so our entire edge on this comes from the fact that they pay 2-1 instead of 3-2 when you hit 21?

someone show me where i should read about strategy and find a chart of hands please

For every $5000 you wager for the next 3 days you get a party poker tshirt that says "I got [censored] by dikshit"

Btw, does anybody feel by instinct that standing with TT is good vs a dealers 6? I can just never understand that.

[/ QUOTE ]

20 is just too good a hand to risk splitting regardless of the dealers upcard. Even if you were counting cards, you would need a pretty big edge to make splitting correct vs. a dealers 6 or 5.

Think about how often you will a) bust on one (making it a push) b) bust on both c) make a worse hand, that is beaten on one or both.

[/ QUOTE ]

In most single-level counts, +5 or +6 would be plenty to split tens on. This will never happen online, as they shuffle too frequently to ever let the count get that high.

When done in a casino, ( if you can get away with it), these plays are among the top 6 most profitable plays a BJ counter can make, (Insurance being #1).

Yeah I was going to say you're like to attract a lot of attention if you start splitting 10s. Not that I know [censored] about card counting or cover play.

does party selectively shuffle? i.e., keep track of the count, shuffle if the count is >2, but never shuffle if the count goes negative by any amount?

seems like an incredibly easy rig to slaughter the player without changing the rules
