Single or double deck game that is dealt not using a shoe. Dealer holds cards in hands and "pitches" (deals) the cards to the players.

My wife loves slots and I think they should all be thrown in the ocean. Occasionally I get her to play BJ and I stand behind her and watch. We have a series of signals on how to play each hand and how much to bet. We (she) can get away with a pretty aggressive spread using this ploy.

I think we are all saying the same thing to a certain degree. What is the "long run"??? Who the heck knows. Is it 5k, 50k 500k hands? I have no clue. Can we just let this concept die on the vine???:)

As I stated in an earlier post I think we as AP's have an advantage everytime we play a quality game. I agree with Creeping Panther that this is a game of "sessions". I just think the "long run" is a BS concept. And...to package it in a time frame is dangerous. However, I believe that if...

No...Renzey is the author and very well respected by many in here. I have not read his material but heard only good things. However, I was surprised to see Flash discount his work. Flash has had many great contributions to this board but... he may have an elitist attitude in that if you...

I was just curious as I have not read this material. Thanks.

No, I was simply implying that we never see the "long run" based on sim play of billions of hands. Which you will never see in your lifetime. It depends on what your definition of is is. :laugh: Short run...long run...it doesn't matter because we always have an advantage every time we play...

Flash...why do you say Blackjack Bluebook II should be avoided?

Well, not only playing with a larger BR but playing with a higher advantage. i.e A big player will only get called in when the count is high.

I've had my greatest spreading opportunities on the graveyard shift. Both the pit and the dealers appear to be in a trance much like the Night of the Living Dead. Perhaps they are thinking about that one glorious day when they land a job on the strip and can finally leave that hole.

I would expect that the two reviews probably came from the same IP address.

Yeah...Creeping Panther is right. You will NEVER see the "long run" in your lifetime.

Or...Grosjean plays Grosjean.:)

Ok...let me re-phrase that. Not at a $5 max table.
