    Strategy for Colorado DD game

    As some of you know, at least on a couple of casinos, only 3 players can play at each table but each player has 3 spots reserved for them. The player can play 1-3 spots.

    last week, I was playing with one other Asian. We both started a shoe playing one spot but regardless of count, the other person played 3 spots following the initial round. It confused me as far as ramp and playing one hand or two or three. On TC<1 or below, I played one hand of $25 but on positive counts, it was confusing as to whether I should play a bigger bet on 1 spot or play 2 or 3 spots.

    Then, another Asian (there were often more Asians than white Americans) joined and he randomly would play 1-3 hands.

    While I came out ahead, after Noon, it’s difficult to find any table to play heads up and even with 1-2 other players, it seemed hard to know how many rounds would be dealt as every round could vary between 3 to 9 spots.

    In in any case I am likely never going to make a purely BJ trip to ZcO.

    So tell us about the sightseeing you did.

    P.S. There are other casinos in town.

    I don’t want to announce my plans but maybe when I write my trip report you would know that the old guy walking around with oxygen tank was Zee.

    Zee, sure hope it isn't so. I do hope you don't have to be on oxygen. I remember quite a few years ago I decided to try poker, and got to know the regular players. This one guy would always take a cig break whenever he got the chance. Then a few years later I ran into him again and he is hauling around an oxygen tank. It is hell to get old.

    No. I just screwed up my back and should be okay soon. My motivation for trips seem to be declining for now. Hope it’s just temporary. I plan but in the end opt to stay close to family as my son and daughter plus wife are at home.

    I think the problem is not getting old but smoking. We are all getting old but the question is how and how quickly.

    Well personally I would bet all 3X$100 when the TC was positive. And I wouldn't care what the other players were doing.

    Well, the thing is that I dont care to go from $25 to 3 x $100 at a TC+1 and would prefer another round (or more pen) but it becomes unpredictable. In non Colorado casinos, in general, the number of spots being played does not change much, especially in no mid shoe entry tables but in Colorado it does and that is a cvhallenge.
