Thursday i will be staying at a casino playing DD. Rules H17,DAS Min. bet is $25. I was planning on bringing $4000 i think that should be plenty for 4-6 hours of play? I was going to play all, and spread my bets 1-6units. But i was thinking maybe i should only play at counts above -1tc. I know i will missing out on a lot of positive shoes because once i am out i cannot get back in the game until the next shoe is dealt. Double deck games seem to go positive most shoes even after being quite negative. They only have one DD game. This way i will avoid most of the negative EV. Also i was thinking i could spread my bets from 2-8 units if i am wonging out at -1. Keep in mind im also playing for the comps which are excellent.. How would you guys play this?? thank

Whenever you describe a game ALWAYS include the %pene estimate. Wong out when you can and don't worry about it going posi after. Also, see if you can skip a round and still stay in the shuffle. You don't need to exit religiously @ -1, just avoid it as often as possible with drawing heat.

Also, detirmine if you can spread to two hands in mid-round. zg

The penetration is 60-75% dealer dependent. I can enter mid-shoe when I want and spliting to two hands is fine. Im not sure if i can come back in after skipping a round at this casino. I will usually just play all on DD games, but i was wondering if that is hurting my ev? Last time i was there i played heads up about 75% of the time. Forcing me to play through all the negative cards. I have considered using your 'grifter's gambit", i'm not sure if I can play the min x3 hands. When i played there a month ago there was no heat whatsoever.

Grifter's Gambit requires a larger BR. zg
