The BS engine has a radio button for European style, is this not what is being discussed? If not, is there a BS engine or card somewhere that is for the game under discussion? Is there more than one type of ENHC?

I can see that. Maybe another PC wouldn't have said anything, seeing that it wasn't affecting the "primary" game. Or maybe the eye in the sky didn't like it and called on it. Who knows. Just seemed strange to me.

So, my Dad went to the local store today, and called me after, with what I consider a strange story. (For those who were in the chat last night, no, I did not get to go to try my newly-acquired counting skills. Work called as I was preparing to go. At least I get more practice time in...

If he'd left some chips in there too, it really would have looked like someone trying to "wear in" some counterfeit bills!

I assume European No Hole Card. I could be wrong.

I got a couple of giggles from the Keno jokes page. I got a guffaw from the BJ page.

Go get yourself 4 decks and start dealing. Let us know how the math works out afterward. Or get a friend to deal to you, and use pennies. Hell, if you live near me, I'll deal. It will give me a chance to practice counting, so at least it will do one of us some good!

There can also be too much done in the other direction, I had a dealer a while ago, who, when she busted her hand and paid the table, would have the table say, "Julie* ROCKS!" I didn't mind it much the first couple of times, but it gets really old after about 3 repetitions. Not the dealer...

While I have no doubt the unavoidable swings in the negative direction will be less than pleasant, such is life. If you're going to do something, do it, don't timidly creep up on it, hoping nothing bad ever happens. This is the way I intend to play, and damn the torpedoes! :eyepatch: When...

To make it even more clear (for this specific instance), check the "Double 10, 11 only". That will remove the doubling from the soft hands and just show H or S.

You're right, and wrong. I never expected to make money playing blackjack. I expected (to pay for) entertainment. I understood the term "-EV" without knowing it existed. I will only play for recreation, even with counting, I'm not expecting to make money. If I do, well, that's gravy. It's...

I've been voodoo betting (and winning, overall) for my entire (short) career. I knew what I was doing, namely slowing the hemorrhage of funds into the dealer's rack. I feel foolish for not trying counting earlier, even though I've been, as you said, extremely lucky. Instead of a lack of...

I'm in the area, I am just starting, but would like to chat if we can get together. You can e-mail me at tenzip at hotmail period com.
