Can a casino kill a hand after a card has been dealt? Not for a mistake or irregularity, but just as a countermeasure? Does the answer vary by state?

Very helpful! Thank you

When an AP says they are on a "100 hour down swing", does that mean that it's been 100 hours since they reached a new all time high (but still had winning sessions during that time)? Or does that mean that they haven't had a winning session in 100 hours?

Any advice on how to go about finding AP's in my area (south Jersey) to train with, share local tips, trade stories? The north east section of the forum seems pretty dead.

$4000 Bankroll (adding a few hundred/month as I go). Right now I can only play at 6.25/8 deck shoe games (15 min,) but they are all 3/2 and all offer surrender. I usually have 4-6 tables I can move around on. I always wong out as soon as I get-1 TC. If I go up to $25 Min. I can get a 6 deck shoe...

Thanks guys.

I'm using cvcx to determine bet size and focusing on keeping RoR as low as possible. It's interesting you mentioned the sweet spot. I was surprised to see that risk goes up when I'm betting too low a well as too high. I assumed, the lower my big bet the less chance I would ruin. I like the...

That is what I'm attempting. My initial bankroll is small but I've started adding to it regularly from my weekly expendable spending money and from winning (I've experienced very positive variance in my first 20 hours at the tables and my AV is far exceeding my EV). My initial ROR was 37%. (I...

Is the general recommendation to wait until you have a bankroll large enough to reduce ROR to under 2%?

Looking to make a run at part time AP. Most AP's say they never play with a ROR above 2%. This seems nearly impossible unless you already have a substantial bankroll (which I do not) My small bankroll is expendable and I have a steady source of income from which I can add $$ to my bankroll...

These scenarios are very interesting. I'll post if I get a chance to try this in a future similar situation

Great advice. Never knew that "top off" option existed. Everytime I think I'm starting to gain some knowledge about this game I realize how much I don't know. Very grateful to this community.

Twice in the past few sessions I've seen 2 different players double for less... even though they had the chips for a full double. Is there some sort of math (maybe at fractional true counts?) that makes this a correct move?

Why do most bet spread switch to 2 hands at the upper level? Is 2 hands of $200 better EV than 1 have of 400? If so, why not play 2 hands through entire bet spread where table minimums allow it?
