    One simple Question

    OK,

    I have played a lot of Blackjack, Lost more then I care to admit and once in a while have I have had a good night.

    My question is simple

    Given the choice would you play at a table with a 6 deck hand shuffled shoe with a 100$ minimum bet and one other player at the table or would you take a table with an 8 deck hand shuffled shoe with a 25 $ minimum bet and a total of 4 players ?

    The answer is not so simple I think

    Assuming an adequate BR, seems to be a no brainer.

    The answer lies in your bankroll. Can you afford playing a high-limit table as a black chipper?

    Just like this forum to overlook the facts.

    OP: do you count cards?

    If you were a counter with an adequate bankroll, then it isn't possible that you would ask such a question. So, either the $100 game is too rich for your blood, or you aren't counting. If the latter, then clearly, you will lose your money almost seven times as fast at the $100 table than at the $25, so if you MUST play, that also is a no-brainer. Better still, don't play at all!

    The 200$ a hand table is not too rich for me at all ( on special event nights and crowded weekends sometimes those are the only available bets in the high stakes room ) and my average buy in is 5K

    I do not count cards but I do pay attention.

    Thats not what my question is based on, many here have the math to back up their theories, some of what I read leads me to believe that we do not have it right - ok before you start I know its not an exact science. But after sitting at a 100- 200$ per hand table and watch the dealer draw to 7 - yes count them 7 - black jacks in a row - I tend question everything - And this has happened on more than one occasion 7 in a row was the most I have seen.

    The high stakes tables, for the most part, draw a different player - I suppose you could call them more skilled. The 1-25$ a hand tables seem to draw a different crowd ( don't get me wrong I like that crowd also ) But the 3-6 player low stakes 8 deck electronic shuffle tables can get to be a mess - but does that mess contribute to my wins or wreck them?

    When a crowded low stakes table gets on a roll the energy seems to work against the house, its hard to get the energy up at a high stakes table with only 1 other player. Also on the lower stakes tables people,le seem to "jump in " for one or two hands.

    Just some thoughts.

    Just some thoughts.

    1.) If you don't count cards, you won't get "wins".
    2.) What do you mean with "electronic shuffle" tables - ASM or CSM?
    3.) There is no energy rolling or karma at the tables.
    4.) BJ is an exact science. It's pure mathematics.

    Seems to belong to the Disadvantage Forum.

    Yes, it is an exact science. It's called math.

    But still playing a losing game

    Is this energy in quanta?

    Go back to post #6. That sums in up in a nutshell. You're on the wrong forum to espouse voodoo theories.

    Don - I knew it as soon as I saw the $ after the number (from someone who appeared to be North American).
