Doesn’t look like they have a full set together? Is it all separate?
@A1-BJ16 минут бұрын
I see what you mean. Looks like their monte carlo sets are sold out, but you can buy them as separate chips ($5 for 25 or any denomination). They do, however, have a few different kinds of chip sets still available. If you search "piker chip sets" For example, their Imperial Chips are very nice! And my code works on anything on the site: A1BJ

THE COUNT IS 0
@GK-gc9cv2 күн бұрын
Obviously low count is bad, but cant you help mitigate it a little by deviating strategy, not doubling in risky positions (like 11 vs T) and hitting more aggressively knowing bust chance is lower?
@A1-BJКүн бұрын
There are deviations for negative counts, yes. But not playing during negative counts is even better.

Very good practice for this beginning so. I caught 1 of you count misses and the quick flash, “ did you catch that?” Help me to realize that I caught it, but thought that I was mistaken when you called different than I did. But if I had to call out like you did, I wouldn’t have kept the count past one hand, two at most. Very instructive. Thank you

Great vid hope you make more in this series. Question to anyone, is 4 deck with 3 deck pen. Better then 6 deck with 4.5 pen? I assume the 6 deck yet I'm think the 4d because of the V word.?? Ty also I've never seen a 4 deck before now. Might make a good vid. Why 2 deck is better then 6 etc. Or 4 vs 6 or even single deck. I play at a local with 1 deck but they drop and reshuffle at will. So its not worth it. Even seen a dealer do it after 1 hand 2 players at table. I was like ok byebye. Lol

Question- is there a count where you shouldn’t double vs a 5 or 6? Or is it always a double no matter what the count? (Now if the count is -5, I’m probably out of the shoe anyway, unless, there’s a few people at the table and the count dropped that low on this hand.)

I have a question, if the dealer has a 4, and you're dealt a pair of 4's, (ignoring the side bets), what's the best move. Assuming the count is at least a true 1, do we hit. Split. Or double down. I'm thinking probably double down, there's a slight edge at that point to getting an 18. I'm thinking splitting 4's wouldn't be that good of a move, you might end up with 2 hands of 14, which is pretty weak against a dealer 4.
@A1-BJ3 күн бұрын
4-4 vs. 4 is always a hit, never split. The true count to double down 8 vs. 4 is super high, and is an expanded deviation, so it doesn't really matter to know it.
@brnmcc013 күн бұрын
@@A1-BJ Oh wow, how high? I was thinking maybe TC +4 or higher. Good point about doesn't really matter to know it. It's very rare to begin with, then coupled with the fact it's also rare to get to that high of a count, it's like a 1 in a million thing, I was just curious as a hypothetical.
