Blacklisted Non-Advantaged Player I used to post on here occasionally but stopped because many people were very rude. I just wanted to note that despite my being a "non-advantaged" player the casino did finally blacklist me. They must have a hard limit of $50,000 total winnings for anyone...

LV Car Rental I'm in LV at the moment. Got a car through rentalcars.com. I don't know if they're the cheapest, but I paid $65.00 (including taxes) for four days. Free shuttle runs between car rentals and airport. Ended up with a Sabre, no complaints. Probably cheaper ones out there but not...

What's the use? If the above statement is true, what good is card counting? Raising bets would not increase EV, just hasten the doom.

CBJN Price The cost is not the price of the sheet, but the cost of working with misinformation. I bought the current issue and I know there are inaccuracies in it based on my recent play. I'm not trying to be cheap - just looking for accurate info. -Buzzer

CBJN - Accuracy Bought it for my last trip - was certainly worth the price. I did find that some of the info was dated, even though I had the most recent issue. When you only have a few days to play it's a shame to waste time going to the wrong places. I find it a bit frustrating that it is...

I'm going to Vegs mid September (weekend of 19th). Any recommendations for good green chip double deck games? Any particularly good black chip ones? Appreciate any casino suggestions!

Number of Players at the Table My issue with too many players is distraction. Recently I watched a player split sevens against the dealer's ten, a while later another split 4's against a ten. Harder for me to pay attention to the cards when this happens. Other than that, having other players...

Communication The tone of many replies is extremely critical. I haven't posted anything on my style of play in a long time. Most replies were extremely critical and guaranteed my complete ruin. Meanwhile my winnings have doubled. I did use a big chunk of my bankroll to buy a new car. If I...

They Roll Up the Carpets The table games are all closed from 4:00AM - 10:00AM! Probably the only casino in the world that does this.

Cut off - Double Deck Update Cut off in double deck can't be 2 decks or the game is unplayable (no cards left to deal!). The dealer would have to be a magician too. Update - I found out there's a $15 double deck game there as well. There were always a number of players at the table. This...

Would this be a good double? I notice no one questioned the double. Personally, I would not have doubled given this scenario, though I have not checked the probabilities. First, the players hand of A5 would draw a 16 1/3 of the time. The advantage of the A5 is that you have at least two...

Almost everything I read on here revolves around simultations and mathmateics. While they are certainly the core of successful play and a must have understanding every player needs, they often ingore the human factor. We make mistakes. We sometimes hold back our bet increases in fear. We...

Shu Games I agree, shu games are bad. They're all 8 deck - enough said. Note: There is one 6 deck table in high limit area. Minimum bet is $100, you can DAS. I believe the house advantage is still higher than on the double deck games.

Vegas or not to Vegas My post about TS double deck was meant to be informational, not an endorsement of the game. I much prefer Vegas rules, but you waste a day of travel getting there and back from the east coast. If I factor in the loss of work during travel ($640) the airfare ($380) and...

I haven't seen much posted about Turning Stone's double deck games. Up until last year you were able to play with $100 minimums. In the spring of 2007 they upped the minimum to $200. This was enough for me to stop despite being well ahead in the game. Now they have $50 minimums with four...
