    MWP, yes there was some flawed thinking.

    Your advantage on the next round is the same regardless of how many people are at the table. Bet appropriately.

    While there's nothing wrong with playing at a full table, you may want to not do that in future. Why do you play? If it's for fun, full tables can be fun. It's fine to sit at them. If you play to make money, full tables are not where you should be. You will still make about the same per round, but your hourly win rate will suck. I play for both fun and money. I'll sit at a full table, but never on a 50% pen game.

    Oh hell, I don't even want middle management. Leave me out of management entirely. I don't want the headache. Some people look at me like I have three heads when I say I have no desire to climb the corporate ladder. I went to school to do the job I do. I am happy with what I've achieved and wish to maintain it. I consider myself successful.

    Not everyone has the same goals. Just because I have no desire to manage or work in a different field does not mean I didn't take my learning seriously. The attrition in college for my field is extremely high. I graduated on time and tied the top three in my class.

    Not the point I was trying to make. I’m sure you didn’t strive to graduate at the middle of your glass. In fact, you mentioned, and seemed proud of the fact that you were in the top 3.

    To achieve a position in the top 3 - I’m sure it required hard work and dedication - that’s the point I’m trying to make.

    If the game is 50% penetration than you can't beating with straight counting with play all situation. However, if the penetration is better. What I would do if you have a sense that the table is filling I would spread to two hands or even three hands if it is allowed. Because other players would eat up good cards and advantage hands.

    Some dealers might give a little better than 50%, but the house rule is 50%. On a typical visit out of maybe six rotating dealers among all the games, one dealer might be giving 60%, one maybe 55%, three right on at 50%, and one asshole in more ways than one 45%.

    I do like to play 2 hands with a full table, but if you want to play more than one hand you have to start off with 2 hands and double min bet. There is no mid shoe switching between one and two hands. If you drop a hand you can't go back to two hands until the new shuffle.

    It is just that your comments and posts have made you the sites stereotypical idiot. Writing Zee a reference saves many sentences of explanation how idiotic something is.
