Blackjack in Atlantic City

[Dschddny]

I'm planning to do some CC in AC and I have a few questions:

How aggressive can you be with jumping in and out of the game mid-shoe? My plan is to watch the beginning of the shoe, jump in when the count is positive, and sit out whenever the count goes negative. Even better, I plan to play multiple hands when the count gets really high, in addition to increasing my bet. Will I get any grief by doing this so aggressively? (Note that I am a low-roller, with my bet spread probably being around $5-$25!)

I look forward to your comments!

Thanks,
D

You can jump as high as you want there.
But 8 decks and limited 6 decks and csm,come on./

With a max bet of $25 you can do anything you want, forever, without heat in AC. No one, not one single entity, will look twice at you.

I live in the mid-Atlantic region and play in AC at least once per month. I agree that red chippers will get no heat in AC whatever they do. I wong in at $50 and go up to $250/300 and RARELY get any attention even for that.

If you're patient (i.e., willing to go an hour at times without playing a hand), and willing to stand on your feet all day, AC actually offers decent wonging opportunities. There are a lot more 6 deck games than there used to be, and even the 8 deckers are not bad if you're wonging in.

Where are the 6-deck games in AC?

Thanks.

At Borgata, ALL games are 6D, with mins as low as $5. During typical hours, lowest min is $10, at peak lowest min will be $25. Hilton has a handful (usually 4 or 5) of 6D games (not labeled at all to differentiate them from the 8D games - you just have to spot them) with mins of $10 and $25. Sands usually has 2 or 3 6D games, with mins of $15 or $25. Showboat offers 6D in high limit pit for $25 min. The rest of the casinos offer 6D only at the $100 level.

Even if I only play hands when the count is positive, sitting out hands when the count is negative (with my but still glued to the chair however)?

At the red level, you could probably get away with that for a while in AC. The only reason the house would eventually stop you from doing that would be because you'd be pissing off all of the ploppies, not because you are a threat.
