[/ QUOTE ]Wow, never played blackjack? Solid brag now that I think about it. Ugh, a few years ago I was losing in poker a bit on a Vegas stint so I decided to chase losses in BJ. TEEEEERRRRRRRRIBLE IDEA!

craps >>>>>>>>>>>baccar at>>>blackjack


except baccarat is kind of boring...craps is definately the most fun and has the 2nd best EV.

1) spadeye takes forever to scan the tables...any way to speed this up?

2) My ironman page is like 5 hours behind....yesterday it wasabout 12 hours...everybody else the same?

Ah...blackjack's the only table game I know how to play (knowing how to play means having a +ev edge or having the lowest -ev disadvantage). And I really think I could pull off one of the simple counting systmes like KO or Hi/Lo but only if there were 3 or fewer players at the table....more than that + the dealer going as fast as he/she does and I get lost after 3-5 hands. Maybe if I practiced it....but that'd be stupid since I already have such an edge at certain poker games and I would rarely travel to AC to play blackjack.....plus their deck penetration is always gonna be an issue and I would likely need to learn a more complicated counting system to be able to really count on it to make some money.


Brag though: I'm up about $1200 on AC at blackjack (not counting comps)...it's been over 3 visits over the last 4 month or so.

Beat: I was up about $1875 on them until they gave me a free room for two nights in October and I went with my girlfriend for a fun getaway. I spent 70 bucks for a bottle of vodka (smirnoff too, nothing great) and orange juice (next time we bring our own booze) and I lost $640....she lost $100. (Just to clarify though she's still up like a bit over $200 and my dad was there once too and he made over $500.)



Variance...I have 4 free rooms (one per week) for November.



Thing I hate: The day I lost the $640 I had a $50 match play...meaning I put down 50 bucks and the ticket and its a $100 payout. I did it at single deck BJ table and I was the only one there, then one other guy sat....and it was easy enough to know I had a [censored] killer spot (not one card above a 7 had come out after 2 hands...so easy to spot) so I threw it down:


I got an 11 against a 6 for crying out loud. So I doubled down so I'm in for $150 + my ticket looking for a $200 profit return. Naturally the dealer makes a 21 so within the first 15 minutes I'm there I'm down $150 soon to be down $200 in my first 25 minutes.... when I actually knew I had a ridiculous +ev spot and played it as such. What really kills me is that I actually like really really knew how +ev a spot it was before the cards were dealt. I bounced aroound for a while and as late as 5 or so hours later I was up a bit but ended up down $640 that night.

Does anyone know how to setup PAHUD so that it always displays my stats on the same seat? I have the preferred seat set as the same on both stars and PA but it still displays them wrong.

about the counting systems. They will catch you doing 90% of them without a team. Aside from that, the past few casino's ive been to, use a perpetual shuffler, so it negates any card counting EV whatsoever. They save the single deck...and even the 4-6 deck games for more baller stakes than I play.

You should really learn craps....its so fun. the last time I played craps was in detroit...all the 'locals' bet against me when I was rolling lmao.
