"Intuitive" decision making may be seriously mislabeled. In most cases, intuition is "subconsciously competent" pattern-recognition skills--a topic with which all blackjack players should be intimately familiar.
We are developing (and have developed) training methods that greatly accelerate the "internalization" process for pattern-recognition. Those methods will be presented (no charge, no hassle, no commitment) in the next 3-4 issues of our newsletter (again, no charge, no hassle, no commitment). You don't even have to sign up for email delivery if you prefer not to; the newsletters will be available posted online at: (Dead link: http://ddssratings.com/eng/Home/Newsletter.aspx)
We are aiming for mid-January completion of a state-of-the-art online tutorial for basic strategy, and basic high-low counting skill development. It is not intended as a commercial product, and will be available without charge to anyone who wants to increase and improve his or her blackjack skills.
Any recommendations for inclusions, or comments on the topic of pattern-recognition as an adjunct to decision making in blackjack would be deeply appreciated. We are pragmatists; we use techniques that work, as opposed to techniques that comply with theoretical mandates, but always seem to come up short in the real world.
We will expand the tutorials to include other casino games, particularly craps, roulette. and baccarat, but our primary focus in the coming weeks and months will be on blackjack and Texas Hold'em.
This is not a sales pitch or attempt to market anything. Everything, from the newsletters to the tutorials, will be freely available to any BlackjackInfo.com forum member who wants to use them.
