toastblows said:Treasure Island ranges from $5 - $100 minimum tables.
Prime tables are in high stakes only, usually 4 of 8 tables open:
one 2 deck $25 min
one 6 deck $25 min
one 4 or 6 deck at $50 min
one 6 deck at $100 min.
Fri/Sat nights all 8 tables in high stakes may be running and its a variation of that. Stay away from low limit, its like a cattle field out there. I have had the most profit from the $100 6 deck...i attribute that to usually having to play by myself....the "correct" way. The 2 deck $25 is nice if you can get it alone or 1 other person. Usually you can't do this because the cattle plop down after seeing you stack up to the ceiling and 6 people on a 2 deck is like playing slots.
I was booted out of TI in the mid-late 90s for beating a 2 deck $10 table (I was a nieve 18 years old and that was the sweatest gig around). Never sit on a six if you know the dealer is going to bust :laugh: They banished me from table play for life, but somehow i still play there.If you play smart and take losses to cover your system, you can avoid heat. I will occasionally hit on 16's when i know a 10 is coming just to play the idiot blackjack player. My typical take from that $100 table playing "dumb" is 500-1500 in less than 1 hour sessions.
P.S.
They do not have surrender as of this time that i have found. No over under 13. They must stand on soft 17 (if i recall, i dont really care so this may be wrong). Penetration seems to be around 70%, depends on dealer in my experience.
I have been there in the last month since my post...the games in High Stakes I played where hitting on soft 17.Cass said:I call B.s. on your post unless you are saying you were reading the hole card. and i doubt that you were since there 2d games are even dealt from shoe. TI changed to H17 about a year and a half ago. It is a average game at best. The high stakes are decent if you can afford it. JJ is probably the best in MN if you dont get the boot! they are paranoid of counters.
I think they are most paranoid on there double deck games, and the high stakes... Wonging is awesome on a busy night because mid shoe entry is allowed. Just dont overstay your welcome.mjbballar23 said:is jj paranoid of counters just in the high stakes lounge or does that apply to all their blackjack tables?
I played there tonight, only on one table....mjbballar23 said:anyone know what conditions are like at Treasure Island in Red Wing, Minnesota. Im looking specifically for info on penetration and heat. thanks
