    This costs very little and if you flat bet on a players card it might buy you a little more time. I have 1 S17 LS DAS DOA NRSA 1 draw 6 deck game close by where the facility is an utter, smokey, dump, but I sometimes like to go play there as described above and flat bet because when I use my ODPs and indexes it's still a winning game, but you won't make a lot of money at it when flat betting.

    Thoughts?

    Never done that either. It's not a winning game of course if you don't have the rules to support it. And I don't really see the point. You get your face around and you don't make the money. More downside than upside imo

    If you're already a solid counter, I really don't see the purpose of this. If you're new and starting out, then yeah sure -- it's a cheap way to practice in real life conditions without drawing any heat.
