Thoughts 6-8 shoe games or so slow
If you play for any stakes into the black/purple only playing DD will end your career very quick. Getting any action down in most markets on pitch especially is next to impossible. If you try to only play DD in Vegas for example you will be done pretty quick.
where i live ive got ten spots to play at they all offer more dd then shoe games the most is 5 tables with 6 deck, and its very hard to wong at all they will only hold you place 10 mins and just once an hour at best, ive been doing great on the dd tables with very little heat and very small cover, and great rules
On a pitch game where players "hide" their cards you just have to adjust your methodology a bit from what you're used to when counting face up shoe games.
The dealer MUST expose each hand for The Eye In The Sky as she tallies up win/loss and takes/pays bets.
You just have to adjust habit to do your counts at that point, rather than "sweeping" the table. It can take a minute or two to adjust yourself to the new mental "flow" when switching among shoe games to hand-held, but after you're in that mode it's pretty much the same pattern.
