I have played in one. Usually a time limit. How many decks are you playing? Dealing out of shoe or hand? Who is assigned to first base, that is where you can control the table. The thing you can't plan for is what the inexperienced player will do. If they split 10's against a dealers 6, it make take 2 to 3 hands to recover. If single deck it evens your odds a little. I like to bet little in the beginning, then more aggressive towards the end of the time limit.

I used to deal Black Jack in a Casino, lol. Here's what I can say from the dealer... If you're counting, but tipping me nice, I'm oblivious. The eyes in the sky will catch up to you if you're not relatively discreet. There's not rules against it, it's just the Casino doesn't like to get taken. There's nothing wrong with playing cards smart. My advice there, learn to count cards.
You can't count cards, so here's some basics on playing the hand out (these may change a bit with count, but its not that big of a deal). Your Total/Dealers Up/Your Strat (H/S/D for Hit Stand Double) 9/26/D, 9/7A/H 10/29/D, 10/10A/H 11/2A/D H12/23/H, H12/46/S, H12/7A/H H13/26/S, H13/7A/H H14-16/26/S, H14-16/7A/H H17-21/2A/S S13-16/23/H, S13-16/46/D, S13-16/7A/H S17/26/D, S17/7A/H S18/2,78,A/S, S18/36/D, S18/910/H S19-21/2A/S How to read that... Say you're looking at H12/46/S... On your Hard 12, with dealer having a 4 through 6 up, Stand. Another (10/29/D), on your 10, dealer having 2 through 9 up, Double. Always split As and 8s. Never split 10s and 5s. Never take Insurance (because you can't count. If you can, you're buying information). You normally raise bets agains the count. The more favorable the deck, the more you increase your wager. But you can't count cards. I'd probably try hard to at least pay attention to the 10s that go out and increase wagers as the shoe ends if you have a favorable deck in that regard. Easy count is +1 for 3-6 and -1 for 10. Divide this by approximate half decks in the shoe to get your "true count" approximation. If it's +, increase your bet. A solid rule would be to add a chip to your wager for every whole number your true count is + (although you'd want to start doubling that at +3 if you were being smart). It's hard to win in Black Jack by blindly increasing your wagers. If you can't/won't count, then I'd try to be semi-consistent with your bets. |

kccrow you're saying learn to count cards, then saying you can't count cards. Great post. I like it. But I'm confused.
I learned how to count cards throughout all of 2016. I practice at home occasionally now. But I never used it at a real table. |

And splitting 10s is an aggressive move that might be a good one in a tournament if you are behind and need to play catch-up. |

1 tip I like to give is to use the unit ladder system.
In games like Baccarat and blackjack, if you're not counting cards in blackjack, then use the ladder system. Basically start at the minimum bet. Regardless of how low it is, just start there. When you win a hand, stay at your base bet. When you lose a hand, add one unit towards the next hand. For instance, the base bet is $5. You lose that bet. Add 1 unit. Your bet is now $10. You lose that bet. Your next bet is now $15. Now say you win that bet, you move back down to $10. Keep track of your bets, don't lose track of your ladder. It's all about bankroll. If every bettor left the casino or quit gambling after being up $40 the casinos would go bankrupt. The problem is people always have this urge to hit a certain $ goal amount when they walk into the casino. It's EASY to get up $40 at a table game. But you can do that within 10 minutes. It's not fun for people to leave after 10 minutes. They keep playing until they end up losing. |
