All I have is my iPhone. Searching this forum would be tough. I urgently need hole card strategy for dealer soft hands only. A basic and complete version of HC strategy for dealer soft hands is needed. I own beyond counting so a pm w copywrited material is ok. But also sonny posted a nice simple...

Here are the numbers: While playing 6D, Stdev from CVCX is $370/hr Played about 16 hours CVCX says 16 hours: 1SD is -1217 to +1675 2SD is -2228 to +2686 While playing DD, Stdev from CVCX is $500/hr Played about 60 hours CVCX says 60 hours: 1SD is -3000 to +4700 2SD is -5,590 to...

only the shrewdest of players should get involved with these games. Banking is one way to make money on it, but only under certain circumstances and if you have deep pockets. Other scenarios - if the game is being weakly dealt (i.e. you can exploit the house), or weakly regulated (i.e. you can...

WYNN MGM LVS have been the only gambling relating thing I've made money on over the past 9 months. Got WYNN at 30, MGM at 7.50 and LVS at 10.00. They're all still garbage on paper, but 2-3 years from now at least 2 of those 3 will still be more than standing. I'm banking on MGM coming...

No, you will not have a problem at all. They have an OK DD game depending on PEN that will tolerate heavy black action without issue. Play on a card if they sweat you too much and all will be ok. There shoe games are actually quite good, black action no problem. If you can find a $15 min table...

H17 and S17 have 2 differences. have if you ignore them, and just play the more common BS for H17 you will never notice the difference in your EV. If you're a low roller there are sub $5 tables at Augustine Casino and Spotlight 29. $3 I think. not great pen, but if your min bet is $5, it's a...

I buy CBJN about once every 8 months. It's worth the $13. I use it to scope house edge then do my own legwork for PEN. Very few people who do their own leg work on the best games are just going to share it with strangers. However, if you do some of your own, then you have something to trade via...

ZG: i'll look into crunching these numbers soon. I'll try to find time tonight and i will report back. I play mostly DD so I might just do an aggregate calculations based on the average game I played, number of hours, and spread.

i kinda felt a little strange about putting the report in $s, but units really don't make much sense to me anymore since I play 6d, DD, SD. At each game the unit might be different to achieve the same Max Bet. I reported this in $s for illustrative purposes. e.g. for DD a $25 unit bet was...

total investment is 2500, current BR is 4000. three years of part time play = $1500 up. sorry for the ambiguity. and thanks for the thoughts.

It's been a long time since I've posted anything of substance. I've been playing in the shadows, not really reporting here. Read Exhibit CAA, playing all over US. A little background. I started playing in 2007 with a measly bankroll of $700. Over the course of a year I had invested $2500...

just use the composite indices, except for insurance. Use 0 for SD, and +1 for DD. All else same. #s of interest: Initial Running count (-4 SD or -8 DD) -2 0 +2

I'm leaving within a few hours! Even got a fast car for just for the trip.....

the rules you describe are not the best rules available in SoCal, nor is the PEN. Losing happens. My BR is eroded to 50% of its max after 3 several day sessions. i'm not happy about it, but it's life, i double checked my game, and it was solid. high risk, means sometimes you don't come out...

one more variation: if the count is negative, tell him that he should hit because there won't be a 10 in the hole. if the count is positive, tell him he should stand because there is a 10 in the hole.
