    c-SCORE

    Hi

    I understand that c-SCORE is used to compare different games of spread tolerance and count systems to see which is more beneficial, but what is a solid c-SCORE. Like the average c-SCORE game? I see some posts around and they are in the low to high 20s, which get reviews as horrible. So is the 30-40 range average? 50-60 being the best you'll ever find?

    My bottom c-SCORE is at 31. My highest c-SCORE is around 45 (when 2-hand). So I guess I'm slightly averaged more towards 35. This is without full index. I messed with some plugs and saw c-SCORE of nearly 60. Is this even possible at the casino (long term wise)? Or you'll never have a game like this for long and only simulations.

    What is your c-SCORE game?

    The average is utterly irrelevant. I wouldn't play a 10 SCORE game even if it was "average." In different areas, the averages will be different. Vegas has lots of games over 100, but you'll get backed off very quickly playing them. I've played SCORES over 300 before. I usually like to play over 100, but I'm fine with 75.

    50 is usually the bottom of what is considered playable. A 50 SCORE will have a n0 of 20K. I would worry more about n0 than c-SCORE. Now they are related: n0 = 1,000,000/c-SCORE. You want a n0 of 20K or less or a c-SCORE of 50 or more. The variance outside this is tough on a solo player. Teams can get the total hands in quicker so the reach n0 faster.

    Depending on stakes and strength if bankroll, you need to add tolerance into the equation, which will often mean SCORE of 40-50 and less.

    I recently found a high heat game with n0 of about 10000 - now that was interesting.

    I agree with the posts so far, when you are BR challenged. With a large enough BR and stomach for the variance, you can attack lower games. 30 to 40 SCORES are what I normally play but only because I have both traits mentioned before.
