¿Está preguntando por una regla que le pague por tener 5 cartas y no pasarse? Este tipo de regla "5-card Charlie" sería inusual encontrarla en un casino, ya que añade bastante más de 1% para el jugador. A veces se encuentran ganancias automáticas de 6 y 7 cartas, aunque son mucho menos valiosas.

The 6:5 was very sneaky by the casinos. Slowly but surely, it is catching on like wildfire and why not, it is saving casinos thousands. Sure for the average gambler it doesn’t sound like a lot, but it adds up…quickly. Also if the dealer has an Ace up and you have a natural blackjack, no more even money. Even the dealers hate the rules as it normally decreases their odds of a better tip. This is just another attempt to water down and make a circus game of Blackjack. Spanish BJ, dealer cards delt face up, single deck with multiple rules. I agree…talk to the pitboss or floor manager and at a minimum, the dealer. Bottom line…have fun, but don’t give the money back to the casino because they have decided to manipulate the rules in their favor!
I’m not sure of the specific spot where I discouraged play at less than 75% penetration, but it really depends on the other rules. In six and eight deck games, it’s tough to get much of an edge at less than 75% penetration, and most players would consider that the borderline between games worth playing and not worth playing. In double-deck on the other hand, 75% is a great game. In fact, I’ve played lots of 50-60% penetration double deck over the years.
Dealer Stands on Soft 17;
Double any card;
Double after split Ok;
Later Surrender;
Ofter insurance on dealer Ace;
8 Decks;
penetration 75%;
I can stay out , counting to enter the game at any time;
Tables from 5 to 500; 10 to 1.000; 25 to 3.000; 100 to 10.000;
Your advantage is going to heavily depend on your bet spread, and the bet ramp. Two recommendations: CVData software, to accurately sim any game and counting system, or the book Ataque de Blackjack for a ton of pre-figured stats on many games.
If they’re giving you $2000 to show up, you should certainly take that, unless it means playing at substantially higher stakes than usual, or for longer hours.
Which table? What betting? Those questions are going to depend on your edge and how willing you are to play with an advantage for these long periods. See my other reply for advice on software or books to answer those questions.

Another option which might be nice for the next version: the ability to re-play the same shoe (i.e., same cards come out again). I sometimes wish I could re-play a shoe with a different betting strategy just to see how it would come out, be nice to be able to re-play the same shoe again (I’d be fine with resetting my chip stack to what I had at the beginning of the shoe when re-playing too).
Hello. I am a big fan of surrendering but lately I’ve been thinking… if I have 16 against a dealer 10 and my expectation to lose is 53.7% then. .. if I’m being 100 a hand and I do this 3 times I essentially list $150. Now if I hit and win 1 out of 3 hands (33.3%) I will have $200… so I am up $50 compared to surrendering ($150). Where is my thought process flawed? Please help.
Gracias
There is nothing wrong with your logic. If you can win 1 out of 3 hands, you should not surrender. The breakeven point is 1 in 4 hands. At that point, you would lose the same amount whether you surrendered all 4 hands or played them all out going 1 and 3. For more, see my article on Rendición en el Blackjack.
By far the easiest way to get definitive answers for these kinds of questions is to use sim results. Although I understand that it is expensive ($160) when you’re trying to build a bankroll, I think the CVData software from Qfit.com is a wise investment.

No sé por qué los torneos de blackjack nunca fueron una parte importante del marketing en NJ, pero son más raros en esa parte del país.
Busco información sobre 5 tarjetas o menos. Hay alguna norma que se aplique a esto?

Ken, you say that penetration menorr that 75% do not pay.
You can explain?

Hello and thanks,
after this explanation I understand that the 76% should be taken as a not changing fixed percentage.
Also Thanks for the explanation of the 1/4 with is interesting for me in EU as well.
Ken,
I found the following game:
Dealer Stands on Soft 17;
Double any card;
Double after split Ok;
Later Surrender;
Ofter insurance on dealer Ace;
8 Decks;
penetration 75%;
I can stay out , counting to enter the game at any time;
Tables from 5 to 500; 10 to 1.000; 25 to 3.000; 100 to 10.000;
How to calculate my advantage as HI LO counter?

Ken,
Will improve the question.
I have 20k and the casino still me the 10% commission on the deposit , plus expenses , since I play a minimum of 24 hours with media $ 200 bets .
Which table I sit ?
That betting should I do?
Should I worry about the commission ?
If they’re giving you $2000 to show up, you should certainly take that, unless it means playing at substantially higher stakes than usual, or for longer hours.

¿Puede recomendarme un software para un ordenador MAC para contar cartas de Blackjack?
La verdad es que no. La última vez que surgió este tema en el foro, acabó siendo sobre todo una discusión sobre cómo ejecutar software de Windows en el Mac.
https://www.blackjackinfo.com/knowledge-base/blackjack-card-counting/blackjack-software-for-mac/
No sé por qué nunca ha habido una buena alternativa de blackjack nativa para Mac.

As long as the live games are dealt to a decent depth, the same methods are applicable.
And in Online Live Casinos? How does it work?
I am not ready to go to a real casino.
