What Percentage of Blackjack Players Have Basic Strategy Memorized?

Offer a buck or two to every person you meet and ask a BS question. If they have it wrong, that's a lead and you can sell them a $20 book.

That's what Munchkin does to see if anyone he gave advice to learn BS ACTUALLY learned it. He always jokes about asking, "how do you play A7?". Maybe he should order the books at a discount and claim a royalty/commission from all that he hands out or sells.........LOL (Seems like to me the answer to Munchkin's question might take up an entire rule from the "simple 5" named by OP........LOL)

Now you are thinking Zee! Then ask them an ill 18 question and if they are stumped you can sell them Dons book and he will give you a commission.

Screw the commission. Buy discounted wholesale, sell retail less 10% (parking lot sale) and pocket the spread.

Pretty shrewd thinking...for a retired guy. Lol

Not fully - I put in a gruelling 4.5 hours last week - all on Thursday. I was so tired afterwards, I took a nap.

[ZeeBabar]

That's what im saying...pace yourself. Lol

has there been a survey done by age of AP's? Are there any past 70?

[Norm]

Are there any past 70?

Yes.

[Freightman]

Yes.

So, nu - what's the breakdown?

[ZeeBabar]

Yes.

So my whole act of forgetting where I put my phone, my car, "how much did I lose today" after a bad session where I pretend i only lost $300 and "onset of slight dementia" and other such acts may not be working????

The man is a card, and should be dealt with

At least one of them is going up!

What was the question?

I think most players have a good understanding of basic strategy. You do hear bizarre theories about not splitting 66v2 and hitting instead or never splitting cards that start with an F (similar to only eat oysters in an R month). You see players doubling eleven v ace and this whatever the count, others doubling 8 like they would 9. Most of the time people know BS pretty well, actually. The issue is when they call you for a deviation. And then treat you like an amateur. I had a ploppy tell me I should leave because I did not know what I was doing. Or maybe it was my playing drunk?

You may find theses are on opposite trajectories!
