables to be filled up. I'm still learning/practising, but it's not easy to count near the end of the shoe. Maybe better to Wong...

Jnrwilliam, the rules are draw up to 4 times, including aces. 678/777 bonus. Double down any time, no re-dd. 8 decks but with almost > 80% pen. (one deck out). Thanks for the info 21forme. Still working on it now. With a limited bankroll, maybe it's better to Wong in? Red.

After reading Kat's book, I did notice the local casino has a few S17 tables. However, the table limit is $100 a hand. Mind you this is a Canadian casino, but the pen was 87 to 90%. Is it worthwhile? Red.
