For all you locker room humor types you should love this movie. It got some poor reviews because it is said to offend everyone. I just thought it was all good fun but you know the politically correct group loves to be offended and offend those that they don't agree with. They even have a scene where she innocently has an incident at a Chabad for Freighter that gets called into the police as a hate crime. The police keep getting calls about the hot babe in the yellow dress for all kinds of things as she just tries to find her way to work after a drunken one night stand. It will have you in stitches.
    I'm in the generation you speak
    I know very few numbers by heart- my grandparents because both of their numbers are the same from when i was a kid, and a few friends who have had the same cell phone number for 15 or so years bc back then minutes were a lot more limited so during the day i would sometimes call them from my house phone

    everyone definitely learns differently
    it's weird for the indices on hitting 12 vs 2-6 i remember them in order 3 2 0 -2 -1 going across from 2-6
    but 16 vs 10 and vs 9 i remember going in the opposite direction from 10 to 9, probably because 10 comes up 5 times more often as the dealers up card, and because the count is around 0 a lot more often than it's around 5

    I also know the indices for splitting tens but have never used them
    I did see a guy split 10s last night and he ended up with 3 different hands vs a 6. the dealer busted and the other guy at the table went from irate do patting him on the back as his move "saved the table" but he clearly wasn't counting

    [QUOTE=21frogman;241585]Diogenes, it appears that your quest for an honest (& helpful) man on BJTF has paid off in spades. From what I've seen, most do.


    Yeah, and I didn't even have to break out my lantern, after all!

    I don't like to practice on a computer, so I don't use CVBJ. Is Casino Verite Drills the best phone-based software in the market to practice BJ on iPhone? I'd like to practice in the car on my way to casinos.

    I believe Norm(QFIT) also sells Blackjack Verite Games as described here

    I do, it works that way, but it can be time consuming.

    I agree with this training aid concept. Many I have trained found it much easier.
    Luck is nothing more than probability taken personally!

    I apologize for not being clear in my post

    where I spoke about SINGING the BJ indices.

    I sing line by line, as suggested by Three/Stealth.

    Sooo
    sooo ridiculously easy to recall at the table!

    Seemed obvious to me ~ from 1981 forward.

    I thought you did not start taking the game serious until 1992?

    Diogenes the Cynic is best remembered today for having lived in a storage-jar, and walking the streets with a lamp in daylight, looking for an honest man. Such stories formed part of a rich tradition of sayings and anecdotes; his biting wit and eccentric behaviour were legendary, and it was by means of these oft-repeated and embellished aphorisms that his moral teachings were transmitted. He scorned the conventions of civilized life, and his ascetic lifestyle and caustic opinions gave expression to the Cynic philosophy that in turn influenced Stoicism.
