In Illustration 18 (H17), the deviation is to double 9 vs. 7 at a true count of +3. However, in Don Schlesinger's chart, the recommended index for this play is +4. I'm curious about this discrepancy...
I believe splitting aces is allowed at least that's been my experience over the past couple of months at Great Casino Resorts. What stands out to me most, though, is the $100 minimum bet. It...
Last time I went to Pickering Casino Resort in August 2024 it was 8 decks, $100.00 minimum bet, no resplitting aces, terrible penetration (up to 3 decks cut out depending on dealer).
You mentioned Woodbine min $100. High limit as I recall was min $100 with fairly decent cut h17 with no surrender. Make sure your roll is solid before play8ng that game. They also hassled me at the...
Are there any decent casinos in Ontario? I know that both Woodbine and Pickering offer 6-deck H17 blackjack games, but unfortunately, they use continuous shuffling machines (CSMs). Their high-limit...

Pretty damned tough when you mostly play a lot of heads up.
Geez, I had a post deleted yesterday or the day before - Economics based though obviously someone construed as political. Something...
I don't play tables. I thought that when you play rated, the casino knows whether you are a winning player by tracking your buy-in and cash-out for every session. If the casino isn't consistent in...
We're getting this question a lot here lately. The summary of recent answers is:
When using indices, follow the instructions supplied by the author of the indices you are using. For Wong and...
The convention for hit/stand is to stand when the TC>=Index, so if the index for your 12 v 4 and 16 v 10 examples is zero, stand at TC>=0 and hit TC<0.
As you may know from my other post, I got backed off from my local and I am now playing at my last local left. I have played rated in the past and I continue to play rated at this spot. You kinda...
