A good book to read is "Blackjack Attack" 2nd ed. regarding ROR and to get BJRM as mentioned by LTC A good generalization (not ROR, but a good guideline) is to have a BR of 100 max bets (if your max bet is $25 you'd have $2500) and to only play in positive counts- FLA Player

Re: Awesome article Great article and great comments Mayor... look forward to taking some money from the evil empire with you and LTC in Vegas sometime FLA Player

Re: This one belongs in the "Best Posts" Very informative....great post as always LTC- one thing that wasn't brought up (I haven't been backroomed yet in my short AP career, knock on wood)- the best advice is to NOT get pegged as a counter in the first place, in short work on your COVER!!!! You...

Great story Victoria.... keep it up and keep contributing to the site- just curious, how many indicies have you learned (+6 to -6?) and what count do you use? Any wonging in and out? FLA Player

If I end up married I'll take you, the Mayor, and Ploppy Jim to Charlie Palmer's at the Four seasons my next Vegas trip- do you want to give me odds? FLA Player

Well said LTC.... I intend on taking A LOT of the evil empire's cash this weekend! FLA Player

I think that I speak for The Mayor and LTC in saying we need more hot chick counters- and especially girls from Houston...in a Jaguar! And I believe the hotter you are the less "heat" you will get once you start counting. Sorry I couldn't help the pun. Casinos that are governed by a state...

Hi - Lo spread from Blackjack Attack: TC 0 / +1 or negative count- table minimum or one unit TC +2 or larger- 2 units TC +3 or larger- 3 units TC +4/+5- 4 units TC +5 /+6- 5 units TC +6 or more- two spots of 6 units (this is a 1-12 spread for a 6 deck shoe, less of a spread is required for...

Blackjack tournaments have nothing to do with counting, they are solely based on betting and finishing with more chips then the other players at your table- read "Casino tournament strategy" by Wong, his strategy is followed by most seasoned players- proportional betting, betting with the flow...

YES- and I did lose on high counts on 2 other sessions (not trying to make it sound easy or something, just because you have a high count doesn't guarantee a win)- and losing sucks. Thanks Mayor, FLA Player

I am in the Phoenix airport after a 12 hour mini-trip wonging at high counts- I had maybe my highlight of my short AP career- Wonged into a 6 deck at Palms with a couple of college age kids betting 100-500 chips.... I won 7 hands in a row (2 naturals) and played insurance correctly on the last...

Barry White, huh? I'll have to keep that in mind! And was it Barry White once the twins were back in the room or before?

I tend to stick to the strip (MGM, Palms, Mirage, Bellagio, etc) based on Trackjack and BJF reports on conditions (I play 6 deck). I did go downtown on my last trip based on comments from LTC and The Mayor, it is well worth it- but I wouldn't go to the Western or the El Cortez too late at...

Great trip report- a couple of questions: Where you playing mostly 2 deck? Any 6 deck? What count where you using? What was your trip BR? I also had a great 1st time as an AP (up 4K), your observations as far as the mental highs and lows are the same as what I experienced.... sounds like the...

Great post- looks like the Hilton is the best place (condition wise) in AC according to BJForum spring issue. I wish I would have started my AP career at your age- just curious, what count are you using (Hi-Lo, KO, etc)?
