    How many hours per year should a serious player play?

    I only play part-time a few hours a week supplementing my retirement, but I did spend some time this past year with a professional player that played many hours a week. I don't know exactly how many but surely more than a 40 hour work week. I would think most players don't play this amount.

    Major errors in blackjack rules survey?

    Omega 2 vs zen

    How much stronger are these counts than hi-lo count. If you can win more money with a different count with the same effort, why doesn't everyone switch? After you learn the count it wouldn't be any harder would it?

    Blackjack vs. Stocks

    A professional player told me that he tries to turn his bankroll over each year. I don't know if that is realistic or not, but if he really does that, it would be a 100% return on investment, which is a lot better return than the stock market. I have increased my bankroll by only 11% in 4...
