    Side counting A, 2 with KO

    Curious if this has been attempted or if it's worth it. KO "off the rack" has a BC of 0.98, PE of 0.55, IC of 0.78. KO without the A, 2 has a BC of 0.88, PE of 0.64, IC of 0.86. If I use KO "off the rack" for betting and then adjust my playing and insuring by adjusting the main count by the...

    Paid on a push

    I'll try to lay this out as clearly and fairly as I can. I'm looking for some feedback on the whole thing. I was dealt a pair of 9s. Dealer showed a 9. I split the 9s. I draw a 2 on the first 9 and double down into a 21. I draw a 10 on the second 9 and stand. The dealer flips and shows a...

    Different basic strategy factoring wonging out

    I'm curious if there is a different BS set that considers wonging out. Or, how would one generate such a strategy table? Maybe it exists... For example, 16 v 10. My understanding is that in a "play all" sense, hit 16 v 10. But if I'm not playing TC < -1, it would seem that standing would...

    TC to switch from 1 hand to 2 hands

    Is there a specific true count where it's time to switch from 1 to 2 hands? I did some research but could only find play 2 hands all the time. Does Casino Verite run this?

    Initial bet higher than minimum

    Had an experience recently where I was playing a 6d game with a $100 minimum bet for my spread. The RC tanked during the first deck to -6, TC -1 and I walked up $550. Question #1: did I unknowingly play that first deck starting with an advantage? I figure RC +6, TC +6 for that deck, ~3%...

    Ideal number of other players

    Is there an ideal maximum number of other players at the table? I play 6d games. My experience is that my best results are playing with one other civilian and the dealer. This could just be an aberration. It seems as though the count fluctuates less round to round with less players which...

    Playing with a players card

    Are there any books that discuss playing with a players card. I realize this might be a dumb question because anonymous is better.

    How are counters caught?

    Maybe we need a casino insider for this...are counters caught in the act or after the fact? In other words, is someone watching the table for large bets and when they happen, back checking the count? Or, does a player have a big win (repeated big wins) and then they go to the tape? I’m not sure...

    Keeping track of win/loss and playtime

    Hello all. First time post. I have been playing for a little while, BS and HiLo, with success. I am at the point where I would like to keep track of things. Obviously winning/losing but do I track that against play time, real time, or maybe shoes played. Guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
