DonR, please give my thread a visit: http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showthread.php?t=13177 You're not alone, and read how it turned out for me with time :)

Finn Dog, thanks very much :) I'm no king, the true kings are here on this board who helped me and explained to me the reality of this. I made it all back and more at the same 8-deck battleground! On a personal level, I wouldn't want it any other way. It felt damn good! I'm currently in...

sagefr0g, this is very true. I am very aware of the risk of ruin... i had to learn the hard way in my other thread... that experience matured me. So I am mentally and financially prepared for this trip and I know that I could come back losing... I am just depending on the mathematical odds on my...

I thought I should update this thread for all those who remember the horrible phase I was in when I posted it. I'd like to share the great news that I was able to make all the money back back and am actually up $10,000 now... it was not easy... especially emotionally... but I did it... and...

iCountNTrack, thanks again. What is a good BJ simulator that I can purchase. And thanks for the details. Matt21, in my other thread (http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showthread.php?t=13177), my current game and play, I was told to expect $80/hour after Pelerus (member here) did a sim... so I'm...

iCountNTrack, I see... also another thing i just thought about was having to cound down 8 decks of a bad shoes compared to only 4 being bad also for the card counter. So how much percent of advantage does the card counter have would you say, and is it worth the trip? I'm paying a $450 plane...

Thanks for your response sagefr0g, but didn't I already do at the start of this thread? As for simulating, i have no idea how to do that. Can anyone help me with this. I really enjoy how helpful you are here, I can't wait to report back from this trip! :)

iCountNTrack, thanks so much for your encouraging response! I'd love it if you could explain why it is better, just so I have an idea.

Blue Efficacy, I'm counting cards. And the penetration on both games is about 75% to 80%. Can you explain how I'll be seeing more high cards, if the true count is what really matters.. And is it really worth it going to this city with the game i mentioned above. shadroch, yes I'm of course...

shadroch, thanks for responding. But I wanted to know which of the games i mentioned above is better, and why.

I posted a question not too long ago about a horrible experience (http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showthread.php?t=13177) and I was told the game I was playing was bad in the responses. The casino I was playing at when I posted that above mentioned thread had the following game: 8 decks...

I got a comp card when I first started card counting at the casino. There is only one casino near me, and I can't travel much. In the beginning I didn't think it was a big deal and enjoyed getting free parking, buffet, and hotel stays. I would hand in my comp card everytime I cashed in for the...

First and foremost I apologize for not updating this thread in such a long time, life got in the way. :) Secondly, I would like to thank all of you for the very detailed and passionate responses, especially FLASH1296 and Kasi (for simplifying what SD is). FLASH1296, to answer your...

Thanks for the encouragement EasyRhino, it's good to know that even a pro could find himself in similar predicaments. Just more of a reason to keep going strong even through these frustrating streaks. PrinceDragon, thanks for your VERY detailed response and I am very grateful for your...

Hi Everybody, I started counting cards back in August. I practice rigourously and regularly by using Casino Verite and frequenting casinos every weekend. I am able to count a deck down in less than 20 seconds and very rarely make any mistakes in my count. I am using the Hi-Lo system with...
