    Tournament Play

    I haven't either, only other one I've got invited to had like a $200 buy-in, but I didn't go to it. I RSVP'd and I asked what th buy-in was....she said "There's noo buy-in."...

    Tournament Play

    So I got invited to a weekend BJ tournament that starts in a few weeks. I RSVP'd and apparently there's no buy-in, I got my room comped, and the payout structure is pretty nice, (1st place $60k, 2nd $20k, etc.), so I thought, "Why the hell not?!" Get away for the weekend and play some...

    Renewable bankroll RoR

    Here's one for you math guys to peck at.....for someone with a pretty big bankroll....let's say $15k+....go to your bank and there are plenty of different accounts...I ran into one, not a money market acount but an asset management account and it pays along the lines of 5.5%. I get my monthly...

    OK, here's my voodoo system

    I didn't say I won 40 UNITS, My unit was different every day. Meaning I started off buying in for $500 and my "unit" would be $25. And once I got profit, another session I would buy in for $2000 and have a $100 unit. And I over exaggerated by saying exact. And sorry for saying "EXACT" I was just...

    OK, here's my voodoo system

    So before I started getting into this AP thing...I used this EXACT method Gaucho has mentioned.....I turned $1000 into $13000 in about 10-15 sessions, and lost it all in 2 sessions....I thought I had came up with that voodoo system?!!!!!! I should have gotten the idea patented!!!! :laugh:

    Popping my AP cherry.

    My bankroll used to be $40k until I decided to invest 10k into something else. I'm purchasing a sim this week, which one do you recommend?.....Thanks SystemsTrader, for the bet spreads....:p I'll use them eventually....when I'm more prepared. You all are right, it does make sense to risk less...

    Thanks Zen. Well using KO I REALLY don't need to know anything more than I already know....correct? Other than practice, practice, practice, which is a given....I mean my basic strategy is 100% correct everytime with no hesitation, I have a spread of $50-$300 for wonging with less than a 1.5%...

    Yeah I watched that show...Deal or no Deal..some of those people get greedy!!! Take $300,000 or risk it all to either get a penny or a million....Do people know what that kinda money can do?

    Popping my AP cherry.

    Thank you stork....I thought I heard that KO outperformed Red 7 a number of times on this forum.....How would I calculate the my true edge if I stick with KO? Instead of jumping in at -4, I'm going to bet at -2. How can I calculate my edge....keeping in mind the game is H17? I've decided to put...

    Popping my AP cherry.

    Not anymore.....I'm trying to devote myself more to AP only now. All I'm shooting for is to double my $30k bankroll....but I've decided I'm going to purchase a sim because from what I hear it's an excellent investment and is really useful...I'll hold off my first session for another month or so.

    Popping my AP cherry.

    Did you mean 3.5 decks in play? So RC/(2 x amount of decks) = my advantage/disadvatage? Is the adjustment because of the H17 rule? What about the insurance count and all my other index plays.....would those change as well?! I'm confused. Wouldn't this change my exit points? So I basically...

    Popping my AP cherry.

    So last week I had my "practice round" of backcounting and getting a good feel for what I need to improve on for my game in a live casino environment. Tonight I'm staying at a casino and am strictly backcounting and am logging in my first REAL session!!! I'm extremely excited, and am having my...
