Hi all,

I may be in the West for a few weeks, and I've only ever played 6 or 8 deck shoes during my time counting. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how pitch games even work (from what I understand, your cards are dealt face down, so how do you signal when you bust or get a BJ?). I typically use Wong Halves or Hi Lo, and from what I understand, neither of these are optimal for single or double deck games. I may end up just playing shoes if I have the opportunity, but I think this would be good experience for me to at least get a feel for lower deck games. Any advice, from what exactly to expect in the differences between shoe games and pitch games to just how much of a disadvantage I would be using one of my standard counts vs. a more optimal count, would be greatly appreciated.
