Interesting route to plug a non blackjack book.!

What happened to this then.???

Crack on fella.x

As I've only ever used TKO I would agree with XG that it is marginally stronger than Hi-lo but as KJ stated the info regarding index plays is already at your fingertips for the latter. I had to customize a lot for my count.

Ive had six months away from tables and forums.....this place has got interesting again.!!o_O

Totally agree. I have S.17 but ENHC. I ignore +1

Chuckle.:p

If you're moving up to 4/6 deck games I would learn to true count K.O or move to Zen.

Its the norm to pay these hands as 21. 3:2 being on first 2 cards only.

I would say raising your bet at +1 is usually a mistake let alone putting out what appears to be your Max bet. I play ENHC so all my games are around the .50 area HE and I only start raising at +2. I have S.17 which makes our games similar. You're going to lose money.

Dont agree. I hate gambling. Don't much like casinos either. If everything went CSM tomorrow I would walk away. Up until 5 years ago, and a chance meeting I had never bet on anything in my life. My mentor told me it was my strongest asset. If I couldn't play with an edge I would never lay money...

You can't unless he wants to. Same with any addiction. You won't find many gamblers on here. I spend hours in Casinos each week and I view it as a well paid hobby. I could walk away tomorrow without hesitation. There are helplines with trained addiction councillors that would be able to help you...
