Hi Ken, I’ve been practicing for te Microgame Classic BJ where there’s no peek. So BS says no doubling 11 on dealers 10 or ace, cause there’s a too high chance for BJ. It’s not a big problem, cause I stick to the BS. But maybe in a later version, if it’s not too much trouble, you can include an option for peek or no peek? Cheers from Holland.
Single deck, S17, DAS, 15 vs 10. According to your B.S. generator I should hit, but this tells me I should surrender. What it the correct play? Does the discrepancy have to do with hand composition? (I had king-5)
The correct strategy is hit. I checked the source for the trainer, and it does appear this is a bug.
In 2 or more decks S17 LS, you should surrender 15vT. In 1 deck S17 LS, you should hit.
The trainer is inaccurate, only in the one deck version.
Thanks for pointing this out. I’ll make sure it is corrected in the new software.
As the GameMaster writes, in the 6D S17 game, you should stand with A7vA at TC +1 or higher.
(Note that in H17 games, you should ALWAYS hit, no matter what the count.)
You ask what is the logic behind the index of +1 in S17 games?
Well, fewer small cards make standing better in two different ways. Fewer sixes mean less chance that the dealer has a six in the hole to give you an immediate win. And fewer 2s and 3s mean less chance of improving your A7 hand by hitting.
But generally, don’t worry too much about the “why” of index numbers or basic strategy. It just is what it is.
Thanks to this question, I also just discovered that my Advanced Strategy cards are missing this index! The next printing will correct that.
Ahh, that makes sense. I was thinking there would be no harm in a hitting if the odds were high that you would receive a 10. However, I suppose is there is still a good chance of receiving a 7, 8, or 9, which would put you in a bad situation with a positive count. Thanks!
Yes, basic strategy is the best way to play your hands, whether shuffled by hand or by machine, including continuous shuffle machines.
As for card counting, continuous shuffle machines eliminate the ability to count cards, but regular shuffle machines do not.
Was in Vegas May 20-23. Bally’s has 3-2, 8 deck shoe, DH soft 17 & surrender. Started at $10 and progressively increased to $25 before I left. No grandfathering of bets though.
WOW! Vegas is absolute shit now! And I keep dreaming about going there and trying out their blackjack tables. I currently reside in Hong Kong so I go to Macau to play and they have some, what I feel, pretty awesome rules namely: 50% surrender (unless dealer shows ace), black jack even pay (if you choose 1 to 1 surrender), Push on dealer and player blackjack, BJ pay out is 3-2, doubling after splitting is allowed, can double on any hand (some casinos only allows you to double at 11). And no tipping (house rules); if you tip, it goes directly to the casino.
I also went to Singapore Universal Studios and they have a casino there. They play Pontoon which is pretty awesome as well. All rules are the same except no “50% surrender of hands” but they have a nice perk of any 21 or black jack is an auto-win. So, for example, if dealer is showing an “A” and you have 10 and 2 and draw a 9 to reach a total of “21”, then you collect right away. How awesome is that!?
Anyway, I’ve only started playing recently. Good luck guys!
Afortunadamente, ese tipo de caída en picado de la cuenta real no ocurre a menudo en los juegos de 6 barajas, por lo que no se da tan a menudo. (Por ejemplo, en mitad de un zapato con 3 barajas restantes, la cuenta corriente tendría que caer 18 puntos en una mano). Caídas menos extremas ocurren todo el tiempo, por supuesto. Yo tiendo a dejar mi apuesta de todos modos, independientemente de si gané o no la última mano. Si te sientes obligado a dejar una apuesta más grande por razones de cobertura, yo intentaría hacerlo sólo ocasionalmente, mezclándolo.
Así que volviendo a mi pregunta original, ¿con qué frecuencia te ciñes a tu programa de apuestas? Si la cuenta es 6 y apuesto 120 libras, gano y ahora la cuenta es 0, ¿es mejor abandonar la mesa que apostar 10 libras?
Estupendo. Gracias por su respuesta. He estado haciendo mis deberes y estoy entusiasmado por invertir en la mesa según las brillantes directrices expuestas en las lecciones de aquí. Vivo en Inglaterra y los casinos en los que he estado parecen permitirte mirar desde la barrera y participar en cualquier momento.
Sí, hacer recuento regresivo en una mesa y dejarse caer cuando el recuento es bueno puede ser un método muy eficaz. También se conoce como "Wonging", en honor a Stanford Wong.
Aunque muchos casinos restringen ahora la entrada a mitad de zapato para evitar ésta y otras estrategias similares, sigue siendo bastante común. Especialmente para los jugadores con poco dinero, es una buena forma de jugar contra los juegos de zapato.

I don’t currently have the H17 indexes published on the site anywhere. You can get them on my Cartas de estrategia avanzada if you want.

Here’s the accurate strategy chart you mentioned…

Can somebody please explain the logic behind staying on A,7 vs A with a TC of 1 or greater? Thanks

I plan on going to the Missouri casinos for blackjack. Are they beatable in the long run?

Gracias Ken, debo haber leído mal el consejo.
Será mejor que encuentre un sitio con un mínimo de 5 libras o que ahorre otras 3.000 libras.
