If you are a basic strategy player, it makes no difference where you sit.
If you are a card counter, you can see an extra few cards before you play your hand by sitting at the end, which helps a small bit.
However, since many players are erroneously convinced that the “third-base” player can affect everyone’s results, they often are combative if they disagree with your play in that seat. For that reason, many players avoid it.
I have been practicing with your system a lot. I am now in the 95-97% approval. Where does that put me in ability to play quality and profitable BLACKJACK.
To get to profitable blackjack, you’ll need counting. And I wouldn’t start worrying about card counting until you are at 100% basic strategy proficiency.
While 95-97% accurate basic strategy is much better than the average player, it’s not good enough to approach beating the game. Keep at it!
Hello I go soon to Warsaw Poland.i want to know where is the best casino with best rules in black jack . Also after I go north Cyprus and Bucharest and in both also I need to know what’s the best casino with best rules for black jack. Thanks
I enjoy use of this site and have found it very helpful. with what i have learned from the site i have no concern at sitting at casino table. Could u tell me whether the random number generator closely compares to real life black jack. In using the trainer i seem to have a lot of even sessions ie wins and losses are very close in number.
The results you’ll get playing against this site’s RNG or a live dealer should be exactly the same. However, it sounds like you may have been experiencing an unusually calm set of sessions, ending up close to even in many of them. That’s not typical, and is just coincidental. Whether you play live or on my trainer, expect more volatility than that!
Hi, can i use the basic srategy playing rng bj like the one playtech offer in many different online casino, will it have the same effect as playing live casino?
hey can you really go through a card game in 10 seconds? I can’t even flip the cards in a deck in under 20 and thats when i’m not even looking at the cards
You can start increasing your bet at a true count of +2 (some games at +1), and you should generally have your biggest bets on the table at +5 and higher.
For more on bet ramps, see the Blackjack School lesson “A Field Trip with the GameMaster“.
You can start any time during the shuffle. Just think of the cards already in the discard tray as being behind the cut card instead. You’ll have less chance of a good true count developing in that initial shuffle, because the effect of entering mid-shoe is that you reduce penetration for that shoe only. But everything works just the same.
I was also wondering how should a player go about betting when counting say the minimum bet is 2 and the maximum 10 with the bankroll of 500 at what count would you advise to increase bets from the minimum?
Thank you very much I was also wondering should a player enter the deck just as it has been shuffled and if not how should a player determine a count when there is only half of the deck to start with?
In one and two deck games, you can certainly make money with a smaller spread, especially if you leave the game in bad negative counts.
If you are playing 6 or 8 deck games, you really need that extra spread to overcome the house edge.
please let me know when the new bj is ready i love the strategy trainer why do you have to change it
please send me new version when you can
When the new version is launched, you’ll see it here. I have a LONG way to go yet. Think months.
Tell me about the best place to sit at a table in Vegas. I have heard that you do not want to be on the end.

How about an option to turn off the card total display? There’s no such display at a real blackjack table.

Yes, that’s on the wishlist. Thanks!
