I'm actually in the suburbs, less than 15 miles outside the city limits . . . have to say I'm pretty happy about the Eagles win today! (don't know if you're a football fan) In case you're a Steelers fan, I'm rooting hard for them to beat Dallas! I play mostly in Atlantic City and Reno, and have to say I much prefer the latter. I do go to Vegas frequently for work as well. Where do you play?
Haha thanks ChefJJ!! That arse (in my avatar) fortunately belongs to my girlfriend, who I'm currently trying to groom into an AP. As for now she's perfect for cover as the PB's really could care less about what the hell I'm doing when she's talking them up!
Because you're a phony and your posts are either inaccurate or just insulting to anyone who chooses to think. By the way sparky, I'd be willing to bet not only are you not a pro player, but reading your posts with your large bold pretty colored font, you are no old retired dude either. Just another "21" movie wannabe.
Yes, the back of the card shows a section for pairs. The splits that are only appropriate when DAS is available are noted in a different color as P* from the splits that are appropriate for NDAS games as well. It's an easy way to see the effect of DAS.
I have read Blackjack BB2 and it is very well written. I have mastered the Kiss counting strategy basic level with the advantage play above 20. In your estimation, for a typical 6 deck shoe game...how many shoes reach a count of 20? It seems to me to be about 1 out of every 2 or 3 will eventually hit 20. Does this seem correct? Also, if I am at a 15 doolar minimum table, would you say it is a good bet to raise my unit bet from 15 to 20 at counts of 17, 18, and 19?
Hey, I had to brag about it somewhere. Thank you for providing the opportunity!
Of course there was luck* involved. No, I’m not some sort of poker genius.
*With BJ we can calculate pretty much exactly what to expect. With poker I have NO IDEA what to expect, or even if that can be figured out. (Ssshhh, don’t tell Kasi!)
Hi,
Are you the same "Dan the Man" who appeared in a BBC documentary shown in the UK
quite recently who introduced the journalist Louis Theroux to bacarrat?
HaHa. I just came back here to see if you deleted my post yet. I was surprised to see you bragging about your poker win. I wonder if your really that good at poker or if it was beginners luck? Only time will tell. Happy trails.
From what I've read, learning to play poker is a lifetime project. BUT, last night, in only my sixth session, I won $139!! In blackjack terms, that would be a very modest win, but in my poker life so far, it was HUGE. Took me from being down $69 to being up $70. So I was very pleased with that.
