Thanks I'm actually from Canada so woon't worry about the exchange rate but it sounds like the games are not great. I'm doing my best to stick to $5 and $10 tables until I can add more to my bankroll. I'll be sure to check the casinos on both sides of the 49th out but will likely not play...

I'll be heading to Niagara Falls,ON in late September. Where can I find info on blackjack conditions there?

No worries I can understand how that can happen. So, no problem. And thanks for the compliment. I do appreciate all the feedback. This community is awesome and as a result, my playing is better than ever. BTW, had a session today (good result) but am continually amazed at the plays people make...

Not what I meant I'm not sure you understood my comment on the bonehead play. Mayor said: "This is basic strategy, and completely correct play. If you have some mythology or don't know basic strategy, you are going to be a loser at the tables. It is easiest to blame losing on other people...

Thank you Awesome idea. Thank you. I'll start watching the shuffles very carefully next week so I can recreate at home. Thanks for the idea.

Where Can I Get Info I could probably add one or both techniques to my game. Any suggestions on available sources of info on these?

What I thought Thanks, guys. It's just a p*** off, that's all. In retrospect, I am actually proud of the way I played yesterday as I didn't go 'chasing' my losses with big bets in the next shoe when it wasn't called for. And today I don't feel too too bad so I guess I'm learning and will take...

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if there's something I should be looking out for during positive counts that would tell me to run. I was playing yesterday and was holding my own for a while. The next shoe (4 decks 80%pen, 3 other players at table), the count goes positive after about 3/4 of a deck...

Speaking of hammered I hear ya, it happened again last night. Had a 2 hour session that just kept going to heck. Twice made a comeback to get to within $100 of even but I just wasn't getting winning hands in those high counts. Last bet of the night - 2 hands of $50 each (count was super-duper...

Yipee ZG and AM, I really appreciate your responses. I'll stick with the system I'm using now. 2 things I need to get better at are having confidence in the amount I bet - sometimes get chicken when the count calls for 10 units and I'm getting hammered, and learning to accept my losses (that's...

Further The KISS 3 tags: tens, faces and aces -1, black 2's, 3, 4, 5 ,6,7 are +1, but the indices are halved from what I reported above. So, to confirm, I'm OK with the system I'm using? One further question: your advice on 3 hand spread on final round, where I play, if you play more than 2...

Thanks, one last thing.. I like the method I'm currently using, but do you think I'd get any more benefit out of using the "textbook UBZ2" or even the Brh system? By using the hybrid am I hurting my edge at all? Thanks again.

This is what I do For 4 decks, I start my unbalanced count at 26, using the UBZ2 tags, I start ramping the bets at a running count of 40. A running count of 44 would be +2 true. Here's how I modified the KISS index numbers: Insurance at 50 8 vs. 5 double @ 50 8 vs. 6 double @42 9 vs. 2 double...

Hi everyone, I have been using a hybrid version of UBZ2 and Fred Renzey's KISS count. I use the UBZ2 tags and the indices from the KISS III system in Blackjack Bluebook 2. I've been having reasonable success but am always looking for ways to improve my time at the stores. Conditions here: 4...
