I was thinking he will lost net 20 hands in 30 minutes or less. Guess what, after three hours, his session bankroll stayed the same. There is another good Basic Strategy player who has lost $1,000 finally asked if this is his lucky day. The guy said he always plays this way for the past two years or so. He is either even or win a little. This discovery really hits me hard. Everybody at the table lost more than 60% of our hands while this guy is even at his ridiculous simple/bad? strategy. Is this the end of AP? Did someone find a simple exploit against beast mode ASM? The casino did send a lot of people to watch this guy play. He can talk to them while playing since his strategy is so simple and he is flat betting.

    "Never bust: For my analysis of this strategy I assumed the player would never hit a hard 12 or more. All other decisions were according to correct basic strategy. This "never bust" strategy results in a house edge of 3.91%."

Also be alert if most of your good doubles fail, not only you but all other players, say after two hours. For example, you saw clump of five and six with accent card two, you and your tablemates double eleven against dealer upcard five, and all of you got two, five or six. Then dealer easily made his hand. It did not happen just once or twice but all night long. I can't say I will never see this happen in hand shuffled game, but it is super rare. While ASM can easily accomplish it using the sequence and I have seen it regularly. Back to the example, a ploppy who was never taught not to split fives just split the fives, then play like the dealer, hit until making a hand. Then we saw the ploppiy wins due to small card clump.
    Yeah, sorry man; it sounds like a typical day at the office combined with a selective memory. Certainly far more likely than the rampant cheating you allege, especially given the lack of hard data.

    If we admit to the statistical non-significance of massive multi-session losing streaks for players playing at an advantage, the fact that players playing badly could be winning after two hours should not only be shrugged off, but expected to be seen on a regular basis.

    I'm just not seeing cheating or a beast mode shuffle in the stuff you're describing. Get hard data, lots of it, and a description of the deck compositions that you observe that would put counters (but not others, apparently, in the decks you talk about) and there might be something to work with. But this is just a description of "what often happens at a normal blackjack table". :-/
