Okay, time for a bs test, 6d shoe game h17 no surrender, double after split forget true count, forget about your dollar bet basic strategy. What do you do
22v2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
33v2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
44v2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,19
I won't p ask about 55
66v2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,19
77,0v2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
88,pv2,,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
99,v2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

too lazy to look up anything, Takng a shot at your test...
2,2, double 2-7, stand 8,9,10
33, same as above.
4,4, split against 5,6, hit on others
6.6, same as 2,2
7,7, same as 2,2
8,8, always split (but with high TC, may stand)
9,9, split 2-9, except 8

Not withstanding the double vs. Split comment, which I will construe as being simply a brain fart, 4 errors, depending on how u clarify 88. The test was not meant for u to look up, but to answer iff the top of your hand. Errors are
66v7, clarify 88, 99v7 which is a non split (tc3 to split) and nit splitting 99v8. Btw, my typing sucks.

The point is, no offence here - you are incredibly dumb, or absolutely brilliant or a combination thereof assuming this may be a long term leg pull. If your answer is serious, retire to a non gaming state.

Split dealer 2 through 7 on 2,3, and 7.
Split dealer 4 or 5 with 4,4; alright?
Five and Face is a saving grace. Double 5's, 2 through 9, otherwise hit. Faces are bases, never split!
6,6 for 2 through 6.
9,9 split best for all times; except when 7, 10, and A grace the place.
And my favourite:

Always split Aces and 8's.

My apologies on the prior .comment, don't misconstrue.
Your bs is sub standard
You play lousy rules and pen
You don't spread enough
You don't make the right play when larger dollars are out in the felt
You don't have much of a library for reference
You don't have software
The blue pill you've taken to firm up your shoebox will start to fizzle. You need to make some serious decisions regarding your BJ future.

You're new to the board - you did make a typo, which I construed as accidental as you clarified - pertained to 44. Good.

Zee, I inew this shit probably 1 week into my BJ endeavour.

The issue was with the way my text was outlined. I wanted it in a list form as it is now ,instead of sentence form as it is with the text in your previous correspondence.

The salient point is, that as a rookie, you took it upon yourself to learn basics that will assist you in your endeavour. You may or may not have a winning game at this point, however, you have at minimum, improved your skills that will at least minimize your expense.

It's not the easuest of roads. If you have the will, resources can be provided to help you in your journey.

I have had BS down cold the last 2-3 years. While a level one player I am, the venture right now is a level n system. I have been researching a better count. Like everyone here: from the novice to the best, we are all learning. If you feel there is no more for you to gain in knowledge about blackjack or that you "know it all", then you will certainly fail in the long run.

Kinda liked the rhyme time to memorize BS... well 'cept for the fours split
Cracker jacks will rot your teeth...esp. if you never brush I used to pick through the damn popcorn lookin' for the peanuts & the prizes were....... underwhelming
Zee, you seem like such a nice fellow but dude.... take up bowling or something

As Freightman posted an addendum, I will say that Zee, you've come this far (I think). Can you accurately do TC conversions based on deck estimation... I'm sorta wondering now, based on the "test". You're my age , a little older, don't you suspect you've earned the right to do what you damn well please (within reason, excluding titty bars, whores, cocaine etc. LOL). You drive the members friggan' crazy. Because of your honesty on this site, we see, as you do I suspect, that your BJ skilz are retarded for many reasons. "Retarded" being the root definition of said word... not because..well you know what I mean. You ain't no dummy.
all the best to you and yours!

Actually, despite all that criticize make fun etc., I think Zee is good for the site. Yes, he drives people nuts, yes, people do ignore him, yes he's probably trolling, and yes, his threads get a lot of action and after the Zee trashing, some good stuff emerges. As far as the titty bars massage parlours etc, I think he likes those joints also, you know, the ones where poor girls go from rags to rigids. Also, don't discount the possibility that Zee might be playing a non stop pretend I'm an idiot routine - only Zee can clarify that one.

Your basic strategy test shows a lot of errors. A word of wisdom for you:

Using basic strategy will reduce the house edge against the player to the minimum. Not using basic strategy may give the casino such a large advantage that no counting strategy will be able to turn the edge to the player. It is up to you what you want to do right now.
