    You're not interpreting the index correctly. When you see zero for 12 v. 4, it means STAND if the TC>=0. If you must express it as when to hit, then it's hit if TC<0.

    The reason Deck pen is so Important on a no surrender game, is that surrender, properly executed, adds about 1/3 to win rate, so, with no surrender, you need additional deck pen to provide the higher frequency of max bets needed to subsidize the cost of no surrender.

    It's a hand most players use the RC for. Hit on any negative RC else stand.

    No doubt you’re up up 2 quarts, which equates to ‘you’re full of shit”.

    Black Belt in Blackjack - the section starting on page 147. Don’t argue with me - argue with Arnold Snyder. The issue is “replenishable bankroll”.

    Oh, and Sparky Sharky - review page 148 - the paragraph that starts with “if you’re working g a job that pays $40000 a year....”.

    I’ll take your apology now.

    Your timing has been impeccable on several occasions. The Goodfellas GIF is excellent.

    I'll check it out when I return home...surely...based on your history...OBVIOUSLY, you are missing something...likely 'risk'

    I want to see where Snyder says to walk into a casino with $8k...replenishable by +$500/month, spread $10-80, and where he says after losing $500, quit for a month

    Learn to read. It’s a valuable skill. Then, learn to comprehend what you’ve read. That’s even more valuable.

    You do not have an 8k bankroll. You do not take 8k to the casino. You have a 2K bankroll. You can then wager as if you have an 8k bankroll, provided you have an unencumbered $500 per month that can be directed towards bankroll. Should you lose $500, even on day 1 of the month, that’s it for the month.

    Your problem is that you’re so intent on busting my chops, that you seize the opportunity to throw shit in the wall without thinking it through.

    Want to argue - argue with Snyder. I’ve already quoted book and page number.
