I realize this post is old, but the most common thing that happens to me Is if I draw a 12. I almost always, no exaggeration, I hit, and 8 out of 10 times I draw a face card. Dealers make hands on 12 like it their job…wait, it is.
Listened to the interview with Steve Waugh. Wondering if he uses any shuffle tracking or key card tracking skills. I’ve been out of the game for some time but am entertaining the idea of teaching / coaching talented players who have a sophisticated understanding of the game. Players who want to go on to greater edge plays to add to their skill set. My name is recognizable to many of the older players and my reputation stands on its own merits. I can be contacted at [email protected].
This new version is horrible. Not user friendly. The graphics are so large that making choices are out of my display. Go back to the earlier version. This one is useless.
Was working on an analysis between how dealer bust rate and player’s bust rate could help determine weather to hit or stand. Was wondering if you could be of assistance (: ?
It is part of basic strategy, which is the fundamental playing decisions made by a player when determining the proper play to make given the player’s cards. Basic strategy is not based upon the count, but rather upon the total of the player’s hand and the dealer’s upcard. It can vary based upon the number of decks in use and the specific rules of the game being played. It is determined by which action the player can take which will maximize the player’s return based only upon the knowledge gained from the player’s hand and the dealer’s upcard.
Stefan, these questions are beyond the scope of what can be personally answered here. I respectfully suggest you should read every good book out there right from Beat the Dealer to all of Stanford Wong’s books, Arnold Snyder’s books, Don Schlesinger’s books, Norm Wattenberger’s Modern Blackjack and of course James Grosjean’s Beyond Counting. You should also get all of Norm’s software. The technical knowledge will be very valuable in fine-tuning your game along the way and also help how you approach other games.
Don Schlesinger’s Blackjack Attack is the most valuable book I have ever read.
others: The Theory of Blackjack (difficult to understand the mathematical formula if you do not have enough math knowledge )
Beat the dealer
15 vs 10, stand at TC 4+ , this is an index of Illustrious 18 @ Blackjack Attack, means you have a hand 15 composed of three or more cards, you should not hit at TC 4+.
According to what I’ve learned, my basic strategy chart AND YOUR OWN, you don’t split (9,9) against an 8. Fix your quiz.
Correct BS for 9,9 vs. 8 is to split. Split nines against everything except 7, 10, or A.
Oh oops, I got it backwards. The quiz is right, I said it wrong, and I picked the wrong button by accident, derp lol

There’s plenty of knowledgeable blackjack players there that could help you with any specific analysis/question you might have
why do I double with 11 against A?
