My First Card Counting Trip (Solo)!

[@l00t3rsp00n]

I absolutely love the at home re-enactment of what went down. Great stuff! Keep it coming!

[@DoomaBJ]

Appreciate the support!

[@samweirich5973]

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.

[@alexfield3164]

Was good to watch a more realistic play with a bankroll that’s not 1/4 of a mil. Good stuff when I’m just getting into it man.

[@DoomaBJ]

Thanks man

[@OnlyUseMeBIades]

@@DoomaBJwhat that guy said 😂… it’s true, cause MOST of us starting out don’t have BIG bank rolls. So starting with 300 is more realistic to the non rich foke 😂

[@Bunny2128]

how is it going?

[@majormushu]

A lot of those people doing 1/4 mil arent doing 1/4 mil out of pocket. There are investors that will give money to card counters for a cut of the winnings and that's how they usually get that 1/4 mil.

[@3DGFan9000]

i think the reason is the variance is so big that the small bankroll won’t be able to cover the losses to continue.

[@dereck062]

can't wait to see more trip reports, great job!

[@DoomaBJ]

Thanks man!

[@zuai946]

[@Cheesemax595]

1:45 That's hilarious and totally something I would do lol. Awesome video!

[@djlauren8661]

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.

14, what a beautiful number! Been learning CC for the last 5 months and have my first casino BJ game in LV next week. Will be red chipping to get a feel for it, but videos like these definitely help me comprehend what I'll be expecting.

[@DoomaBJ]

Those 14s almost gave me a heart attack

[@ИвайлоКачаков]

How did it go? Are you still doing it?

[@chenryrex]

Your splits made me think about once at Southland Casino, when I had been Martingaling and got to $400. I got dealt two aces against the dealer's six. I had to split. I got another ace. I split again, then got an ace again and split again. I got another ace! It was the last split allowed by that casino. I did. I got fours and threes as my next cards on each ace. I had $1,600 on the table. The dealer's hole card was a four! My heart sank. Then the dealer drew a five and a nine and busted!! The people from other tables cheered. LOL

[@samuelelkins4497]

Thanks homie

I'm glad you shared your experience! This is the kinda thing I'd do if I were to go counting. Not really some high roller career counting thing, but more just for fun and a little extra spending money when work is slow. Hope you get that windshield fixed though!

[@Terran0va_Plays]

I counted cards at my local casino. Took $100 all the way to $800. I know it was a super good run, but everyone else at the table thought i was clueless and that i just had extreme beginners luck. Since i told them, i had only just learned to play 😆

[@DoomaBJ]

They always think I'm stupid lmao

[@Branden69420]

Nice man. I am close to going to casino. Just need to learn my deviations and make sure my basic strategy is on point. As far as countering, I watch A1BJ and I can get through his 6 deck videos without losing count. Not even off by one. Close but practice practice! Nice video bro! Get that cheese!

[@buddmcstudd6994]

Not a bad trip. Funny to see you out in delaware. Good luck on your future trips

[@c.w.m.8961]

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!

[@DoomaBJ]

3 deck pen is bad for society

[@jamesfreeland4978]

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

[@DoomaBJ]

Stay up bro

[@steve6631]

[@agent0422]

This is unintentionally the greatest anti-ad for card counting. Driving to different casinos, eating quickly in the parking lot just to play more and having to deal with degenerate gamblers sounds and looks like hell. At that point, might as well get a regular job.

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. Keep up the good work! And feel free to tell us the rules of the game you play, how many decks, etc.

[@klauslun]

you don't. you need to start with a new shoe

[@I000-j1e]

if im not mistaken no you do not split 4s on anything tell me im wrong with a chart plz

[@Savagemister]

I had two 4s against the dealer 6 once and when I said I want to split, everyone including the dealer got all on me telling me that is NOT basic strategy correct. I went through with it, and won and the table was silent.

My first time, I was just trying to keep count, wasn't changing my bet or anything, just seeing if I could do it on the big stage. 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.
