    Any advice

    Check your HR Manual but I doubt they will care as long as you don't play where you work. Many dealers play/gamble, count cards, etc at places other than where they work. I've know supervisors that play at other houses. It's Vegas man, you may be worrying a little TOO much! LOL

    Bet spread

    No human can recalculate full Kelly every hand. At least I have met no math genius so far, who has tried or says they do. If you are that "unicorn", so much power to you. BUT if you have NEVER been backed off in a casino, then you have not played enough to have personally experienced why this...

    Does an 86 carry over to new ownership?

    Are you asking legally or practically. Legally, if you are trespassed at one place and the same license/corporation is the onwer (but changes name/format of casino) that would still be a valid 86. Or if the new owner just bought the corporation/entity and did not set up a new organization...

    Bet spread

    Not sure what you are asking. Minimum for what? To be positive EV? The max depends upon the tolerance of a particular casino or shift. It varies place to place and sometimes shift to shift. Do you have CVCX?

    NOOB Questions

    Also I second opinion above. You state you are a bit of a "math nerd" then you will enjoy CVCX at least. It will provide you the EV of various bet spreads at various playing conditions and rules. You sill see that the EV is NOT as high at your bet level and spread..........especially at an 8...

    Any Playing Conditions Report other than CBJN?

    Do you guys know any good site or one with relatively current info on playing conditions for BJ in the various areas OTHER than CBJN? The former reporter for the OK area is no longer doing it for my area. And other than Vegas and Atlantic City, I don't see that the reports are as current. I'm...

    A look at Down Town LV

    Update Sweaty Spaniard conditions and Downtown generally.................they actually have gone back to their better game conditions. They squeeze people into the table now since they have plexiglass dividers for each playing position. Back to rule of 6 for the single deck. And for once...

    Change in Playing conditions Pre-Covid v Post Covid?

    This is an update and even change in "during Covid" conditions. In a short word, they suck........... The simple fact is "post Covid" minimums have increased and conditions have worsened. Even since I was here in Oct, conditions have seriously worsened. Used to be DD games at Caesars...

    Depositing Cash While Traveling

    I agree with KJ about BOA as there are lots of locations in Vegas and main cities. However, some smaller towns, where there are casinos (mainly Indian ones) do NOT have a BOA. Chase is HORRIBLE. It's depositing that is an issue there. Almost ANY cash deposit requires identification and some...

    Excessive bids

    Still a good topic. Because stupidity reigns supreme in a casino environment. What is even harder sometimes (v. ignoring ignorant play) is when another ploppy/player at the table asks you how to play their hand pointedly. I try to demur or just answer basic strategy means but even that...

    Is there anyone left on this forum, or the other one that actually plays BJ?

    I'm really talking about the worsening of conditions, KJ. Less tables surrender; more 6-5; less tables; less seats to play; more shoes; less hand dealt games; etc. The same things you have seen over time.

    Is there anyone left on this forum, or the other one that actually plays BJ?

    I know this is a rhetorical question, but still playing but much more infrequently. Rules have changed for the worse. Casino offers better but doesn't make up for the tightening up of rules. And with capacity restrictions, it's also not as easy to find games.............even in Vegas. I mean...
