I know what you all mean, I get in arguements with dealers all the time about hitting a soft 18 versus 9-ace. I've tried to explain to them that not hitting that soft 18 is like just giving your money away. But somehow in thier twisted little minds soft 18 is a good hand, but versus 9-ace it is...

Man with 80% penetration you should be able to destoy those casinos. Penetration and bankroll are WAY more important than number of decks anyway.

Yeah suprizingly those indexes are just the illustrious 18 which i have memorized. One more thing though, I discovered what to do about those skyrocketing "fake" counts as I call them. There is a section in KO about when to leave the table, say after 1 deck is played in an 8 deck game and the...

Thank you Ken for finally talking about the 18 in blackjack, I get into more arguments with players as well as dealers for hitting the soft 18 versus a 9 10 or 11, and doubling down on a soft 18 versus a 3 thru 6. They just can't get it thru thier thick skulls that a soft 18 should be looked at...

You summed it up yourself man, what you had was a STREAK. CSM machines are the devil and a legal cheating tool for casinos.

I use Ko Blackjack exclusively and I don't modify the IRC. For me it's pretty good for two reasons. You don't have to worry about the true count because it always equals the running count, and you give up very little theoretical gain because of its simplicity. I do use it at casinos, so far i've...

I'm a bit of a weirdo, I count each card as it comes out. Then I check my count after all the cards are out by cancelling pairs. I know it sounds hard but after a while you get used to it.

Looks like i'm gonna have to take a trip to Tunica, some of those games look quite enticing. Ken i have a question for you. Wherever i play the dealer let's me virtually cut where i please within reason. I understand what penetration is (the more you have the better your chances are),so are you...

Well Ken, at all the casinos i have played at the dealer deals to the cut card, so that's what i'm referring to. Come to Indiana and play at trump, resorts or magestic. I play 6 deck there and they let me cut ALMOST wherever i want. Sometimes i can get a cut less that 1 deck!! Ouch to the casinos!!

The most ive won is about $1000, that was last week. I win consistently counting, about $2000 a week average.

Usual penetration is whatever you put it at, though good penetration is 75%. Here's what i usually do to keep that 75% penetration going when i'm playing with others. After the shoe is shuffled, I say to the others at the table, " Can I please cut, I'm feeling lucky today.". Nine times out of...

What i usually do when someone does that to me is, after i play as crazy as possible like standing on 10's vrs. a 6, and splitting 10's vrs. a dealer's 6. Usually the person that offended you get's so ticked off he leaves the table.

Well i'll just say this, I use the KO count and it works pretty well. As far as percentage advantages goes if you played some of the worst blackjack games there were out there to play, the casinos advantage on those games would only be about 2 percent at best. 2 percent doesn't sound like much...
