We made differing assumtions prior to posting and each is correct under those circumstances. To answer your last question; I personally wouldn't knowingly take advantage of a friend, co worker or boss, the later which could conceivably cost much more than $5,000. The OP in my opinion should...

Yes, I made the assumption this challenge could only be a fair match to both with no other players at the table either in a casino or at a kitchen table and would be played similar to a BJ tournament with a rotating button. I also assumed both players were intelligent and neither would agree to...

Semantics I used a poor choice of words in my original post, I should have stated "SELECTING table seating position based on this challenge is important only the first hand played when you should bet second (last)". I don't disagree with your example but that could occur hand 5, 29 or 103 at...

Qfit and others, Tournament Seating Position Recommended ??? Table seating position based on this challenge is important only the first hand played when you should bet second (last). This challenge includes an infinate number of hands so no prior knowledge is known when the final hand will...

Take 3rd base? If your boss is a tournament (player) expert as tthree suggests as an option, decline the bet! Actually if it's a 2 player table "winner takes all" match and a specific number of hands are not specified, seating is irrelevant as you will be betting last every other hand with no...

Qfit is Correct A tournament strategy is correct for you to win this bet if accepted, state to your boss (employer) "I'll give you the advantage to pick your seat first" then select a seat to his left. But, please reread the last sentence in Qfit's informative post paraphrased as, is winning...

??? I think Cardcounter was offering his opinion of the original question ask in this thread, "Is there a standard definition of a unit". Cardcounter was not responding in my opinion to the unasked question "How many units do I need to spread to win in a single deck game". Your answer...

Cool Kewl Although I rarely post here yet proficient using the KO unbalanced count, I'm a daily observer and appreciate your thoughful well written posts. Your thoughts regarding CP's aggressive behavior at the table are spot on, a true AP in my opinion would not bring attention to himself...

Hi Speed I agree but ZG's post appears to state basic strategy is a recent development based on simulations produced by hi speed computers, I believe BJ basic strategy was known and published prior to HP, Sony, Dell etc.

Not to deny your theory of when basic stratagy developed but I think it was prior to hi speed computer simulations although computer simulations (either hi or low speed) confirmed prior evaluations.

Actually the little metal signs are not tricky, they include all pertinent rules for that particular table. Buying in for $1,500 flat betting and losing 3 $500 bets is not an indication of heat that may be generated with a 50/500 spread which was the question. I saw a player flat bet $2,000 per...

The Golden Nugget is by far the nicest hotel/casino downtown including both rooms and restaurants, be sure you check the Grotto for a $$ lunch/dinner plus Vic and Anthony's for a $$$$ dinner especially if you're a rib eye lover. A $100 average X 4 hours per day will comp your room, $125 X 4...

you can get 86'd for not wearing a suit and tie to UK casinos.
