Moving to Vegas in Future

[paymypush]

This is off topic, when you have good size bet out, got 8/8. the correct way shouldn't be concede defeat, stop and wait for your luck? Because the count likely is high, splitting is only add more money to the hole.

In shoe games I surrender 8,8 vs 10 at +1 and I stay at +5 if surrender is not offered.

There are large chunks of the country that do not offer surrender. Most people in the Midwest and the south never even heard of it. I was playing in LV and surrendered a hand. A guy from Memphis was at the table and said "What did he just do?"

First is the $500 max bet. $500 is one of those threshold amounts (like $100 and $1000) that draws more attention than playing just under that amount. So if $500 is your top bet range, I would play either $400 or $450 instead. If you are going to crack that $500 threshold that draws additional attention in many places, you might as well make it worth your while and go well beyond.

Oh, I agree with you. The Original poster proposed the 2@$100 to 2@$500 spread, not me. I think 2@$300 with a supermax of 2@$450 works quite well as a top bet in Vegas provided you can find $50 or lower shoes to play. The only heat spot spreading generates on shoe games is in your imagination, particularly if you jump to two spots at a fairly low bet timed with losing a hand and a need to change up the flow. The dealer will often encourage you to add a spot. I like to start with two spots, drop to 1 spot, then go back to two spots and sometime just randomly go from 1 to 2 spots in neutral counts. It gives the casino absolutely nothing to judge your skill levels by.

On double deck, of course, that's another story. But I don't play double deck in Vegas (with a few exceptions). I plan on being a fulltime resident of LV by this spring but still plan to put most of my play in elsewhere. I just like Vegas because of networking opportunities, cheap cost of living, the weather, and the fact that it's an airport hub for many airlines.

Oh boy! There goes the neighborhood.

It gets even worse! My target date is about a year from now.

I'm thinking 6 months and a day for residency purposes. The other 5 months and 30 days in the cooler midwest.

That can be a good thing for you because it has a lot that can help someone who visits according to my personal experience whcih was recently during thousand islands cruises and everything worked quite goodly for me.

Uh.... so is this guy/spambot getting banned soon or what?

Bots have feelings too!!! Poor little feller..

[Casino Kid]

How terribly insensitive of me.

By the way, the kid has moved to Las Vegas in April 2017, after toying this idea for 3 years. He acquired $50K for the bankroll. Another $18K for one year living expense. The plan is to spend only $800 on rent and $300 on meals every month. I just began to read his log. Unfortunately, his BR took a hit on the first two week. He has lost $10K.

At first I was reading this post and then saw all the reply were from 2014. I was confused until I saw the reluvent updated info.

I hope he bonces back next week. Good to see he had 1 year living expenses instead of living off his playing bankroll as his liferoll.

You would think that his food expense would get comped. That or go back to college diet of raumen noodles and sometimes an egg.

Blackjack is a crazy game. The last update I saw. He cut 10K loss to 1600. The kid posted a lot here before got banned by Norm, so he moved to WoV. In the beginning, regular AP in WoV were wondering if he is real or just some pit boss trolling. So he was invited to an AP party in LV. And many known AP vouched for him after the meeting. Now he got less heat in WoV.

Don't know if people here still remember him (ZenKing a.k.a. Lonewof).

This is his story:
