    A program for training single deck?

    I'm looking for a program that is like cvbj but can be used for single deck composition dependant strategy.

    For example:

    You get 9,3 vs dealer 3 you select hit and it says correct

    You get 7,5 vs dealer 3 you select hit and it says INCORRECT

    betting and card counting doesnt matter, only need the composition plays.

    Does anyone know of such a program? Does it exist? Can cvbj be programmed to do this? If not, can anyone make this for me?
    May the Variance be with you.

    VB stands for visual basic.

    I don't want to step on anyone's toes who might be doing some freelance programming, but this is not a difficult task.

    blueman, you could probably do this yourself with almost no prior programming knowledge.

    This is what your probably looking for..It is composition dependent and/or total dependent..And it can be used in game made or computer mode..It also calculates your advantage before each hand..It has been priceless, as a resource tool for me..It does it all.

    This computes the *EXACT* expectation for each decision for each player hand state, both composition and total dependent.

    Also allows one to compute EOR's and can, if I am not mistaken, import data to Excel.

    Have fun!

    blueman,

    Yes, CVBJ can use composition-dependent strategies. Are you planning to use CD plays for the first two cards with TD strategy for three-or-more card hands, or do you wish to use CD plays for hands with 3, 4, or even more cards?

    When defining the strategy, click on Composition Dependent at the bottom. You can define up to 500 plays per table, but only two- or three-card hands.

    The Blackjack 7.6 software at the link below will do what you describe:
    https://sites.google.com/site/erfarmer/downloads

    You can create and/or edit a config file in casinos/*.txt to setup rules/decks; the "Practice" mode setting is by default set to what I think you want: composition-dependent strategy optimized for the full deck (but the exact expected values that are displayed are for that "full-shoe" strategy applied to the current depleted deck). You can also change this setting to "perfect" play, with composition-dependent strategy re-optimized prior to each round for the current depleted shoe.

    All of the source code is included; precompiled executables are provided for Windows, but it also works on Linux. I am the author, so please let me know if it does/doesn't work for you, or if you have any problems or questions.
