sounds like its just a game with good rules with terrible terrible penetration? Out of all the books Ive read I believe they say penetration is everything, if you dont have good pen, you dont have a good game

however I may be somewhat similar in a way or two, as I know its improbable, but Im still giving this adventure a go with only about a $500 BR, it still amazes me how many people are on these forums that come in with these 'amazing strategies' that will work and they must be the first ones to...

The "Blackjack know-it-all" Had a guy last night that was just blowing steam out his ass all night I was just back counting, as I really didn't want to play next to this guy. He had just upped his bet from $5 to about $40 (DD H17, good rules game) count happened to be roughly True -7...

So the other day I was at the tables and I saw this kid who was sitting in center field. This game was a double deck pitch game where the cards are dealt face down, which is the only time I can see this working. Either the kid was just acting like he was quite slow, or he actually was slow...

Ya this happens in a DD pitch game, so I cant really see the other peoples cards.

Ive noticed that it seems like probably 80% (just a wild guess, not actually counting them) of the dealer Ace up cards that happen on the first hand are blackjacks. Is there any math to go with this? First start of the deck, dealer has an Ace up, do YOU take insurance? Im guessing a lot of...

thanks, good beginner info there

I like to tell people that the 'flow of cards is bad, and that it needs to be changed up' and Ill sit out. This typically sounds like something just an average gambler would say, and doesnt draw much attention at all. Only thing Ive noticed is, A LOT of ploppies end up blaming me for the...

mine are under 100, his are under 200. Highest Ive seen him bet was $150 I believe

although ^^^ is right, I doubt anyone would care about someone counting in an ante game, as you just cant beat it, I think AC232323 is probably in the right ballpark about casinos not being as worried about counters like vegas is over here. This place atleast seems to be really laid back and...

So the way Im playing currently (if played correctly) wont yield a negative EV in the long run? My goal for my play is to be able to have fun and not lose money. I dont want to consider it a job, but more of a weekend hobby that might yield a bit of cash on my end. Ive got a good bit of...

Only time I got mad at a ploppie was when I was already having a bad night, put $15 of my last $30 on the table, got an 11, doubled to go all-in. Guy saw I was all in, dealer had an 8 showing. Guy laughs, flips over his cards (DD) and splits his 20. Pulls a 7 and a 9, stays on both. Dealer...

I had a friend (first time playing) that thought double down meant you just double your bet. Doubled on hard 18, dealer yelled "Double Hard 18!" everyone started looking around like he was crazy.. and pulled a 3 lol

Hey guys, been lurking around for awhile but this is my first post. Started playing some blackjack on the weekends. (edited location details) I found a DD Hit on soft 17 game, looks to be about 70-75% penetration thats worth playing. I know BS inside and out, using the Hi-Lo count and...
