    How to count for Barona's push 22

    Making a trip to Barona soon. I count using Wong Halves, do I need to adjust the values of the cards to play push 22?

    That's a rule worth -6.91% to the player. Don't play such a terrible game.

    Sounds like a 6:5 game with the "free bet".

    gub11,

    First, modify the Wong Halves tags by subtracting 3 from each tag (or 6, if you use "double Wong Halves" (DWH) to avoid the pesky fractional tags), so for example the Ace & X tag goes from -1 to -4 (or -2 to -8 for DWH), and the Five tag goes from +1.5 to -1.5 (or +3 to -3 for DWH). Then, using these modified tags, wait for a TC of +2 (or higher) to Wong in.

    Hope this helps!
