My name is JJ and I have been reading your posts on cardcounter.com. I was wondering if I may ask you about card-counting and playing. I would like to learn and have decided on UBZII as the count to use since I'm in NorCal and Tahoe and Reno would be the two places I'd frequent.
**There are some excellent games in Reno, Sparks, Tahoe, as well as in N.Cal - Clearlake for one. Another excellent place for BJ that is off most players radar is Wendover and the adjacent Jackpot NV though those venues are closer to SLC. I would advize you to get a current issue of CBJN or a Trackjack.com subscript so that you may perform your own games-recon.
Specifically, do you know much about that system and can you tell me what your opinion is on UBZII? Do you suggest any changes for me in terms of indices or count?
**UBZII is one of the top3 counts going in my estimation - it will perform on par w/most practioners use of HO2 and AO2 WITH NEITHER Ace or TC adjustments!
I am a red-chip player (with a starting bankroll of between $500-1000). I figured if I run out, I'll just wait another month before I start again (lifetime bankroll).
**Clearly you have done your homework, there is nothing wrong with a 'cumulative' approach to playing capital.
I'll mostly be playing single/double decks. Do you have any suggestions for my bet-spreads? I understand you don't think a 1-4 for SD (for AOII) is adequate enough.
**Actually, a 1-4 can be sufficient, depending on the rules, %pene, etc. (A02 Blood cook recommends 1-2 which is NOT sufficient for most 1D games today. I generally try to get down double the spread I feel is adequate for a given game - in a good 1D game where I feel that 1-4 will suffice, I will use 1-8, etc. but this of course is mediated by my act and other factors.
I understand that most counters are secretive as far as protecting their ID (it was a little easier to track you down since you have a profiles section on cardcounter.com which pointed to yahoo). Thank you very much for your time and I'm sorry if I've intruded.
**I've been thoroughly 'Griffinized' so my name used within the casinos is always different now.
**I am taking the liberty to post this communique to CC.com, please do not be shy about continuing the confersation there... though anything of a confidential nature you may certainly write me here again. zg
