No, not LIA's friend. I asked a simple question and appreciate you having spent the time to provide me with helpful information. R1

Don't know who LIA is, don't really care. I'm new to the board and have less than six posts. As I said in my original introduction, I attended Robert's school of black jack back in the 70's. Yes, he taught computer sim'd strategies but, I have missplaced most of his handouts and thought this...

Yes, it's a great help. Thanks for the answer.
