Hey everyone, sorry for posting so many new threads but as a relatively new AP I am seeing things that I never saw before. Here is the one extremely obvious thing I have realized. PEOPLE SUCK AT BLACKJACK. Of course I never really knew this before I learned perfect BS, counting and indexes.
So here is my question. Is it normal to go 3 weeks, 60 hours of playing (I told you I am addicted to BJ) and not see a single advantage player? I am playing in Korea and I swear to you by all that is holy that I have not seen anyone play perfect BS, much less counting or using indexes. In fact yesterday was the first time that I saw a person who was not religiously staying on soft 18's.
Is this normal? I remember an article by Renzey saying that only 1 out of a 100 players are winners or something like that and now I really believe it. However, my theory is that since gambling is illegal for Korean citizens, and a large portion of the players are expats, they did not grow up playing casino games like many americans. American style cards are a national pastime in a way in the USA but most Korean families dont own a deck of American cards. I believe this is why there are such bad BJ players here... what do y'all think?
