    Blackjack from home

    Are there any blackjack simulators that I can train on from the comfort f my own home on my laptop? I want to practice playing against a half shoe.

    Harrah's in SoCal just changed all their shoe games (8 Deck) to 6:5 Blackjack which should now be called 21! =)

    Let’s stop giving them our business. That will show them

    Thoughts about this game?

    A 1.5-2 deck shoe game being described as a “great game” really shows how blackjack has evolved over the years.

    there’s no sense in wasting mental energy venting about AP’s killing your game. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened and it certainly won’t be the last.

    6:5 BJ

    6 to 5 blackjack still has a lower house edge than roulette. For the ploppies I don’t think it’s such a huge difference.

    ID requests

    Yeah, it’s no big deal. Some properties will ID and others won’t. Just gotta play the places that won’t bother you. I played a 20 minutes session (one shoe) at one of these joints and peeled them for $8,500. In that short time they called down a supervisor to look at my play and they asked me...

    ID requests

    Yeah, basically every shoe is hit and run here because if you play two shoes you’re likely to get backed off and 3 shoes a heavy favorite.

    ID requests

    it seems like it’s impossible to play anonymously in the city.

    hole carding

    My understanding of the exhibit CAA book is that it will tell you what to do with the information rather than how to obtain the information.

    I’m glad to hear that you started off on a positive note. Run that baby to 6 figures

    Steep loses early on(44 hours)

    Blackjack is a weak game. I suggest playing only the best games possible and / or finding something better to do to occupy your time.

    Would you rather count cards professionally or pick up animal poop at the zoo? The more I play the game the more I lean toward the ladder.

    1,000 hour break even

    I understand, I think that the monetary goal for this session helped me get in the hours in this case because what I’ve found is that I will take a hit and then kind of scurry away and hide like a battered dog. i completely realize that it’s just one long session and the more that the edge is...

    1,000 hour break even

    KJ, to answer your question I don’t know what my previous ATH was in relation to my EV and it’s not something I want to try to guess at. I had a friend of mine try to help me figure it over a period of time but there were so many changing variables that it became more head ache than it was...

    1,000 hour break even

    Not remarkable at all on its own. When I was full time I wouldn’t have thought anything of it. When I lose now I don’t see it as -$375 I see it as -$38,375, -$41,375.
