u should see these deeply dealt 6 deck games i am playing (standard cut is 1 deck but I have seen as little as .5 cut off). hit double digit true counts several times, although I haven't had toooo many opportunities to make super wacky plays like standing on 15 v 9 (TC + 8) or doubling 7 v 6 (TC + 9). may have lost the store by playing heads up against a dual rate who turned out to be not just another (very) pretty face but we'll see.

(standard cut is 1 deck but I have seen as little as .5 cut off''
OMG this is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet. At my place i get regular 1.5 decks but some dealers do it like 1.2

hit double digit true counts several times, '' wow WHAT? congrats man

not the U.S.A. i am guessing. if u r in the usa i would blast this game don't think is gonna be around for a lot of time

If u r NOT in the USA i ll strive for longevity here man
I def need to work on those indexes all i do is insurance at TC +3 LOL!

although I recommend holding off on the ten splitting until higher true counts than the strictly EV maximizing play. That way you get most of the gain in EV without most of the heat or variance.

gl with the pretty face too lol

yeah i don't split tens F that

you pretty much have to split tens at TC +9, there is just too much money to be made. Probably 8, 9, 10 (for 6, 5, 4) is where I would split.

ploppies will kill me if i do that and ''screw''their hands in the process lol

going tonight gonna wong out merciless spreading 1-10

hey omaha i wong out at tc -2 should i wait to for the tc to be -3 or i am good wonging out at tc -2?

u r good wonging out at tc -2. it also depends on the availability of fresh shoes, and another factor is crowdedness of the table you are leaving or the table you are going to. but as a general guide line tc -2 is fine and tc -3 is probably waiting too long.

cool thanks i am gonna start talking to the pretty faced waitresses while i am wonging out should make a nice part of my act lol

Are you using the proper basic strategy for your games? You are from Europe? Is your casino ENHC (European No Hole Card) with the dealer taking any splits and doubles if they get blackjack? Is there a surrender option available?

''Are you using the proper basic strategy for your games?''

Yes, got it from stanford wong's blackjack secrets

'' Is your casino ENHC (European No Hole Card)''

Yes, double exposure dealer no hole card

''with the dealer taking any splits and doubles if they get blackjack?''

i don't understand.
I can split as much as i want, and double after splitting on whatever i want >>> nice right?

Yes Early surrender and i exploit it as much as i can

I went last night wonged out very nicely
I won 12 units.
Spreaded 1-5 couldn't reach my max bet (10units)

Yesterday a ploppy split tens like 4 times lol

"Yes, double exposure dealer no hole card "

what?

if you double down on 11, catch a ten, then dealer pulls a blackjack do you lose one bet or two? if it is the latter you are playing ENHC and the proper basic strategy is not to double or split against a ten or ace, except AA vs T.

88 vs T i surrender
88 vs 9 i split

hey omaha i wanna start keeping a separate count for the aces, think i am almost ready to do that but what do i do with the info say i know the pack is rich in aces
this system is the opt1 hi lo but i don't wanna read whole books to know what to do could u explain to me what to do with the separate count in a couple of sentences

you only need a separate ace side count for single or double deck. I do not recommend an ace side count for the shoe game as there is too little value and it is too difficult to do and will lead to errors in your main count.

For double deck I keep a side count of aces using hi lo, as it is very important for your insurance decisions. I count aces as a, b, c, d, e, f, g and h (if u get to i you ****ed up). Then when you are making an ace based decision you decide if the deck is ace rich or ace poor and adjust your decision accordingly. For example :

.5 of a deck has been dealt out, leaving 1.5 decks remaining. The running count is +3 and your ace side count is c (3 aces have been played). The deck is ace poor to the tune of one ace, so for your insurance decision you now temporarily +2 to the running count, and are left with a temporary running count of +5. You then divide the RC by decks remaining, or 1.5, and get 3.3 and take insurance (you take insurance at TC +2 in double deck instead of TC +3 as in a shoe game). Then revert back to the actual running count of 3, c.

Note : for plus counts you just think '3' whereas for minus 3 you think 'm3'

before you start a side count I suggest you ensure you are using 100% proper basic strategy for your game and then memorize 20 or so of the most important indice plays. More to the point I simply recommend you do not side count at all in shoe games.

Probably you have access to ES10 (early surrender against ten), in which case basic strategy is to surrender 16 (including 88), 15 and 14 (including 77) v T, as well as 16 v 9. I presume surrender against ace is not available in your locale? Most likely you are playing a ENHC game where the dealer takes all bets if they end up with blackjack, in which case you must not double or split against ten or ace except if you have AA v T. Also you can double 11 v T at a true count of +4 or higher.

''in which case basic strategy is to surrender 16 (including 88)´´
exactly

''14 (including 77) v T''
ok i will use this thanks

'' Also you can double 11 v T at a true count of +4 or higher. ´´

u mean 11 vs Ace right?

Generic basic strat says double 11 vs 10 every time last time i checked

11 v A is a BS double for H17 and a double at +1 for S17. But no, I am talking about 11 v T in a ENHC game. ENHC stands for European No Hole Card and refers to a game where a hole card is not taken by the dealer and in the event of a dealer blackjack all doubles, splits and busted bets are taken. Here is the proper strategy for a no surrender ENHC game where you can double after you split (DAS) and the dealer hits on soft seventeen (H17).

Depends on the rules. Not in a ENHC game, yes in a game where the dealer peeks or a game which is dealt without a holecard but in the event of a dealer blackjack only the original bets are taken (OBO). As you can see in the chart I have linked BS recommends a hit (H).

That's why I asked you earlier these questions :

Perfectly memorizing the correct basic strategy for the game you are playing is the first step to beating blackjack. If you do not have basic strategy 100% perfect then counting cards is a fools errand, not a money making opportunity. Different rules mean different basic strategies, and to a degree different indice plays. Know the rules at your local casino and study accordingly.
