hello... I was wondering if anyone could point me to or generate a full set of indexes for the game I am playing...
8d, DAS, H17, no surrender, A's get one card no resplit, dealer peaks... Hmmm are there are other elements I am forgetting?
And yes I know that's not a great game... but it's close to me and many dealers give insane pen. The most I've seen is 1.5d cut off which is their guideline.. But most dealers only cut off 1d and I've seen some do more like 0.75d - which makes for some interesting final hands of the shoe.
I've been playing the classic 18 indexes... But I know there are times when my gut tells me I am making the wrong plays because I don't know more indexes... Like doubling a 9 vs an 8. vs 7 it's +3... but what about vs 8? +7? Actually in that situation I'd have a max bet out and would probably play risk averse and give up my tiny bit of extra EV.
Any advice on risk aversion is welcome too... I'm a pretty low stakes player... I only play a ~2hrs a week on average.
I also also curious to opinions on BR management. (I need to read some books!) Like how much to bring with me at one time and what % of my trip BR should be my max bet... My max bet is usually around 10% of my trip BR. I am guessing 5% would be better - but I generally only play for an hour or so. My trip BR is maybe 30% of my entire BR. Should I be bringing my entire BR? I'd hate to bust out in a huge count. I almost did recently and was pretty upset with myself. I was playing too high stakes - I was with my sister and it was a Sat night. $20 min tables. I normally play $10. And I was spreading (stupidly) $20-150 on a $600 trip BR. I wasn't planning on playing any BJ that night but she talked me into it. Almost got wiped out when I had max bet out and got split double double... Won that hand and did the exact same thing 2 hands later and quickly cashed out up $775. From the brink of disaster to my biggest BJ win ever in the course of 3 minutes. It was stupid play for sure... I wasn't making mistakes in play but in BR management.
Also if it's not allowed or kosher to ask for someone to generate indexes for me feel free to delete this post... I don't want to cross any lines... I know I could spend some $ on Norm's awesome apps and generate this myself... but I am such a casual player I just don't think it's worth it for me. Money wise and time wise. I can memorize indexes while I am at work... but I can't install any software.
