x2 here at least for my case, like for me i mainly remember stuff auditory but strangely enough i don't have to hear it, just 'say' it in my mind. been that way for me for over sixty years, lol, not likely to change that, easily.London Colin said:It works for those who can do it. But no amount of practice is going to make it work for those of us whose brains aren't wired up that way. We have to find other techniques.
not to say i can't remember stuff visually, but i gotta see it to remember it, rather than conjure up some visual scenario in my mind and then recall it.
not to say i can't conjure up some visual scenario in my mind and then recall it, just that it doesn't come naturally to me, as the auditory route does.
that was an interesting take that Richard Feynman had on this sorta thing.
in my case, just as aslan stated, it's the slow dealers that mess me up. and unfortunately the vast majority of the tables are slow as molasses.:flame:
whatever, just me maybe but i found the process of holding that count in my mind under the normally slow circumstances something akin to chinese water torture, lol. so pretty much unless it's a really fast game of short duration counting cards is a practice i've pretty much abandoned.
so i don't play much blackjack anymore, but if i do, i just mainly approach trying to find the advantage qualitatively rather than quantitatively, drawing upon what knowledge i have with respect to card counting, just sort of 'judging' the situation qualitatively, sorta thing. that's a whole other sort of skill, if you will, that needs to be developed through loads of practice, and unfortunately, not being an exact science it doesn't seem to work very reliably, lol.
