Can anyone tell me what the advantage gained from this very odd rule (I have never seen before) where you can hit again after doubling down? The example would be dealer has a 7, player has 10, player doubles down and receives a 3 and then is allowed to hit again ..read more

Got my first back off, in Mesquite, NV at the Virgin River Casino. I have been playing there pretty frequently for a couple years. I am an AP, but I'm no "high roller". Play at DD tables, $10 or $15 min. As for bet spread, most I do is play $30 each on 2 spots. Most I've ever walked with is a $200 profit. Can't believe I got backed off under these circumstances. They actually refused to give me a reason for the back off, but told me I am banned from BJ at both properties in town (Virgin... Backed Off in Mesquite, NV ..read more

Curious if this has been attempted or if it's worth it. KO "off the rack" has a BC of 0.98, PE of 0.55, IC of 0.78. KO without the A, 2 has a BC of 0.88, PE of 0.64, IC of 0.86. If I use KO "off the rack" for betting and then adjust my playing and insuring by adjusting the main count by the A-2 side count do I get: BC of 0.98, PE of 0.64, IC of 0.86? This would seem like a pretty good system, but not sure if I can just mash the numbers together. I tried to analyze this in CVData but I... Side counting A, 2 with KO ..read more

I took long hiatus from BJ, about year and bit. Didn't practice even at all. I had other things in life come up that had be taken care of first before BJ. Now that my path back to BJ (even though I was fairly unsuccessful in my last one money wise) Is starting open up again in perhaps 6 months plus. So I started off with good ole CVCX playing Shoe game. I expected to be really rusty and struggling hold count, perhaps slowing the dealer down and what not. But the opposite occurred. My playing...

The Blackjack Strategy Trainer version 2 is fun to play but there's one major problem that I would like to see addressed. The game slows down drastically after like 3 games have been completed on a 2 deck BJ game on my computer and while using my phone. That's a problem. Everything else seems fine but the "slow down" has to be fixed. After playing a 1000+ hands over the last few days I wanted to make sure I left feedback so the issue can be resolved. The speed that the game starts out... Blackjack Strategy Trainer v2 Feedback ..read more
