i was lucky enough to get a copy of k_c's software as a test on my computer which runs Vista.
just thought i'd point out a few of the really neat things about k_c's blackjack game and computer software tdca. doubtless there are other aspects of it that i'm leaving out or just haven't learned about yet.
look at the image below and you'll see what i'm talking about.
just considering when you are in game playing mode it's cool how many things are going on that are not in your face but that you can quickly glance at and instantly glean a wealth of information. as you play at anytime you can glance up in the upper left hand corner and see just how many cards of a given type are left in the pack to be dealt and just how many cards of a given type have been dealt. also at a glance the penetration level is graphicaly represented as you play deeper into the pack. to your upper right you can again at a glance if you so choose see just what IRC, RC or TC you are at for any given point your are at in your play. then along side the dealer's cards before his hole card is revealed you can if you choose glance over and see what probabilities the dealer has for achieving a pat hand or the probability of the dealer busting. then along side your initial two cards dealt you can glance over and see the EV's for the various play actions you might concievably make. then as your playing along making bets you can see just how much what ever bet has lowered your bankroll as you put that bet out. well that's all cool stuff to know but it's even cooler that even though it's all knowable at a glance as you play it's not in your face so to speak as you play but right there available to you at a glance should you decide to take a peek. instant knowledge at your finger tips lol. thats cool.
then too something i just discovered that when not in play mode you can click on the card representations (what ever cards you choose) for the dealer and the player and compute the dealer probabiities for pat hands or busting and the players EV for the various play actions. another thing you can do is by clicking on the plus's and minus's under the various card types is remove those types of cards from the pack and then compute the ev for that composition of the shoe. sort of an EOR sort of thing.
well that's most of what i know about our fellow forum contributer's k_c's software. but i'm probably missing some things still lol. so anyway i thought i'd share my experience with it so far.
