Back in the 80's when most games in Las Vegas were single deck or DD, there were BJ players who were concerned with the advent of 4 deck games and saying they would quit BJ if there were no SD games to play. Then came to 6 deck games and then the 8 deck games and then the ASM and the CSM and the 6-5 BJ's and BJ variants and NMSE and technology ....and where good games were abundant, we now have to go seeking for playable games that come and go, we hunt for dealers that provide a bit more penetration...some spend more time "scouting" than playing. At what point would you give it up?
many of the great AP's (not the ones in denial) have gone to book writing, teaching, finance industry and other careers....
Would you play if all games were 6/5? Would you play if all games were CSM? Would you play if all games had 50% pen? Would you play if all games were 8 decks or 10 decks? I suppose the math would say that you could win but the techniques would have to be different, perhaps only teamed playmight succeed.
Just a rant...
