Frictionless Play

If you were hypothetically playing BJ where you were literally allowed to do whatever you wanted without being asked to leave (i.e. any bet spread, wonging in and out whenever you want, multiple hands at once), how exactly would you play?

The best way to answer your question is to Summarize Stanford Wong "You have to find the gane that has deep pen...a bad game with excellent pen is a good game". Second you have to find liberal rules:DAS,S17,resplit aces, etc.. LOw heat is a gift from god these days. This and your question is a game in the big casino in the sky.

I wouldn't play.

If I was literally allowed to do what ever I wanted -- I would not play.
I would simply take all the chips from the dealer's rack and go cash them in.
Why would I want to hang around a smokey casino all day?

1) I'd have myself a large bank roll so I could bet big.
2) I'd never put any $ out unless the TC was 3 or better.
3) I'd let the gorgeous cocktail girls know that I was counting and if they treated me well, they might get to share in the wealth.
4) I'd split face cards and double soft 19 & 20 whenever the TC index was correct for the play.
5) I'd give lessons for a large fee while at the table.
6) I'd tell the stupid ploppies to stop whining, stop their stupid ploppy beliefs, learn to play the game and leave me alone .

Depends on the Rules

8 deck shuffled after ever hand? Stay home.
1 deck stand ALL 17 DOA DAS 75% pene? hehehehe

How about a continuous 400% bonus 1x thru at 400 hands per hour, no max bet size, and when you were done, you could pull the money then re depo it again??

double hehehehe

I would keep my head as low to the table as possible to get a good peek at the hole card everytime and I would have the entire table to myself. Plus it would be a nonsmoking casino.

A serious answer

To be honest, if I could find my "dream game" I would play the same way I do now. I would find a decent uncrowded SD game and hit it with a 1-40 spread, Wonging out for bathroom breaks and returning during the first round after the shuffle. Once I see the first round of cards I will decide, based on the count, if I will play or wait for the next shuffle. I would bet at the same level in order to preserve my ROR.

However, there are a few things I would do differently:

1) I would play ALL THE TIME! I mean CONSTANTLY!! I would show up in the morning and stay until nighttime.

2) I would increase my betting unit as my bankroll grew. The spread that I use now only works because it is for very low stakes. If I were to spread 1-40 in green, that would be quite a bit more noticeable! But, since there is no heat at this "dream game", I would do it as long as my ROR was acceptable.

3) There would be no need for BP team play since we can get away with any spread we want, although I would consider a teammate for other advantage opportunities. Teammates can be good for spooking other player's cards when you can't see them, or card eating.

4) I like Sammy's idea about always seeing the hole card, but in my "dream game" the dealer would always flash it for me. He would ask "Did you catch that?" as he tucked it away. If I didn't, he would flip the cards so that the upcard was now the holecard.

This question is not as ridiculous or academic as it might seem. There are many places overseas where there is absolutely no heat. Since these are all shoe games, you need to take advantage by spreading very big (1-40?), and leaving during all neg counts. If conditions permit, only wong in for plus counts (sometimes not possible in small casinos).
