    Hollywood: Don, i'm getting ready to have

    my first 2 deck experience. Understanding that I am only able to play in AC, I don't get an opportunity to play in 2 deck games. However, where I am going (according to BJ forum) has one of the best 2 deck games around.
    Don, in a previous post (3/7) of yours, you indicated that in 6 deck games at +5 you go to 2 hands of 12 units. Which is exactly what I do.
    But, are you saying at +4 you do the same thing in a 2 deck game. (2 hands of 12 units)
    Sometimes, when I read a post, I get a little confused. I just needed some clarification.
    Also Don, I only play KO. Trust me, i'm not smart enough to use the other systems, (I tryed).
    So would this +4 on 2 and +5 on 6 be correlated to the KO system.

    Regards,

    No, I go to two hands of SIX units, for a total of 12 units!! You've never seen me write anywhere that I go to two hands of 12 units.

    My 2-deck betting scheme is clearly defined in BJA. See p. 84, or any of the Chapter 10 charts, for example. In general, if spreading 1-6, I'll top out at 6 units at +4 or higher. If you think you can get away with 1-8 (I would highly discourage this), bet the 8 at +5. You won't get many opportunities, in any event, especially if you parlay up.

    No problem. Just ask.

    How about this: tell me your bank and the exact game rules you'll be playing, along with a desired spread you think you can get away with, and we'll figure out an optimal betting ramp, OK?

    Sorry about that Don, that's my terrible way of explaining things. When I said 2 hands of 12 units, I meant 2 hands at 6 units each.
    But here goes info.

    number of decks: 2 deck shoe game
    Miniumum Bet: $100.00
    Maximum Bet: 2 hands at 6 units per hand
    bank roll: $50,000.00
    *rules: DOA, DAS
    *allows split 4X

    I guess that's all of it Don.
    I know i'm a pain sometimes, but after you, the next place I get good info is from my rabbi.

    Quite a great game! You didn't mention pen, which is very important, but I'm going to assume 60%.

    I'm also not going to entertain two hands of 6, because, if this is a live game, you'll get thrown out in a heartbeat, so let's top out at ONE hand of 6, OK?

    For $46,000 of bank (correct Kelly bank for this scheme), you can bet $200 at +1, $400 at +2, and $600 at +3 and higher (I'm assuming hi-lo).

    You'll make $206 per hour, assuming three players total.

    LOL!!

    Good luck!
