Re: Blackjack Basic Strategy Card
A bit off topic, but if you were counting would having one of these, and referring to it from time time, throw the watchers off for a while? Just curious.

[/ QUOTE ] well, 99% of casino BJ players don't even know to use basic strategy, so showing the card would probably still draw more attention to you overall than not using it. anything on the player's side of the felt that isn't a chip, comp card, drink, napkin or ashtray will catch a floorperson's eye fairly quickly. no attention is good attention if you're counting.

Re: Blackjack Basic Strategy Card
Speaking of basic strategy cards, do most casinos let you openly use one of these at the blackjack tables? I almost hate to admit it but as much time as I've spent in a casino, I've never played a hand of live blackjack. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I'd like to play every once in awhile but I'd want to use the card for reference, even if it made me look like stupid tourist. I could care less what I look like, I want to minimize the house edge as much as possible. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
