Hi all, n00b to the forum here.
A little about myself, I am mainly a No Limit Hold Em player. I play online everyday and do pretty good. My problem is my in-laws come visit every couple of months and want to go to Blackhawk where we have a 5$ max bet. This screws me as a poker player because I can't gear down to play limit hold em. I don't want to throw my money away on slots, so this leaves me with blackjack.
What are your thoughts about counting and streaking? Being as I can't increase my bet here, I suppose my only option would be to spread the table when the deck gets hot. Now suppose instead of spreading, I streak.
We have the option of streaking 2,3,4, or 5 times. The 4 or 5 seems very unlikely to do, but if the count is good why not try the 2 and 3 both?
2 plays 3:1 and 3 streaks pays 7:1 I believe. So if I played 2 and 3 and won 3 straight I would make 15$ on the 2 and $35 on the 3.
What kind of count would I want to begin my streak?
Is this a bad idea?
I searched the forums and didn't see anything much about this.
Thoughts?
Thanks. (and no I didn't go see 21 this weekend, this has been on my mind for awhile)
