Hello everyone,
First off, if it's not obvious, I am new to this board and fairly new to AP. I have known how to count cards for a few years although I never put much time or attention into mastering the skill to take to casinos. The last few months I have been studying a lot on card counting and feel I am getting close to being able to start red chipping in the casinos. I would estimate approximately 80 - 100 hours of serious counting practice at home the last few months.. I feel my prior knowledge of counting helped accelerate my practice a little bit when I started.
My local casino rules are not the greatest but not the worst. 3:2, 6D, H17, DS, DA, split aces 1x, RS4, 80-90% pen depending on the dealer. I plan to play all and spread between $10 - $80 or $10 - 2 x 40... You have to double table minimum to play two hands. Table minimum is $10.
My question is at what true count should you get your MAX bet out? I've seen between TC3 & TC5. Here's a quick reference of what I had in mind and wanted to know your thoughts based on the game I mentioned above.
TC <= 1: $10
TC 2: $30
TC 3: $50
TC 4+: $80; or 2 x 40
Not sure if I am getting my MAX bet out too quickly since I plan to start out very conservative while I gain more experience. My initial bankroll is $5k but once I have more experience, I plan to increase this to $20k or more depending on if/ what the initial bankroll amounts to.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
