To All,

Just finished a 7 day trip to L.V. and wanted to give a short trip report to post a positive return.

Played almost exclusivly single and double deck games in the downtown area. I made a few trips to the strip (before wife went home)to play some more double deck and also some of the best 6 deck shoe conditions I have ever played.(ls S17 das 5/6 pen.) The only other time that I have had a better 6 deck game was in upper MI were I could also double after split A's.

Total Playing time was 63hrs for a win rate of 2.75 units/hr. Ended trip with a win of about 174 units. Would have been better, but took a 40 unit beating the last 3 hours of play before I left. No single win was greater than 30 units.

I've got the best wife a BJ player could ask for. She really enjoys playing and is always looking forward to the next trip too (she hates slots). We flew out together for the weekend (along with 4 other guys). She then headed home late Sunday (kids in school) and I stayed for 5 additional days.

At my level of play I really did not get any serious scrutiny other that the Mayor's favorite place of play, LL (lol!). I believe you have been asked not to play there several times?

I use the Red 7 count, which I realize is not real strong against single deck play but I have always done pretty well with it. I think adding the additional 12 single deck indices in A. Snyders book has helped too.

I look forward to getting to the point when our kids are out of high school (couple years) and getting my wife more involved in counting too. We should be able to do very well as we spend more time at the tables and dedicate a larger bankroll to play.

Good Cards to All,
Pill

LL?

Are you all talking about LL Downtown, the one next to G. Spike, the one that gets the best Monthly SCORE ratings, the LL that I will be staying at in 2 months??? If yes, is this a HOT place to play???

"Are you all talking about LL Downtown, the one next to G. Spike, the one that gets the best Monthly SCORE ratings, the LL that I will be staying at in 2 months??? If yes, is this a HOT place to play???"

Yes this is the one. When I played they were offering only one SD, one DD and a shoe.

The SD game is what I played and it was being dealt pretty good to the two of us at the table. I only played for about 1 hour with the last 40 minutes being closly watched by the Pit Lady. Being only a Red chip player slowly spreading from 1-4 I thought this was strange, but maybe she was bored for it was a slow week there.

Anyway, after the hour I left up 20 units and with so many other games available I avoided it for the last two days I had left to play.

Good luck on your trip. If you get a good dealer giving good penetration the DD at the Fitz. was pretty good for me. I was getting about 70% with one dealer each night I played there. If you use a balanced count and do a TC conversion also need to pay attention to the initial cut they put into the discard tray after the shuffle. (I use the unbalanced Red7 so this was not a factor to me other than determining penetration level.)

When?

When is this game typically offered and when is the best time to play? My last time out I walked through the place quite a few times and only saw the single decker going once. The only table was full.

Re: When? *LINK*

I found the SD game at LL at 11AM. They had only one table and when I first saw it there was 4 players. In a couple of minutes it went down to two. This was my only trip through the LL that week.

Re: When?

Yea,
I think it was late morning on a Sunday when I saw it. I suppose the sensible thing to do would be to call and ask.

thanks,
