I am occasionally in the Kansas City area and the few casinos I have gone to didn't offer games that seemed beatable but then again it has been awhile. Apparently they have done away with the $500 loss limit in Kansas City and when reading this article I noticed this interesting bullet...

Does anyone know if it might be a higher EV move to double down on a BJ if you are playing a 6:5 game? Seems like treating it as an 11 and doubling might yield better results than a 6:5 payout in some cases, ie high count and the dealer showing a 5 or a 6. I realize the smart move would be...

Hello everyone. I am going to be playing in a H17, 6D, DAS, DOA LS game in the near future. I haven't played many surrender games so I'm brushing up on my indices for LS. Looks like the BS for this one includes Surr 15 vs A, 17 vs A, and 8,8 vs A as well as the other usual suspects. My...

Hey there. Going to be in the albequerque area in the near future and was wondering if there was anything I should know. According to one website I checked out the rules look pretty good and they even offer $2 tables? Is the penetration crap or even worse do they use CSMs? Just wanted to...

Hello. This is probably a dumb question but I am having trouble getting my puny brain to grasp the concept of doubling a 10 vs the dealers 10 even when the count is sky high. I have no doubt that it is the right thing to do mathematically I just can't understand the logic behind it. Most...

Played a game at a local church/carnival. I know it was crap rules but money went to charity. I'm just curious if it there was even a chance of being beatable. All rules very generous: S17, 2 deck, about 75% pen, split anything DAS, all the usual Vegas rules AND blackjack paid a full 2 to 1...

Never got near the table max before but wondering what is the general casino policy on this. Say the table max is $500 and you have a $500 bet out. Can you still double down an additional $500 or have you technically already reached the maximum bet and you will not be allowed to double?

I have been using this to work on my basic strategy and I must say it has helped quite a bit, but I'm wondering how automatic it should feel and how good is casino ready? (Dead link: http://www.blackjack-bst.com) The best I have gotten time-wise was 499 seconds with 1 mistake. The best...

Let me preface this by saying I'm fairly new to counting and haven't had much time on the felt but have been studying like mad and hope to join the ranks of the great AP players on this site. Anyway, my area offers Spanish 21 as well as blackjack and I have learned BS for both and have got...

Hey all. Fairly new to the world of couting and AP and just returned from a trip to Vegas. I did fairly well with my amateur counting at the "real" tables but also wandered around when they were too crowded and tried my luck at some of the video blackjack machines, which I thought would be...
