Just logged my 100th hour and got my first back-off in the same trip. My stomach dropped straight out of my ass!:eek::eek: Since my big downswing the last few weeks I've been playing aggressively, no cover, full spread, bet jumping, wonging, back counting...ect. I was asking for it. Pit boss...

Thanks for your direct help her Don. Its wild that I can have the author of a book I own direct me to the relevant knowledge. In BJA and my software it was suggesting I hit my max 150$ at around 4. It is apparent that I have been severely underbetting this game and my bankroll. Luckily I've...

Thank you Don. Would you care to elaborate on why? Is it the frequency of those higher counts? Also why does software tell me this is optimal. It's seeming more like my spread is too passive. I've reevaluated my spread system quite a few times but I don't know what the proper system is for...

Thank you for the first constructive comment yet. I guess I could take on more risk. Maybe push it harder in high counts for DD. I'm already coming out of a long break of builidng BR. Might ramp up my spread then switch over to pure back counting on 6D. It just takes SOOO long due to conditions...

My mistake I left it on 1 by accident from last time I used the sim. Changing it to 3 doesnt change to ROR. I have a job.....thats where the money came from in the first place.

I've only been able to play successful heads up a handful a times. That's why i'm asking if there is a way to make heads up or mostly play all more profitable. Or maybe just hurt less? Most of the time I wind up having to drop the table and leave (meaning leaving a good dealer) because the shoe...

That is with the pen set conservatively. I frequently can play with 1.5 decks dealt. Moving any of those numbers around slightly i can easily make it drop down to even 1.2% ror. Honestly I don't know what is accomplished by you believing that this is what my computer says

I didnt chose that spread. That's the optimal .5 Kelly from cvcx. Its not play all. Most of the time I can wong, but sometimes I get stuck due to having a dealer with great pen.

Ive simmed this situation multiple times already. I'm not worried about my spread in theory. More so my technique and situation for being in a no wonging in game. Real world advice rather than simulations and numbers.

No my risk of ruin is 1.8% I have simmed it and this is my optimal spread. You cant pull random numbers out of your head. Thanks for backing me up on that. And no I didn't pull it out of a hat. I ran the exact parameters of the tables I play on and my bankroll. This is what it lead me to. I'm...

Yes I do mean .4% house edge. And I'm just suprised because the down swing didnt even involve large betting. My large bets were positive/ pushes. It was rather a large amount of minimum bets. If I had a way to better neutral or negative counts playing or better yet avoid it in a DD situation I'd...

I've split tens three times. Two lost me big and one was a push and made the Pit boss begin standing over my shoulder. I don't know about the value of that move.

Hello all, Names Jay. I've read the forum for a long time but this is my first time posting. I've been playing for almost a year but I reevaluated my game in Jan and started over. I figured I should throw my game out there and see what some of the more experienced people in the world have to say...

I feel ya man. Maybe you should do some traveling. Play outside the city for a week or something...

Hey guys new to the forum and slightly new to blackjack AP. They say the best way to learn is through immersion and socially. So I'm here to ask you guys to shoot me some cool casino stories along with a couple questions. Casino's have never been a place I spend much time really. So lets hear...
