trying to see how I measure up.

I agree with posters who said 100% accuracy is the best strategy to start playing. Speed will come from experience. The bets I missed were stupid "rush" bets attempting to increase wins.

absolutely. i did the same rush bit.
now if i took my sweet time and considered the indice plays the practice would be excellent.

First game: 586 seconds, 37 mistakes
Fifth game: 408 seconds, 21 mistakes
Tenth game: 378 seconds, 18 mistakes

Well, at least I'm getting better, but I can see that I am definately rushing it. The mistakes are stupid and there is lots of work to do.

Ive got to agree, anything less than 100% is completely unacceptable. If you consider counting can get you an average edge of just a few percentage then maybe 99% is ok, but jeez...

i tryed it. didn't do so well. for got what my score was. i was slow though and i think i made four mistakes before i gave up. frankly i don't care for the thing.
if i was just using basic strategy i would love it and practice on it like crazy andi think it would help me a lot. but the thing is i use indices (well the I18) so what i find happening to me while using the system is in my mind i'm ignoring the indices for the sake of speed. for me because of that i don't like it. i want the indices to come to mind also when i making play decisions.

I find this to be an excellent trainer, especially if you only learned BS a little while ago. After all, you have to bring BS to mind before you play against it right?

If anything, it is a good way to see if your mind is still sharp. It at least shows concrete numbers of speed and error. The less time you spend adding up your hand and deciding on the play, the faster you can get to counting for the round.

Anyway, It's been six weeks since I learned BS perfectly.

first game: 586 secs, 37 mistakes
most recent game: 323 secs, 7 mistakes

There is no doubt that I have improved, in both speed and accuracy. Not because of the actual site, because I only play it once every few days. But it is a good gauge.

right i agree with you. i did later qualify my original post with this one below:

the point being i would just need to take the time and consider the indice play, not be to rushed thats all. accurate, complete and as quick as possible thats the idea.
