    And his "area of domicile" (you shouldnt try so hard - its as revealing as it is unbecoming) should inform the type of advice given. Everyone keeps telling him to play a different game like that never occurred to him..,what if there is no other game? People tell him he cant wong at 100 min..what if the asians running the game have never even seen a card counter and dont give a fuck what he does?
    And besides hes not looking for advice so much as encouragement, you might get that if you werent so busy feeling (undeservedly) superior and talking about your useless scrotum

    The E/SE Asia region has Pontoon available. A good BJ game in this region nowadays is like a unicorn.

    Consider the switch (and the appropriate re-education) if BJ options are slim and/or terrible.

    Thank you. Finally someone who understands my situation - yes, there are only two legit casinos here that have comparably somewhat 'okay' blackjack rules (I mentioned them as Casino A and Casino B; all other casinos use only CSM). I am not given luxury to choose or pick casinos that have better BJ rules (and I cannot travel via plane just to play blackjack as well).

    It seems many of you think I'm thick-headed. Yeah, but as I wrote above many casinos here don't care (or are not aware of) counters here (zero heat). And my max bet spread is only like $200 max, so they don't really give f, when more than 80% of foreign players (Chinese and Japanese) basically trash away their thousands of dollars worth in an hour or two.

    They probably don't give an f because the game is not playable. You try and you will most likely lose. Sometimes not playing is the AP move. You should know your abilities and limitations. If you lack the decline required to execute the winning game plan you shouldn't be playing.

    Does anyone even read his posts? He says he already made 6500...

    He obviously doesnt want to quit so give him better advice...maybe shuffle track or hole card.
    Or if those are unavailable maybe parlay your experience into an investor pitch..that way you can sufficiently arm yourself against that 100 min. Or at least turn it into getting a teammate who can maybe soften the harsh waves of variance

    I thought he said he was $5K ahead after losing $1500. maybe you should read his posts. He described success at defying the odds and making small wins but was phased when normal lose wiped out so much of his winnings. He is obviously underfunded and playing to a RoR so high that going bust is almost a certainty if he continues with what he is doing.

    Someone sooner or later, will support you. English Pig Dog approaches you on his white steed. Unfortunately, he's an idiot. I don't normally say this to newbies, but you're short a brick upstairs. You have discarded real good advice until someone, like the Pig Dog, will support your silly agenda. Good luck.

    I've decided to wash my hands of these 2. You can save yourself some grief by doing likewise.
