Different Strokes from Different Folks!

Not in Reno you don't. About half the stores tuck the discards to the bottom of the deck, no discard tray. Some of the dealers will hold their thumb longways across the side of the deck so you can't see where the yellow card is.
Never been to Reno
Funny, those 5 casinos probably think they are really doing something. I wonder if it slows down their dealing rate?:joker::whip: or if they lose customers because it looks funny compared to standard discard use.:joker::whip:
Because it makes Wonging out onerous in shoe games, especially 8D. You end up having to do deck estimation anyway, and if you're going to do that you might as well true count. Shoe sucks when you can't Wong out.
Sounds reasonable, I TC for all games and decisions
Depends. A spread for SD, DD and shoe are nothing like each other. Heat, table min/max, and whether or not you can play two hands all require significant changes.
Well, I guess if one is timed:joker::whip:
1 to 2 hand? Increase bet by 50% and spread it to 2 hands (talking regular bj). We obviously both know this, I don't consider it as another ramp.
We do both have different ramps for multiple games.
Plus if you are playing with a partner you now have a new BR. Not straightforward; for everything new I do I end up calculating a different ramp.
Sure, adding a partner bank is similar to recalculaing after a big win or loss if you resize. To resize your bank on wins and losses is not the same as different ramps for every game you come across. One would also find different penetrations of same games that should but does not have to require it's own bet ramp.
Sure, but then you're TC'ing all the time. No way you can use the same RC indices for SD, DD and shoe.
REKO uses 1 indice set for all games but then adds several indices for SD, one could choose to not add those indices or incorporate those into all decks.
I was looking over some of the unbalanced counts, but they seem to be half as good as halves!:joker::whip:
We seem to be similar in our styles of play. Sometimes you use RC because of a very specific situation and you are acutally simplifying things.
