A few thoughts and questions: Please keep in mind that I'm a novice! On average the "house" has a slight advantage over the player! This means on an average session/day of playing, when it all is balanced out, the "house" would have come up with slightly more winning hands?! For those that...

Re: El Kotex Player's Card After I got my card, my green action kept causing the PC to cough. Must be allergic to the green chips. And coughing often caused the Dealer to shuffle. One Asian dealer apparently did not speak "cough", and kept on dealing...and PC kept on coughing. After about 3...

Re: JLP where is your sense of adventure! Learning to count: You are one funny dude, I just laughed out loud here at work when I read your response. :: PS Seriously though. Down town is best played in the morning from sunup until 11am. Then go to the strip or off strip casinos. Great trip...

Re: Are you sure? LVBear584: :: In the exact sequence you described, the dealer had a hard 17 and erroneously hit it, drawing the 4 for 21. The boss should have burned the 10 AND the 4, resulting in a dealer 17, not a 21. Did no one point this out? :: Yes it was correct, the 4 and 5 might be...

My first trip to LV I was there from Friday morning to Monday morning. Played only at El Cortez "Can El Cortez buy you a drink". I must admit, I thought Red Garder in Wendover was a dump, but was I in for a shocker and truly eye opener. During my stay in LV, I played around 20 hours of BJ at...

Re: A45 and K-O I just did, thank you!!!

A45 and K-O T-Hooper: First I have to say that I'm in awe to be in the midst of real professionals. I have read a few books and have read a lot of posts. Prior to actually going to a casino and keeping track of 3 cards I had this fear of not only being caught, but of being so distracted that...

Thank you everyone for the responses. Learning to count: You mentioned "...run of luck..." in your response. One thing I can never understand is why some dealers, (Asian woman dealers in particular) can be so incredibly lucky, at least in Wendover. Another thing that I don't understand is why...

Something unusual happened to me while playing at around 3am in Montego Bay casino in Wendover, Nevada. I'm a novice player that is just starting out. I mostly go to Wendover, NV 3 times per month. I use A -1, 4 +1 and 5 +1 method of counting. I start at +4 and at table minimum of $3. at +6 I...
