Sun Runner: Illus 18

[Sun Runner]

BJA tells me the Ill 18(22) for a HiLo 4D game cut 75%.

Cacarulo posted in April 2000 an Ill 18 for a HiLo 6D S17 75% game.

Is there available an Ill 18(22) for HiLo SD H17?

Thanks.

Sure. It's in BJA2, p. 195 and will be in BJA3, p. 213. Due to more recent simulation methods, a couple of indices may have changed.

Sure enough!

I was surprised at the little overall difference between SD and the generic multi-deck Ill 18 I play with.

The Insurance index was an eye opener, between SD and multi-deck. I've missed a few plays there!!

8 v 5&6. Is that a counter tell in SD; do the civilians ever double an 8?

Unlike the old guys, I learned BJ on 6D shoes and have generally stayed away from SD -although I do like the quick pace of it. Am gearing up this summer to play alot of SD. I feel like a bit of my education is lacking. I may get burned in every joint West of the Mississippi but it should be fun if I can hold onto the bank.

Thanks again for all the exceptional insights.

Not such an eye-opener. People double on 5, 6, and 7! Eight is fairly common.

You're more than welcome.

That's funny you should say that.

Just the other night I was sitting at a table with 3 people and myself.

The funny thing was that all 3 of them doubled on a hard 8 against a dealer 6 in the same hand.

I was smiling inside, mostly because the count was so bad I was gonna take a bathroom break in the middle of the whole thing.

Low and behold enter Standard Deviation, the 3 of them got bad cards and all 3 won the hand.

Go figure:

Anyway, that being said, I find many people handle hard 8's the same way they do 9's.
