I haven’t been practicing my BS and counting for very long, but I wanted to go ahead and give it a test run before I invested anymore time in learning a trade that wasn’t going to be a good fit for me. I’d also like to add that I was very skeptical coming into this project considering the fact that I tend to be a very “unlucky” person.
I deviated from some of the things that I learned from my research on AP, but like I said I just wanted to get a feel for the game (I’ve never actually played BJ at a casino). I haven’t read the books or learned any of the advanced strategies. I don’t even count as fast as recommended; I average about 28-30 sec. a deck. I could go on and on about all the mistakes that I made (as I’m sure all of you will).
I won’t bore everyone with the minor details, but overall the night was a success. I am now more than confident that I should continue on with my research/study.
I also want to thank all the active members for the invaluable advice given on this forum. Without this site, I would be another clueless ploppy.
Sidenote: At max, the discard would have 3 decks, could I safely assume I’m working with a 4D shoe? Or were they just being bastards with only a 50% penetration? I was unsure, so I’m embarrassed to admit that I abandoned my card counting efforts and continued on playing with just BS. Thanks again.
