Dear members,

i have just become a new member of this famous forum and i promise i'll try to contribute to this site as much as i can.

For the beginning i have a simple question to you:
I started to learn the Basic Omega II and Adv.Omega II system a few month ago, but i still need to practice until i turn to casino play.
But now i have the chance to join a private bj-game and i don't think i should miss it:

4 people; one of them is alternately the casino; and now the rules:
they play with one or max. two decks which are dealt down to the last card!! S17, no hole card, no SR , no DAS, no soft DD

First i have to say that those people are not my friends and they have actually more money than i have. They know the basic strategy but they do not count.
my questions now are: -what is my edge in this game?
- how can i survive best being the casino? (risk of ruin for 2000? stake)
- is there a simpler strategy i can use for this game before i mastered Omega II ?
- what is my expected win/hour ? (bet spread: 5 to 25?; even more of course if the last cards of the deck are played)

it would be grateful if someone could answer those questions.
I apologize for all grammar and spelling errors due to the fact that it is not my mother tongue.

sincerly
Lance
