    That's awesome news! I'm so pumped that a casino is opening up so close to you! 15 minutes away is nothing, so it will be super easy to get there.

    It’s obvious that there isn’t very much probability for TC<=-3, so your cost of wrongfully playing this 16v.10 hand is still about $2.65 per hour. What is more important is the hit/stand critical TC...

    Well, if you are counting using a system like Hi-Lo, you should simply run two simulations, one with the 16vT index set to 0 and the other with the 16vT index set to -2. Then you compare both SCOREs...

    Correct. Is there an easy way to get a rough estimate? It seems always standing is a little too costly for cover given the frequency of the hand. But, it also seems to be one of the major things they...

    Hey there, I totally agree with you on this one. Kat is definitely deserving of being considered for the HoF, and I'm glad to see that others in this thread feel the same way. While I understand the...

    Yes, I misunderstood. Sorry. I actually hesitated when reading, to see that I wasn't doing it backwards and then worded my answer incorrectly anyway. :concern: Don

    This question is tricky. The answer depends on how you obtained your HiLo TC numbers. Did you floor or truncate?

    I think the OP wants to know the cost of standing at TC>=-2 and hitting below -2.

    There's something known as "counter's basic strategy" which calls for standing on all 16vT to look less obvious. I don't have a reference for you (Don?), but always standing makes more sense than...

    "It will obviously be a little more, but not all that much." Shouldn't the cost be a little less? When I say standing down to TC-2, I mean that I will be hitting 16 v10 at anything worse than...

    It will obviously be a little more, but not all that much. If you look at the graph of the play, the differences between hitting and standing, down to -2, are virtually inconsequential, particularly...

    I know from table 7.3 (bja3, pg.99) that always standing on 16 v 10 will cost the $100 bettor $2.65 per hour. Is there an easy way to figure out the cost of standing down to TC -1, -2?

    You simply want the expectations for every holding against every dealer upcard. Those are readily found at wizardofodds.com, in Appendix A of BJA3, and in Wong's Professional Blackjack. Don
