    ZenMaster_Flash, he must be ready for HiOpp2 ASC. Sorry Flipper I am not intending any pun directed at you only at ZMF. You will never stand with a nine.

    I have been focused on the counts and not the play - so am I doubling at that point? I assume ... As I said I look now it's staring me in the face -- of 63 BIB. - The explanation makes it sound as if you are standing at these points

    No offense taken BOSox - I know it's as stupid a questioN as can possibly be - that's sort of the reason I started this thread - without a playmate in person to bounce things off of, what may be a misprint makes for really bad plays/questions. Again , I take no offense, as I know within a year I will learn: 1) I don't have the talent for this and be out completely, or 2) be competent enough to match Most anyone's game - minus those on this forum of course

    You fail to understand the value of male adjustment in furtherance of Blackjack excellence. Think Balls. Think FBM ASC - for feel good play.

    Wow - what idiotic questions referencing standing on 9v2 - I just didn't see it until I actually wrote it down and it was only then that I saw it. Boy is my face red. Sorry for wasting their kind enough to respond and as always thank you.

This seemed like a good spot. I will delete. Anyway, your suggestion was spot on with the 3-card 16 vs 10. Increase shows. Thanks.

    Now, in review of CV Data, this is no significant difference on standing 14,15,16 vs 7,8,9 at high TC. Pretty much looks like crap-shoot. However, it is a productive move to stand on 14v10 at the specified TC. So my thought is to play the 14 vs 10 as CV Data indicates. But to hit the others on the last hand of the deck and stand at the specified TC if more hands are to be played. Are there any special circumtances on standing on a 3 card 14,15,16 vs 7,8,9 at high TC?

    Also, in a SDSU game. I stand on 16vs10 on the first hand. 32 cards will break the hand. Only 16 will improve it to 18plus. The 4 Aces will get to 17 but also a strong possibilty to start the next hand. Just wanted to get your opinions as there is no one to talk to about single deck.

    Given the choice, would you rather have a 17 from 16v10 or an Ace to start your next hand?
    Normally, I'd be delighted to answer this relatively simple question. However, I note the huge addition of unhelpful comments to my tally. Clearly, my opinions are not wanted or desired. So, if I will err, I will do so on the side of caution, and decline to answer.

    Sorry Moses I am not the right person to be asking questions regarding single deck games.

    Oh dear boy. Is poor little Eddie Haskell's feelings hurt? Surely you must be aware that you will never be as popular in school as Wally "ZMF" or Lumpy "Three" but Mrs, Cleaver thinks you are so polite.

    You will never, with any system, stand with a 9 vs 2. Basic strategy 9 doubles 3-6, otherwise you hit. Usually the index for 9v2 is when to double, like you will double at TC 2 or TC 3. Maybe the index for Red 7 is to double at -4 and up, otherwise hit?

    You can't break hitting a 9, you can only improve it. You're always going to take card. The only question is are you going to hit or double?

    No, 29 cards will break the hand. The three others are already on the table!

    Yeah, I was going to do that. Just making a point though, in case anyone is wondering. Be later though, just got up because the phone rang - I'm going back to bed.

    Last post for this - yes I am an idiot...That is without question. I simply assumes by Snyders example explanation that all his deviations for this system were for standing - I couldn't get passed that....And if you are basing your thoughts on incorrect assumptions as I was - well, that led to an asinine queetion. I suspect that few here bother with that count and thus have no ide of the text in was looking at - I promise not to waste others time in the future - but do know that any comments are most appreciated - and believe it or not - I do feel a slight level of proficiency at the moment - though not enough oil put real money I'd the felt.
