I don't, but...

Wouldn't it be hard for the dealer to pick up that many decks to put them in the shoe?

Look Kid I'm saying this to be nice to you but if you can't tell the difference between 8 and 10 decks while using a balanced count then you are heading for disaster. Please stop playing the game immediately so you don't lose anymore money and whatever you do don't get anyone else to invest in you like in this other post of yours.

My suggestion is to find yourself a mentor instead and start reading and educating yourself about this game. Here's a free resource you can start with.

It doesn't hurt to ask. Just say, "Wow! That is a lot of cards.. how many decks is that?" But you should be able to tell by looking. Go buy 8 decks and stack 'em up in 2d, 4d, 6d, and 8d stacks... Do that once or twice and you should be able to tell

If you are still playing at the Taj Mahal, billy, then the games you are playing are 8 decks. At the $10 level, all games in AC are 8 decks except for maybe Borgata and of course the 6-5 single deck. It really is ok to ask the dealer, if you want to know. It's not an unusual question that will make them suspicious.

Pits by the poker room are all 8 decks ($10,$15,$25 tables) pits by the B-Bar are all 6 deck ($10,$15,$25 tables) the pits by casino credit are 6 decks($25,$50,$100 tables). I pretty sure most/all the tables are gone from the pit by the Metropolitan rest. (where the $5 table is/was)

BillytheBJkid,

It is important for you to know that nearly all low stakes games
in A.C. are 8 decks AND most of them are also on H17 tables.

That means that the dealer hits his Soft 17's.

That H17 rule is ruinous. The House advantage climbs from .42% to .67% — a huge percentage increase.

In general, a H17 shoe game needs either Late Surrender or DEEP penetration to compensate, otherwise it is a high-risk low-advantage game.

My "ruinous" comment holds for those, who,like BillytheBJkid, are rank beginners.

No disrespect meant. We were all novices at one time. We were all young too. Some of us still are.

For him it is not a "bump in the road" It is more like a six foot deep "sinkhole"

You can say that again. Having learned playing S17 LS, was I surprised to find out how difficult H17 is! It's one thing to see the numbers on a sim. It's another thing to experience the pain...:whip:

I'm still looking for one of them infinite decks people keep talking about.

I think Lasseter's on the internet used to have one - they conned me in with something like "uses just one deck". So I'm happily playing single-deck for some time until I get 2 Ace of Spades in the same hand :grin: :eek:

That's when I figured out it was "infinite deck" lol.

Would re-shuffling after every card dealt be the definition of an infinite deck?

The funny thing is I won my ass off thinking it was SD shuffled after every round and promptly lost my ass once I adjusted my BS to infinite deck.

This in a game where one could bet 1 cent/hd :grin:

what exactly is losing your ass? down 300 units? -$3 :laugh: Long losing streaks wouldn't be quite so painful.
