do they really have sd at the resorts and claridge? or is it 6-5?

It's 6:5

Still, if you play it right and there are 1-2 hands in the game it has a higher SCORE than the shoe game. That should tell you how bad the shoe game is.

re: aut. mon.

who would ever play the shoe game straight up? ive noticed youre a ct player, interesting... is it worth it driving 3.5hrs to ct instead of 2hrs to ac... becomes an issue of time, gas prices, and recognition. am i missing any unforseen advantageous situations?

 

[Automatic Monkey]

I'm in CT...

... so it's an issue of 1.5 hrs to the CT stores or 3 hrs to AC! So there is no reason at all for me to go to AC unless something special is planned. CT has LS, AC pen can be slightly better on the average than CT, but not a half deck better, and the LS rule is roughly equivalent in value to a half deck pen in a shoe game. Still, more games in AC means more opportunities for advanced techniques.

6 decks good pen?

Where did u find decent pen at Mohegan? Is it the $25 no-mid shoe or at the Earth casino?

You have to shop for it

Watch the dealers, find one who is cutting less than 1.5 decks, and have a seat.
