    Best US state for Blackjack

    If you could only pick one US state to play Blackjack in what would it be.

    Nevada is probably still #1 because of the choices and close easy distances. Another state might have better games but few casinos so you might only get to hit 1 or two on any day. It all depends upon your BR and your games.

    Unless you are playing high limit. Most Blackjack games in Pennsylvania are eight deck shoe games. The SCORE for an eight deck shoe is lower compare to six deck game. There are good six deck shoe games in low limit but not a lot.

    8 deck games can give great opportunities if you can play uncrowded. Imagine almost 2 decks more advantage bets at each opportunity. You spend about the same time assessing that a shoe is not worth continued play but a little more getting to big edges. The heat will be a little less. After all what AP would play an 8 deck game when a 6 deck game is right next to it? They figure an incompetent AP would. I have a little saying, If it is something no AP would do you should probably figure how to do it at an additional advantage or little cost. You don't want to fit the stereotype of an AP. That is half the battle. That is the most important thing about sliding under the radar. Before they have anything else they have the AP stereotype to consider. They may think you are not an AP or just an inept AP if you don't fit the stereotype of what all AP's do. Just understand why AP's all do something and figure out how to do it with little to no cost or maybe even with an additional advantage. Eventually they either decide you are incompetent or a threat worthy of a back off. Almost everywhere eventually you win enough to be the latter but the longer you can have them consider you the former the better off you are.

    It is good that they cannot bar you in MO but that doesn't necessarily mean you can rack up the hours unmolested. They have been hit hard and consistently and are getting tired of it.
