Poll: How many decks do you mostly play?

[21forme]

Also, I wonder if your answer is what you prefer to play, or that's really the only option in your area?

 

[Jeff25]

In my area the only option is 8d s17 das.

 

[Brutus]

6 deck is available locally, although I rarely play.
My preference is one deck, 3:2 bj's doa, das. good pen.

 

[GeorgeD]

8 deck is all I have locally. Look for the lowest with OK rules when elsewhere.

 

[sagefr0g]

mostly only six decks. however when i first started counting i tyed into some eight deck shoes and thought they were six deck :joker:
i'd probably be a lost little lamb if i were fortunate enough to have single deck and two deck games available.

 

[shadroch]

In NY,the only local options are eight deck or one place with 6 decks. Rather than play them,I save my money and fly to Vegas every 6-8 weeks.It cost no more than making weekly trips to AC,and I prefer the DD shoe games out there much more.
There is no reason to accept shitty games just because they are the only ones offered locally.

There are DD, 4D, & 6D in my area but I prefer DD. With my limited bankroll I should play 6D.

Please explain the logic behind your thoughts?

I just meant that I should play 6D because the mins are lower than DD and I am still trying to build a decent bankroll.

 

[shadroch]

Okay,playing at a lower minimum is a very good reason for playing 6D instead of DD.

 

[nc-tom]

in my area i play mostly 1 deck games in Reno. Only play 6 deck if wife or friends drag me to an indian casino. with my small bankroll i much prefer the 1 deck games needless to say.

Maybe you should be wonging into the DD game.

 

[blackchipjim]

decks question.

I play 8d because it's what is around the area. Unfortunatly I have neither the bankroll or time to pursue better games elsewhere. I have played DD deck in Vegas when I go and love them but it's a different game than I'm use to. I would love to have better games in the area but I don't see that happening. blackchipjim

I would but No Midshoe entry. I do Wong out by timing my "breaks". Phone call, text message, rest room, etc.

that doesnt exist anymore.. no casino would offer a game with a .15% house edge

 

[Arctapodema]

6 decks is the only type offered locally, so thats what i usually play.

 

[Brutus]

I think what you mean is -.15%.
...remember 'em like it was yesterday.

my local joint, Casino Arizona could offer games like that and still make plenty.
the players are so lousy, they play to hunches and dont know very much about bs. besides the overbetting players trying to make back their losses.

 

[EasyRhino]

DOA and DAS on a single deck game? Wow, rare as a hen's tooth.

But Casino Arizona is a special case anyway, since it's an impregnable fortress of advantage-play countermeasures.

 

[humonstick]

6 decks is not effective enough
1 deck seems like it's too obvious being a card counter

I play two decks, but I rather play three decks if Reno have any for offer because it should get way less heat than single and double decks but are alot more effective than 6 decks

I believe most participants in group can't afford to jump off to Vegas Monthly. It is what it is Shaddrock, and but for most of us it's someone else's world and we live in it. Of course, there are acceptions.
