I live in Las Vegas and................

[Anthony]

I live in Las Vegas, NV and love to play single deck BJ. However, to find a good game in town that doesn't have a 10 minimum, 6-5 pay outs on BJ, Super Fun 21, and I cann't continue to play at the small houses. Also, is Super Fun 21 a better game to play than single deck BJ 6-5 or single deck BJ 3-2.

Thanks for any help you can give!!!!!

single decks

From what I've read. The best games would be 3/2 single, super fun 21 and avoid like the plague 6/5 single deck. I think I read here somewhere but my memory fails me that the wizard of odds has a basic strategy for super fun 21 thats effective and with a little searching you can find some indices for counting. I've also read somewhere think it was here but... that super fun 21 is beatable but you really need to have a huge bet spread think in the line of 20 or more units. The final thing is superfun 21 is still for the most part considered a carnival game by the pit so it has a lot less heat then say a 3/2 single deck. Mind you this is all hearsay and from memmory.

Single Deck

3-2 Single deck games are few in Vegas anymore. Northern Nevada (Tahoe, Reno, & Sparks) are where single deck is still offered in good numbers.

Superfun21, according to LVBear584, is not for the casual player and requires a significant amount of scouting to find an advantage situation.

I would read LVBear584 interview at this site, and do searches of his posts here and at bj21.com get some more info on your questions.

good luck, sorry I can not help more than that.

Most ANY game is better than 6:5......

well, maybe CSM's are worse, since the game goes much faster, you may lose at a higher rate even if rules make disadvantage somewhat less.

When ALL rules are the same, then the general desirability of games is something like:

---SD > DD > 6D > 8D > Single21 > SF21 >6:5 > CSM's....I left out Spanish21, which can be played for less -EV than CSM's, but requires much further study.

However, since rules are rarely the same, it is not uncommon to find, for example a "juicy" 6D opportunity is the same store that might offer Sh#tty DD rules/pen. Suggest CBJN as a cheap, reliable, and QUICK source of this kind of info.

If I were a LV Local, and especially for SD, I would strive for profit PLUS longevity! Specifically, instead of seeking $5-10. games and trying to disguise a wide spread through various methods, I would play $25-50. games, and spread 2:1, or quite likely 1.5:1 (especially when side-counting A's).

Most stores know than many, if not most "Regulars" at their BJ tables have read a "book-or-two". They also usually know that there ain't that many of us out there who are really good at it.

With lower spreads, you could fairly easily (grammar?) pull off a "double-up" act, or appear as a Novice CC who places Max. Bets at ANY + Count....and who just happens TO GET BJ 1/19th OF THE TIME!
