    Question for seasoned profitting Black Jack players (2 deck or 6 deck?)

    I only play rated at the one place within the chain. So if I get backed off, the other places should be available (playing unrated) after a short break (avoiding a possible flyer). I have been backed off at most of the casinons within the chain with no ill effects at the one I play rated at. And...

    Question for seasoned profitting Black Jack players (2 deck or 6 deck?)

    First off, they don't contribute to national databases so the risks of playing rated are reduced. Secondly, I never play there more than once per month and am careful to rotate days and shifts. Thirdly, I limit my wins. Fourthly, I do things to minimize the appearance of how much I win. Fifthly...

    Question for seasoned profitting Black Jack players (2 deck or 6 deck?)

    Longevity is important to me and I seem to enjoy grinding more than most full-time pros. I've been playing full-time for five years and don't like to travel beyond a five-state region (that includes Nevada). I've totalled 4,000 hours and $600k in winnings during this time. I'll admit I do play a...

    Question for seasoned profitting Black Jack players (2 deck or 6 deck?)

    With double-deck games especially, I would say you have to know your venues, their tolerances, and what you can get away with. For instance, I've won 80k playing just double deck at Red Rock in Vegas over a 4-year period and am still allowed to play there with full comps (yes, playing rated). A...

    Is there anyone left on this forum, or the other one that actually plays BJ?

    Related to ZenKing just in the sense of giving him a hard time every once in a while.
