It seems to me that more and more properties are making their $25 + games NMSE. This combined with the deteriorating BJ conditions in AC and large crowds, is making playing AP blackjack very difficult. I haven't seen any casinos offering any game with better than 75% penetration as of late. Pretty discouraging to say the least.
Wonging a dying art in AC

There are a couple of ways to handle this.
1. Don't avoid H17 games. The gap between H17 and S17 closes quite a bit at high counts, so if you find an open seat in a fast moving game with good pen at H17 don't hesitate to hammer it. There is really no bad game that can't be made into a good game with backcounting.
2. Don't sweat having to play Wong-out instead of Wong-in-Wong-out. It isn't that much less profitable.

Bigger Spreads.... Play All... Pee/Answer phone when it really goes south (but leave the chips on the table). You DO know you can win at negative counts. (assuming full index play). Also the "velocity" at which the deck is going negative can make for some good negative TC rounds. I'm starting to believe excessive wonging does more harm than good.
The real TC is measured at the bankroll.

Caesars. I played last weekend on Saturday from 11 am to 8 pm with a few breaks. They have mid shoe entry 6 deck on $25 table. I haven't posted much lately, but I am still playing. I had a fantastic day, wish I had known about this sooner.... It was a great experience and great people who left me alone while I wonged in and out excessively all day and night. This was my best play experience counting to date (1 year total).

Blue, I clearly know the difference, I have played enough Ballys and Harrahs games of 8 deck to know the difference, and Caesars is 8 deck, and I am not going to post exactly where the $25 6 deck tables are located. They are there and I do know the difference and in fact I play the game quite well. I just don't talk as much as other posters. I come here to learn where others have more experience than myself. The count variance alone shows a big difference in the amount of decks dealt. They have only 6 deck in the high roller room at HARRAHS.
