A little background. This is my fourth attempt at card counting. The first 2 times I mainly used the running count. I don't even remember how I bet, it was at least few years ago. Those first 2 times needless to say did not go so well. The third time I was about 117 hours in and up $2,320. I use...

Honestly, I haven't even been looking yet, I'm trying to just master regular card counting. I just thought if I do happen to see the hole card I would know what to do with that info. But yes that is the one I was looking for thank you.

There was a thread about strategy plays for hole carding. I found one that had the Wizard of Odds strategy chart for hole carding, but I remember there was another one that was simpler to remember. Someone wrote down the plays of when to hit, stand, etc. Does anyone know the thread I'm...

Sorry. Hi Lo using one deck resolution.

At true count of 6, 5, or 4?

Should I count the same way I would with other players at the table if I'm heads up with the dealer? Normally I count the dealer's up card first then I start counting the player's second card as it comes out. So would I count the dealer's card first then add up my hand or if I can should I...

Does anyone know if Ken Smith used truncating, flooring, or rounding for the plastic strategy cards sold on this site?

I'm trying to become comfortable talking at the table while counting. I saw one person said they sung along to a song while practicing alone. Others have said for the person dealing to you while practicing to ask you questions. Anything else? It's just repetition like everything else?

:(

No I don't have CVCX. I want to get it but before I do I wanted to make sure I can count effectively at the table before I invest in it, as I would have to get a different computer because I have a Mac. I will try to back count when I think I can. I'm paranoid surveillance or someone might...

Yup Hi-Lo. Thanks I'll use it.

<=1 15$ 2 20$ 3 40$ 4 60$ 5 75$ 15 dollar minimum, 8 decks, LS, H17, good pen, double any 2 cards, split up to 4 times, no re-split aces, insurance. 5000$ bankroll. Will get out at -1, -2 true counts depending if I've lost a hand or two in a row. I'm doing this...

Thanks so much. Do you know where I can find the correct index numbers for flooring? I would like to get the qfit software but I don’t have a windows computer and before I invest in it for my Mac or get a cheaper Microsoft computer I would like to know if I can actually do this.

So couldn't I just use the running count for indices at 0. Any positive running count would be floored to at least 0, no? And any negative running count would be floored to at least -1 no matter what my divisor is.

Ok I guess what had me confused was the YouTube clip of Colin Jones stating that you hit on a running zero with a 16 vs 10. Also Rick Blaine’s book Blackjack Blueprint says to hit a running 0 with a 12 against a 4. I’m not trying to be anal about this I’m just trying understand why the little...
