    I have been playing for about 3 years and I use the Blackjack apprentice training app on my Iphone. It will tell you when you make a mistake. Starting out is a real rollercoaster ride. Good luck

    Excessive bids

    As I get more time in on the tables I have noticed people who shove out large bets for no reason other than to gamble it away. I have seen them needlessly blow thru hundreds and thousands of dollars regardless of the count. Not that I mind but it seems so senseless. I guess it takes the eyes off...

    Cashing in chips

    I know 3k is not enough and 10k or more is the target. I seem to do better on the $25 tables. I have been playing at 2 different casinos. Managed to make actually over 3k in 3 about 4 hour sessions. Probably luck of the run but whatever I can do to get there. I was playing last weekend watching...

    Cashing in chips

    No I was not being facetious . I was just pointing out my situation. The casino I was at only opens a third of their tables and you pretty much have to take what you can get. I was betting $100 when the TC was 4 to 6 winning hand after hand. I couldn't resist. By the way it was a 6 deck shoe...

    Cashing in chips

    Dam and here I thought I was being conservative. Had a guy next to who was putting out 3 and 4 hundred dollar bets. He blew through over $2k. Also all the $10 tables were full up

    Cashing in chips

    I made about $1500 on 2 separate occasions and at 2 different casinos. Each time someone was called . The first place (Diamond Jo's in dubuque) a lady came out and eyeballed me like she was trying to figure me out. The other (ho Chunk Wisconsin Dells) was a phone call telling whoever was on the...

    Training apps

    Working on it. I have had a few very good runs but mostly getting crap ones. Just wondering if this the way this works. I do much better on my table I also use actual cards at home and use the training apps when it's slow at work. Thanks for the reply Don

    Training apps

    I am using 2 training apps on my Iphone. One is BJA (Blackjack Apprenticeship) trainer pro and the other is Blackjack 101 pro that tests you on basic strategy. Any thought on using these apps? They seem to work fine for me but I find it hard to get ahead on the BJA pro app. I start betting low...
