Good information. I would also pull players off the 6-5 and continuously shuffled games whenever I’m in a casino. It’s important that these awful tables remain empty at all times. This will cut casino profits from these games and it make it easier to find better games again.
Table #2 is the best. It has highest rounds per hour, S17, better penetrative, it is heads up play, it has low min and very high max. All better for advantage player
As a beginner I’m not gonna lie with a full table I appreciate a slower dealer/players that talk for a moment. Sometimes I just need a second to catch up
To boost your Blackjack game: sharpen your basic strategy until it’s second nature, vary your bet size based on hot and cold streaks, avoid insurance at all costs, and keep your bankroll tight. Play with a clear head, know when to walk, and let small, smart wins build up over time-this is the real edge.
Basic strategy, yes. Very your bets based on the count - not streaks. Take insurance at true counts of +3 or higher. Play with as big of a spread as your bankroll allows. Clear head, yes. Walk away in negative counts. Play as many hours as you can, and the law of large numbers will work itself out. -this is proven again and again with millions of hands of computer simulated rounds - if we put it into practice, you will win over time as long as your game is perfect.
Question for you. I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere online. When the true count is +2 or higher, and you have an 8 vs dealer 6, you deviate, and instead of hitting, you double down. I’m wondering, do you also deviate from splitting if you have 4,4? Do you still just double down? Or do you split the 4’s?
Split. You have an opportunity to get more money on the table with doubling after split, whereas with a double down, you only get that one extra bet out there.
Hey Steaksauce, I don’t think there is a clear winner. The choice is between 2 and 3. Choice 3 allows you to Wong in. Choice 2 does not. The penetration percentage difference is 4%. The S17 with better pen on game two is better no doubt, but the lack of Wong and having to play neg may not make game 2 the better choice. I choose a back and forth between 2 and 3. What’s the correct answer?
I think a back and forth idea is great!! In fact, depending on my bankroll size, there is a good chance, I'd watch the guy playing on table 3 and see if the count shoots up, then Wong in. If I have a large BR, and just want rounds per hour, I'd choose table 2. If the double deck table allowed midshoe entry I'd Wong in towards the end in every high Count! Lol, lots of good answers as there are lots of variables!
#2 has the best numbers but I would end up at table #1.... Still in my fledgling stage I'm pretty slow. So while there is more happening at the table most of it doesn't actually involve me
1. Great use of "fledgling" 2. It's not a bad option! Especially for beginners. Relatively low risk, and especially if it's dealt face up, it should be easy enough to count everyone's hands at that low of an rph.
Against a 6, yes. Against other dealer's up cards, there are other counts. When I edited this video, I also noticed I didn't say against a dealer's 6 like that particular card said, and I should have to clear any confusion.
Videos on card counting will be limited on viewership as the audience will be mostly those living in USA. Everywhere else in the world has mostly switched to CSM for the blackjacks.

Table #2
Hey. I would pick table 2. The S17, the bet spread, penetration and rounds per hour are perfect in my opinion.
Good information. I would also pull players off the 6-5 and continuously shuffled games whenever I’m in a casino. It’s important that these awful tables remain empty at all times. This will cut casino profits from these games and it make it easier to find better games again.
Table #2 is the best. It has highest rounds per hour, S17, better penetrative, it is heads up play, it has low min and very high max.
All better for advantage player
Table 2 since relative to others good pen and more rph great video
As a beginner I’m not gonna lie with a full table I appreciate a slower dealer/players that talk for a moment. Sometimes I just need a second to catch up
I took my friends to Vegas for their first time back in April, had a dealer straight up lie to me about the table being 3 to 2..
Did you report it to the pit boss? Make a big enough deal, and they might get you some free play or something?

I thought I was a near perfect BS player until I really started looking at the soft hands. I was way off on those.
Awesome tips. Can you make a video on best ways to mitigate backoffs and maximizing playing time without sacrificing much EV?
Act like a gambler! Lol.. there is no cut and dry thing I can say that will 100% gain you more time.
Is it possible to get 150 rounds in “Wonging” out of negative counts? It seems that one must play through -1,-2 even -3
to get in 125-150 hands/hr. ?
It's probably not possible unless you were a big player and had others spotting at other tables for you.

@ ok! Thanks so much for the answer. I’m surprised this hasn’t come up anywhere on any charts or any videos I’ve ever seen about deviations.
@henrythemasterful I made one about 4-4 vs. 4: ua-cam.com/video/IOZAdzE9CQQ/v-deo.htmlsi=Lp1C1olFV56gTtzy
Table 2 is the clear winner.
Table 2
Rounds played, stand on 27, and pen.
Definitely table 2 s17 highest bet spread most rounds per hr and last but not least easy counting
Not easy counting? What do you mean?

Rph on second table is also way better

2nd deck, low penatration, mire rounds per hour and heads up
Wouldn’t the casinos just get the apprenticship, and look up this info on their staff?
No, They don't train their whole staff how to count cards.
Should you really split 10’s when the count is a true 4?
Against a 6, yes. Against other dealer's up cards, there are other counts. When I edited this video, I also noticed I didn't say against a dealer's 6 like that particular card said, and I should have to clear any confusion.
Table 2 fosho
CSM is everywhere, end of card counting..

Refuse to play CSM! If we hurt their bottom line, they will bring them back. Additionally, there are PLENTY of hand-dealt games still.
2 cause its better pen and faster
