I don't think they have either Norm. My point simply being that when anybody is brave enough to take a position that the public sees, some folks will always disagree with them. I'm grateful for BJA,...
Dont know specifically about Portugal but there are A LOT of european players that read this forum, many of them with the capacity to destroy a game like that if stakes are high.
There have always been a significant minority of card counters across Europe,
If the limits are high enough it is worthwhile paying the airfare, even considering the one day per month only thing....
The csm doesn't change the fact you have a significant edge off the top. You don't need to count cards.
I doubt the opportunity will last much longer now you've posted it though. Unless the max is...
Reb, you're asking good questions and hopefully learning from all these great answers! I've found for myself, as I dive deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole it gets interesting seeing how the...

Hi, I live in Portugal. There is a casino near me.
They have Blackjack-Tables with bj-payout 3:2 , DAS, RSA , S17, european style (No Peek) with a CSM
I heard they would make a Promotion: every...
Hi Cac, apologies, I think I might have mistunderstood your earlier post. But that being said you raise an important point. In an optimum split caculation that maximizes the EV for the round. There...
Hi Eric,
Your post is making me rethink a lot of things. There are situations I would have never considered, like hitting with 6,6,6 or 6,6,8. I understand that to determine what is truly...
Hi ICT,
I'm not sure where I said that. In fact, I believe I said the opposite—that if I receive a six in Hand 1 and lack enough information to decide whether to resplit, I simply proceed with...
Hi Cac,
A couple of thoughts. The list of Split hands I had posted are for all scenarios where a resplit was possible and where it was computed to determine whether resplitting is the optimal play...
If you are randomly removing high anf low cards but you are not touching the 7 and 8 cards at all then you have completely screwed up your results.
8 has almost no effect of removal for the player...
You've identified a good example scenario here that highlights some important subtleties, and your question above is one of those subtleties. I concur with k_c's table, at least for the most part,...
Hi k_c,
Here is the full table of possible hands that can be generated for this example, covering both SPL1 and SPL2. Whenever the "x2" factor appears, it means the round is repeated twice, so...
Hi,
I do not have an algorithm for optimal splits other than SPL1 but I tried to surmise what may be happening from my CA. This is what I came up with. It seems the key to resplitting is an eight...
Hi ICT,
Thanks for the table! However, some hands are a bit confusing to me. For example, why does one hand have four sixes while another has two sixes and two eights?
In the first case, I would...
