please follow the above advice to get out of BUSTOVILLE

seriously, how do you have LOSSES? fish

Example: Hero has 66 - Dealer shows an Ace

"Basic Strategy" says to hit - but we all know "Basic Strategy" is for amateurs

the correct play is SPLIT - here's how our example works out (remembering to double anything 11 and lower):

Hero has 6-3-DOUBLE-4 (12) and 6-2-DOUBLE-7 (15)
Dealer goes A-4-J-A-J BUSTO

with "Basic Strategy" you would have lost - with "$$$$$$ Strategy" you win 4x your bet

I want to re-emphasise a point here. Basic strategy (and all books agree with this) means that YOU WILL LOSE MONEY.

If you want to win, DON'T PLAY BASIC STRATEGY. If you want to lose, feel free to play basic strategy. This is really quite important.

Josh

thanks josh - it's amazing how people don't realize, even though THE STRATEGY SAYS SO, that "basic strategy" loses money

I guess people hate $$$$
