He was on a few nights earlier and was talking about vid poker payouts and later about Counting with one of the KO BJ guys I think it was Vancura. Last time I was at the horseshoe the single deck was sweaty and shallow.

HS 1D sucks
"I just saw Stanford on TV, in the episode "The top 10 casinos in Vegas." He was explaining why the single deck game at the Horseshoe was a good one."
---------------------------
How did he justify HS 1D as a good game? (The best game at HS currently are the two 2D games with 80+% pene. zg

He may have been presented in some twisted context. I didn't see the show with Mr. Wong, but the Travel channel has been showing some pretty screwball propaganda about card counting lately.

Re: HS 1D sucks REAL OLD...
... for the uninformed - at a marginal 'Ro6' game like HS 1D, IF you can get 4rounds to 2hands, but only 5rounds to 1hand - play 2hands heads-up thru most counts +/-... this is how the best pene is achieved. Other DT 1D games such as LVC, Western, EC (days) currently are superior. zg

excellent point zg...
...4 to 2 is clearly superior to 5 to 1, and I have a series of posts at BJ21 where I tried to explain this to a particularly dense poster. The posts showed a marked improvement in penetration, for both betting and playing purposes, as well as what kind of substantial effect these improvments could have on our edge. I'll try to re-post it up here as soon as I get a chance, I think some may find it of interest.

Re: HS 1D sucks
IMO, HS 1D is not that bad IF it is not crowded. I like to play green, and, unfortunately, most downtown 1D joints will call the national guard if you play green. HS is really the only 1D joint that will take green action pretty well. I've spread 1-6 (25-150) many times there without getting unusual heat.
The problem with HS 1D, in my opinion, is that it is typically too crowded. As anybody on this board knows, a crowded 1D game is totally useless.
Never played the 2D game at HS -- usually I don't look too closely at an H17 2D game with no DAS. But if it is 80% pen, it probably is worth a look.
