I'm curious about this.
Every book on BJ says you must first learn BS and then start to learn to count.
But ,for many folks,learning the last few combos of BS is difficult and takes quite a bit of time. Even after you have mastered it,you are still playing a negative expectation game.
My thoughts were that if you took a simpler,less powerful strategy such as MGM,which can be memorzed in about an hour(only 8 simple rules) and then learned a simple counting system(KISS or OPP)that takes a week or so to really get down,you would have a better chance at the tables.As time goes on,you then add the various BS combos that MGM leaves out and advance to KISS 2,and 3.
It seems this would be an easier and more profitable
way of learning the game.
It seems to me that knowing when the decks are in your favor and you should bet more is more valuable than knowing that you should double your A/4 vs.4 instead of hitting it.Knowing when to take insurance is more important than the above hand,simply because the situation presents itself much more frequently,imho.
My thoughts are that someone who learns a system like MGM and KISS would be prepared to play much,much quicker than someone who goes the traditional route.
Thoughts,please.
You'd invest much less time at the beginning and be playing,instead of spending hours and hours simply drilling yourself on BS and counting out endless decks of cards.
