WHat is the reasoning behind hitting a 13 against a 4 when the count is greater than or equal to 0?... if it is greater than wouldnt there be more 10's = higher chance of busting?... do I have it wrong? I got this out of John May's book.

-Thanks!

13 v 2 and 13 v 3 are in his book, not 13 v 4. John has been informed 1000 times of this error and has taken a lot of heat for it. 13 v 2 <0 you hit, 13 v 3 -2 you can hit.

Who Is John May? I have seen the roar over his posts but I really dont know him as a author? I suggest that at a -1 TC you leave any way. I did not even memorize any of the Negative TC. Once it hits -1, adios. Also read Blackjack II by Don Schlesinger for the truth on the Il 18 and fab four!

I am off now on a cruise for Christmas. See you guys and have a Merry Christmas. Depdending on how i do I may send a post via sattlelite phone from the boat on how my play onboard is going. A Semi-live trip report. ZG a happy new year to you. Mcgarvey Merry Christmas again!

John May wrote a book called "Get the Edge on Blackjack" .. I think thats what its called. He posts @ the advantageplayer.com message board. That's all I know!

Oh.. and I was kidding about the 13v4.. I looked again and it said 12 v 4... but you wouldn't hit a 12 v 4 with a TC of greater or equal to 0 would you?!
