@ 10:05, 12v5 at TC-2 hit? Looks like you were thinking about that deviation!

[@A1-BJ]

Yeah... I definitely should have hit it! I was really grinding my gears on that one, then again, I might have just been thinking about supper 🍔 lol. Good catch!

[@rishabh5750]

This is exactly what I was going to comment too, the pause caught me off guard I thought he would hit hah

[@Lune___.]

it’s -1.25

[@Anon_Jinx]

@@Lune___. count is -4 at that point, so it's a -2 (with some decimals)TC with less than 2 decks remaining. Unless you're counting the low card burn (that you don't know and shouldn't assume to know)

[@Lune___.]

@@Anon_Jinx yes, i was talking about the 12vs5 deviation, the tc index is -1.25. i know the running count was -4

[@EaganChris]

I went from session 1 to 3 and started with $53,725 using my system! Cashed out with a $4,750 Profit!!

[@A1-BJ]

Sounds like you might enjoy the even weeks, too! ♠️ 😎 patreon.com/A1Blackjack?Link

I started doing this with my bet spread and my BR I started with 5k first week lost $75 didn't do the second week, and now I'm at 4895 for a total loss of 105 and a session loss of $30

[@A1-BJ]

Sounds like you needed that second week 😉

@@A1-BJ yeah for sure however I'm not worried I know it doesnt depend on the session just the hours and playing perfectly

Hey A1, recently I was practicing the free drill from BJA and I think they were wrong in one particular scenario, I had an 8,8 vs a 10 ( the answer from the app is to split, but as Colin suggest, your first option to analyze is to surrender, then split, then double....) so I want to know your opinion in this particular hand Thank you very much

[@CluelessNerd]

I believe the thought process is if you split 8s and get a 10 you're now on 18 and your chances of getting a surrender dealt to you are slimmer than the benefits of splitting 8s

[@A1-BJ]

8-8 is a surrender vs. 10 at a true count of +1. I bet you had deviations turned on, and the count was +1 or higher.

[@gustavopazrequejo6691]

A1 what do you think about "wonging" as the size of my Bankroll is not that big I sit on the table and count until I get a TC+1.5 then bet. I know the EV depends on how much I bet, but would you run a simulation and do a video about it?. I think I'm in the same place as many of you viewers so I might be helpful

[@A1-BJ]

I addressed it on my course, but this video talks a little about it too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lamzkH-kgN1smNksi=klacDkk2-ATPUSGy

Hello A1 I wanted to share something with you. apparently were not supposed to open up until a true 5 playin heads-up with the dealer unless there’s another player at the table in which we would always open up at a true two. Apparently it makes it too risky when you have another player at the table to only ask for one in high counts. What do you think?

[@A1-BJ]

I think it depends on all variables. I'd say run the numbers..for.your specific game and decide what YOU want, higher EV, lower risk, a combination? There is no one size fits all.

[@bananaman8133]

@@A1-BJ hmm ok I’m new to this so I don’t know much I took this other players advice his names Quattro ap u should check him out he’s really good. When you say variables how would you calculate that to determine how much spots u should play or how risky it would be? Thank you a1 your the best. Keep up the vids
