My first time posting here and I'm very surprised to see a lot posts about AC. I've been a member of BJ21 for a while now and it's seems everyone there is opposed to playing in AC. In Fact AC is a dirty word over there.
Hollywood : Do you run into other counters when you play in AC? I've run into 2 red-green players but that was it. Also how many hours do you manage to get in AC every year, if you don't mind me asking?
Good cards to everyone.

Hi, and welcome to the neighborhood.
I am a bit surprised that they consider AC a bad thing.
Quite frankly, if a person lives on the east coast what would be better?
As long as conditions remain good, why would it matter where you play.
A great great player was recently telling me how he found a good game on a cruise he was recently on.
So, that being said. It's about conditions.
I would assume that they are referring to the fact that you basically are continuously playing against 6 decks. There are no 2 or 4 deck games in AC. A couple of casino's have adopted single deck games recently, but I have checked them out and they are not where you want to play.
But, it is a start, and I figure 2 and 4 deck games are right behind them.
The Bogata put a much bigger dent in the other 12 casinos then you can imagine. It has opened up a competitive market.
To answer your question, I never run into other counters in AC unless we have a pre-arranged meeting.
Because we guard our identities so carefully, I would not know who they are.
If i'm sitting at a table and I notice another person is counting, I move. I don't like sitting with other counters.
I think it looks bad when 2 people start raising there bets at the same time.
I play about 800 to 1000 hours a year in AC.
More in the summer then the winter.
Happy cards,
Hollywood
I agree with Hollywood. AC is good enough if you live in the area. As for BJ21 Green Chip, I used to belong there, but unfortunately, the quality/quantity of posters leave alot to be desired. The East Coast page is virtually dead, so that is why there is nobody around to discuss AC. Very disappointing. The only good thing they offer is CBJN, which I enjoy, but like Hollywood has said, the conditions change so rapidly, it is really better to check things out on your own.
Good Cards,
GT

The biggest problem with AC is that the opportunities for the red/low green chip player are extremely limited. Finding an uncrowded $5 min 6D game is about as likely as finding a $100 chip on the floor.
Also, with the proliferation of casinos all over the country, there is really no reason for someone to travel a great distance in order to play AC.
However, for a local with sufficient bankroll it is a different story.
Thank you all for your comments. I think it's the lack of surrender that causes this. I know you can request surrender in AC casinos. Do you request it often? Do other high roller ploppies request surrender as well?

I never request surrender.
I find that playing blacks brings enough heat.
Even though it's an advantage I always feel they will watch me even closer then they already do.
I will sometimes sit at a table where another person requested it.
I figure if the request didn't come from me then I will not be the focus of attention.
When I do this, I usually call over a pit person to explain to me what it means (the surrender sign on the table) and how it works.
It's only after he gives me a crash course that I consider playing.

Mostly agree. The AC game still offers enough opportunities for the well bankrolled green-chipper. There are still enough 25$ minimum floor games available with a decent cut at the 4.5/6 level. Slow times Baccarat-pits games can be found, too. No mid-shoe entry is the general rule. That leave us, and assuming a 1-16 spread for a 400$ max. bet, with the necessity of having at least an 80K bankroll. Btw, the readers here at Don?s Domain should note, that having 200 times for your max.bet, may not be necessary at all. I simple belong to the ?conservative? school. Bankroll advices are always more a personal thing, than anything else.
For what I?ve seen there, the AC game is a no-no for the red-chips player. Simple a waste of time.
Sincerely
Zenfighter
Hi Hollywood,
Is it required for the casino to post a "Surrender allowed" sign, if a player gets approval for Surrender?
Good Cards,
GT

Hi GT:
I don't know if the surrender sign is a requirement.
However, I can tell you this.
The few times I have played surrender in AC, on every occasion the sign was up. Without exception.
