    Two-Man Play

    The best way to do this is to simply pool your bankroll. I would make sure he is just as good of a counter as you are though. You could also do things such as one player keeping a normal count and the other keeping a perfect insurance count (if you are on the same table). Good luck

    Going Postal at Blackjack

    "The more you get out, the more you get in." NEWMAN on why postal workers go postal. Also the fact that zip codes are meaningless.

    Daily Swings in the thousands

    That is a very interesting story. I bet your people are very happy that the white face does share your approach of only playing in casinos owned by their people as they would make very little money. Also, if you only play engine casinos and you are an AP, aren't you actually taking money from...

    Vicksburg?!

    Actually I do live in the south. I've lived in the deepest of the deep south my whole life, however, I have traveled quite extensively. My alma mater's theme song is Dixie for god's sake. Cajun Country is the south in location but not people. Coon Asses are not the same thing as southerners...

    Vicksburg?!

    I have been to Vicksburg before and Flash's comments are pretty much on point. If you want to skim a few hundred you're ok but green chips will get you in trouble if you're there for several days. Spending several hundred on transportation to get there is not a good idea if you go strictly to...

    Need advice from experienced players

    If you've got a 50k bankroll you should have a sim program and know how to use it yourself. If you want someone to verify your results, that's understandable but don't depend on someone else's sim when 50k is riding on it. If you want to start a team go ahead in my opinion and give us updates...

    Zen SC aces

    I wouldn't use HO2 for shoes. I don't play many shoes so I can't help you further than that.

    Zen SC aces

    With a multiparameter scheme, however, Zen w/ 7s sidecount trumps HO2 w/ Aces sidecount. zg. I doubt that.

    Zen SC aces

    -1 is a compromise between the importance of an ace to bc and its unimportance to pe. If you want to side count aces do not count aces in your regular count and count sixes as 1 not 2. If you do that, voila!, you are using hi-opt II. If you really look at it, all Zen is is Hi opt II...

    Keeping separate bank accounts

    Just a thought to the prudent. If you keep a "gambling" account if you are ever audited by the IRS or your state tax commission they will ask what it is for and if you have not paid taxes on it you will get torched. If you do correctly report this would actually be helpful, if not......:whip:

    Counting Cards

    Based on your questions I would rec'd that you go buy a good bj book, read it and then come back with any questions you still don't understand. I rec'd Blackbelt in Blackjack.

    Hi-Opt II for double deck

    I personally use HO2 for double deck games and like it very much. You must remember, the reason for using HO2 is the increased PE not BC. Ergo, learn and utilize your indexes or do not use HO2.

    atlantis bahamas

    What the heck is an "energy surcharge." Is this just a way to charge 124 and call it 100 or is it based on how much energy you use?
