Hey all, just wanted to introduce myself. Not sure if this is the appropriate forum, if not if a moderator could please move it.
I'm a former poker player that became unbelievably bored with the game about 5 years ago. A little over a month ago I decided to get back in the casino and started studying blackjack. I've been in the casino a few times now, using KO Preferred. My bankroll is small (200 units, playing a bit like a hail mary BR) but able to be replenished. I've got BS down cold, and counting is far easier than I thought it would be. I'm comfortable playing heads up with a decently quick dealer.
One issue I've been running into is finding a decent game in my min bet range. Everything in my area is pretty terrible. Bad penetration, hit soft 17. Any pitch games pay 6:5 with bad pen, H17 as well. Min bets are typically 2-3 units for me. The only time I've been having success is wonging in and out.
Any tips or suggestions to increase my advantage? I don't see adding more indexes as giving enough of an advantage to make it worthwhile. Anyone else been down this road before?
Thanks!
Lefty
