    This is actually a very entertaining video. I don't know if you were, are, or will be a good AP in the future, but like others have said, it's a great video for amateurs like me who play something resembling basic strategy but not much more than that.
    It's especially cool to see someone who fancies himself a card counter get so emotional about one big hand at the end like us normal folks do, but which more established card counters do not.
    Also very cool that you don't take yourself too seriously, and seem to have a good grasp that you still have a long way to go, and the general realities of the situation, while still making it seem more like fun than work.
    Good luck, whatever comes from this. I really enjoyed watching.

    Fun video! Always funny to see spots I've played before, I've definitely done some damage to Delaware Park. I tend to stay at the Raddison in Philly when I play that area, Parx has the best pen in the area and Rivers quite playable. Valley Forge used to be great until they started cutting their decks in half, fkin 3 deck pen you kidding me 🤦‍♀️
    It's nice to see a BJ content creator with the typical stakes one starts off at, I played these stakes for years before teaming up with a friend and taking my game more professional. Would love to see more content from you!
    Edit: hang on lol I've met you 😂😂 that blackjack meetup in Vegas was fun!

    I think everyone can relate to the feeling when you just keep on losing despite the count rising and staying up. And that last hand - man, that's when you really start shaking.

    Good stuff bro my first trip to the casino had a small bankroll. Bought in 500 lost 100 so fast I got worried then the count got amazing for the next 2 shoes went up about 600. Took a lunch break. Went up and down for about 3 hours. My brain got really tired (idk if smoking is allowed in your casino but man I lose focus when people smoke next to me) lost the count walked away. Came back a few hours later and pocketed 700 bucks. Card counting is really amazing but it really takes so much time and you have to have grit. I hope to run into one day!!! Best of luck to you

    I've had players get mad at me becuase I like to sit out a hand every once in a while. They give me the evil eye and say "You're gonna mess up the flow of the cards." The belief is that if a player sits out a hand that the dealer will catch a bunch of small cards and not bust. But I could easily make a counter argument that if I stay in the hand that I'll absorbed all the 10s (and thus bust out) while the dealer catches a lucky 5 or 6 and hit 21 and bust all the other players - had I sat out the hand the dealer would have caught a 10 and busted out. So yeah, that argument go both ways.
    It's such a foolish thought process. What's frustrating is that gamblers get so emotional about it rather than using some logic.

My last hand, I was down about $30-$40 so I put a bet out that would get me close to even. I stayed on a 17. Dealer gets an 18 and accidently pays me. I grab my chips and run from the table. Final total was down $5 after 3 hours.

    This mirrors my last session so closely it's almost uncanny. It was a rough string of variance in which I barely saw any high counts, and lost when I did. I was more than a little grouchy, and the dealer wisely read the room and cut back on the smalltalk while I sulked and played in silence.
    Then comes 33 against the dealer's 5 on what turns out to be the last hand of the shoe. Long story short, I wind up with the hand split 4 ways, $50 behind each hand, and not one total higher than 15. The rest of the table all had words to share about on the look on my face when the dealer busted on his 6th card.
    That $200 hand singlehandedly saved my session and was an ideal moment to color up and head home with my bankroll and psyche still intact.

    Happy that your learning to count, but if a split resplit and double that only totals $350 is a big bet for you than you are playing at a super high ror(especially on a $15 minimum table). Glgl, I've just seen too many guys try to play a 20k roll and get absolutely torched trying to spread on tables with minimums too high for there roll.

    Let's team up. It's easier to get hours in if you don't get backed up so fast. That casino was an anomaly.

      I think right now, my bets aren't big enough to cause pit bosses to care

    How much heat was you getting etc, did you feel like they were close to backing you off or anything

      None really, maybe a tiny bit at the end but I'm not betting enough for them to care.

    How do you get to $35/40 ev per hour with that bet spread? What are the rules there? If it's 8 decks there better be fantastic pen. Good luck thanks.

    • @DoomaBJ
      @DoomaBJ  Рік тому

      It is good pen, 1 deck or less

    Curious as to how you are calculating your ev with that spread you’d need to play about 120 rounds an hour which seems really high if you are wonging out below a true 1
