Spent the past 4 months studying (and I do mean studying) card counting. Downloaded Super Blackjack and have played countless hours. I have practiced to perfection.... I don't even have to think about what to do it's just all second nature. I don't always come out on top in the sim but most times I do really well. Finally got the balls up to hit the casino today and play with real money.
The game was a 6 deck shoe with about 80% pen. I was kinda nervous about throwin some of those big bets down (big for me) but I tried to just pretend it was the sim and not worry about it. One hand I had $50 down on S19 against the dealer's 5 with a TC of plus 6. I put my bet up to double and the dealer's like, "no no no honey.... are you really sure you want to do that?". Sure did work out good for me. I know that is against BS but it was the end of the shoe and the TC was pretty high. I was pretty certain I'd get a 10 (and I did) and that she would bust at 25 (and she did). Felt good to win :grin:
Anyways, the point is in a little over 4 hours I walked out 475 richer than I walked in. Been lurking here for a while now reading your posts and it's helped a lot along the way...... Thanks!!!
