Are you inferring that casino management has the capacity to act intelligently? Someone tells them that this rule adds this per cent and that's as far as it goes. They tailor the percent to where they want it, and that's that. In their defense, if ls was widespread, people might eventually learn how to use it and the casino would then be put in the unhappy position of once again taking away a rule favoring the player.21forme said:
On the subject of Charlies, from what I found here there are times you should deviate from Basic Strategy to maximize your EV. Sometimes (especially with a 5-card Charlie or if you're one card away from an automatic winner) you'd want to make some plays that look really odd normally (such as in some cases not splitting aces or hitting a hard 17 or soft 21).neversplit5s said:
After shuffling, the dealer sets the deck down onto the table. The player picks up half the deck (or however much he wishes to cut), and sets those cards down NEXT to the uncut cards. The dealer then takes the UNCUT cards, puts them on TOP of the cards that the player just cut, burns a card; and deals the hand. Just like in the home games!zoomie said:
You don't need to do it with 100% accuracy, there is something else you need to be able to do though.Sucker said:But that's not a RULE. That's a SKILL, and the Griffin book is loaded with names and pictures of people who used to do exactly THAT. That's also the reason why the casinos no longer allow cutting by hand, but use a cut card. (How I miss the "drop" :sad.
Since the cut card came in, I don't know of ANYONE who can do it with 100% accuracy.
