Here's all you need to know... CVBJ doesn't even have an option for less than 1/2 deck for EV calculation because it isn't supposed to exist. I was trying to offer some great intel on a game that is WRONG in all of the casino conditions newsletters, but apparently you guys like to focus on the 86? We're card counters, that shit is going to happen.
So let me explain since I don't want people creating a false assumption of who I am. I am a graduate student with minimal playing time and do this part time since frankly it pays better than any part-time job I could have. So because of being backed off at my local spots, I'm forced to travel on free weekends to play. So, because the other casinos in the area don't have nearly the same game, there is no point in me bouncing around for worse playing conditions. Honestly, that sounds like something a complete dumbass would do, but what do I know. So since I'm playing 1 place for the day, I come up with 2 rules to try and stay under the radar. 1. Only play 1 session per shift 2. Once I expose my top bet, that's the last shoe of that session as to maintain longevity whether I win or lose. As for the greedy remark, I can't help that I had positive variance, and a lot of it. For instance, I made 136 units in 2 shoes and called it quits until the shift change. Holy shit am I greedy! Playing a whopping half hour and leaving because I took some of their money. Curse me for being such a greedy asshole.
I made this post only to help people earn some great EV, not be criticized for variance I was incapable of controlling. What the hell is wrong with the counting community where a guy tries to do something nice for strangers, to fatten up their wallets a little, and you feel the need to criticize the 86? I know you've been around the block, and have a lot of great wisdom and insight, but know your damn facts before you assume I'm being greedy. I played a whole 3 hours this weekend because of how things went. Man, I'm a terrible, greedy person.
