I see people saying things like "level 3 count" and "level 2 count."

What does this mean?

Danke schoen,

Oh it just means when a tag value is something other than + or -1. Like if 5 gets assigned +2, it's a level 2 count. If 5 is +3 and 4's are +2, it;s a level 3 count.

Not doing a good job of explaining here - just a way of trying to more accurately reflect the relative value of each card so it maybe identifies more situations more accurately when to increase bet, deviate from BS, etc.

Hopefully helped a little anyway lol.

You should read a few books...

Try this webpage to see different counts, their levels and efficiencies.

There are definitions at the bottom of the chart.

Higher level counts are more accurate/profitable, but also more difficult.

You should read a few books like: (pick 3)

Blackbelt in BJ, by Snyder
BJ Bluebook II, by Renzy
Professional BJ, by Wong
BJ Blueprint, by Blaine
BJ for Blood, by Carlson
Million Dollar BJ, by Uston

You can get BJ Attack 3rd. ed., by Schlessinger later.

Amazon and Half.com have xlnt deals on used blackjack books.

Gamemaster has a very good BJ School website. At the very LEAST go
through his lessons, if you don't want to get a few books. Link:

You can find websites to practice basic strategy and counting like

(Dead link: http://www.blackjack-bst.com/)

I use this website at work and use Casino Verite's CVBJ module at home.
