How is everyone else's year going so far?

[Coyote]

so wat is your game coyote. My favorite is the a lucky ladys game with 4 other high pay-out hands. Its a DD game $25 minimums DAS, no rsa, H17. Betting table minimum on the blackjack bet and blackchipping 1-3 depending on my bankroll. And my trip bankroll depends on what games im going to play Blackjack with or withou variations. Obviously if I am playing variations I am going to bring a considerable amount more.

I also love a game they have at an Indian casino I go too. DD GAME H17, DAS RSA with a weird double down rule. It is advertised as full pay. But that is only for the perfect basic strategy player. Counting wise you have an advantage at a count -2. Sometimes csm dealt sometimes pitch game.

My game.... anything with an advantage in the entire store. I will play LL at blackjack but many stores only allow a $25 max.

In an attempt to direct the thread back to the OP, my year is still going great and I'm hoping to continue the session very soon.

Where do you normally play. My LL games most of them have a $100 max and 2 or 3 have a $300 max. I heard the reason LL have such low limits in blackjack is because of a couple of people by the name Xxx and Xxxxx. They hit them up for $150,000 in one go before they got the ban.

Sounds like you stick to the lower limit areas. I normally stick to the higher limit tables if I can. Less ploppie action. If I was not a side count player I probably wouldn't last long but my play does not reveal hardly any hint of CC.

Back to the thread...

In an effort to get this thread back on track, I'll post how my year has been going:

BIG swings. Betting half Kelly in high edge situations can move money real fast (in both directions.) Well ahead on the year though

Half kelly? What is your bankroll size.

I heard the reason LL have such low limits in blackjack is because of a couple of people by the name Xxx and Xxxxx. They hit them up once for $150,000 before they got the ban.

Requesting a ban for this poster. I know these players personally.

Well you have made quite an impression, comatose. You join a new site and within 10 posts, declare yourself to be an expert dispensing invaluable information like this based on your experience of 7 trips.

Secondly, you don't like aslan. Do you think that makes you special? None of us like Aslan! :laugh: Just kidding, aslan.

But seriously, what kind of numb-nuts, declares his dislike for another member, for no reason with absolutely no provocation. Oh wait, you have a reason, someone else told you not to like him. You are going to hide behind the skirt of your mentor. That seems classy.

Honesty, my first reaction is that your post reeks of phoney-ism. That you are just here to make some noise and rattle some chains. If that is not the case, I don't think you will find many members egar to help you after an introduction like that. Oh, but wait, you didn't ask for any advise and don't need any guidance. You know it all after 7 sessions of play. :laugh:

comatoseb.j. and I have had discussions by PM and we are reconciled.

As for a PM to his mentor, I have erased most of my sent mail because my box was full and I was unable to receive PMs last week. However, if he or his mentor wants to publish my PM in full, I am okay with that. I generally go to PM so as not to add fuel to the fire in an already overheated thread. But there is nothing I would say in a PM that I would be ashamed to say in public.

Thank you Aslan...

But from your words it does not look as if you remember this. Either way it does not matter to me. In March he died of Stage 4b Hodgkin's lymphoma. with I believe it was explained some thing was wrong with all of his extralymphatic organs. Sadly he was not in the 90% that survive this. I would be glad to call you a valuable asset if not a friend on this message board. I believe he would not have wanted me to hold his own grudges. I put out my hand as a gesture of good faith. And hope that it is returned.

Spanish variant?

Sounds like some sort of Spanish variant - you can't beat those or side games on a CSM

No problem, comatoseb.j.

It looks from the comments above that you are off to a bit of a rocky start on the board, but this is a forgiving lot, although not a group to take lightly.

Your revelation that LL's can be played at the black chip level has already added to my future prospects, although I have not seen it at any level where I currently play. The usual custom is to drop LL from the high limit rooms altogether, or if not, to keep it with the same $25 ceiling. I would advise against revealing the games' locations in public.

I am sorry to hear about your friend. Being that it goes back to March or before, I am sure I will not remember. If it came from a voodoo thread, they are the most heated of all discussions on the Forum, since the departure of the Zen Zone and discussions of politics and religion a year or so ago.

Basic strategy gives you the advantage. I didn't say I was counting single deck. lol. cutting aka steering the deck meaning cutting the deck to your advantage after following groups of cards. That would be my single deck advantage. I just now today started practicing the same thing with double deck game. But it is a bit harder. But still the same overall concept. I also like cutting aces to my advantage playing this game. So I believe your original assumption about this game not being advantageous is completely unsubstantiated. Both skill get progressively harder as the day goes on. There were some things I was going to keep to myself since this is a public board but I cant very well have somebody posting something to possibly contradict my post and not rectify the situation can I. BTW Nice to meet you Mr.:grin::1st::1st::1st:

I would never. I aint daft you know. :grin:

I know. But I should know better and still I sometimes forget I'm in a fish bowl and blurt out something I should keep to myself. :fish:

Dont worry I got the exact same problem. Except mine words might get me shot one day. And man am I in for the long haul. Now casino for the next the months. Just dicecting shuffles and learning to stear cards. Not stepping foot in a casino until I can atleast get to 20% advantage over the casino.

 

[Most Interesting Man]

Still digging myself out of a hole that's was created in a few days and been getting worse. Oh well nothings beyond established parameters. I am happy with my rate of learning. I can play multiple games now. I'm also spotting a fair share of hole cards. Next step is doing the math to take advantage of said HCs and also ace sequencing.

 

[comatoseb.j.]

Glad to see someone other than me has the drive to learn the big bucks. I only have one weak dealer for whole carding and I have a few that call me a couple times a month to give me a heads up when certain rare monthly great games will come along. Of course that costs me but I aint got a problem with it. gotta be sneaky like a :cat: and ballsy like a bull. Good luck.
