    Moses,

    You don't play anything except Reno single deck with a 1-3 spread. I'm still trying to figure out why you're even on this thread to begin with? Better start deleting again. You know you don't have to "contribute" to EVERY SINGLE thread on this board, right? When something doesn't apply to you, it's ok stay quiet. But I know that’s hard for you.

    Tell you what, Moses. If I ever have any questions about low stakes Reno single deck, then you'll be the first person I contact. Until then, you'll be on my "ignore list."

    And you're right... I don't know much about you. But what I do know is that you've deleted 3x more posts than I've made collectively between BJTF, BJinfo, BJ21 and BJA since I've joined the forums. And you've been on the forums for what? Maybe 1.5 years longer than I have? Most of your posts, from what I've seen, are complete and utter nonsense.

    Cya Moses

    As I recall, the Trop only has a couple tables with 6-deck, 3:2, H17 and the minimum bet was $15. Most of the other tables were 6:5. The only $10, 3:2 games on the strip are offered at pretty bad sweatshops (TI, Luxor Excalibur, etc.) that are hyper sensitive to card counters regardless of stakes. I suggest you travel off strip. Should be plenty of $5 and $10 minimum tables on Boulder Parkway (15 - 20 minutes east).

    The code is that only a few resident pros can do as they please but those out of that circle are jumped on the minute they post. Its quite funny at times. I mean, they know everything there is to know about BJ but they read this forum everyday and most of the posts they make are either belittling each other or me. Sometimes they become buddies and then they start posting about basketball exploits, sports knowledge, shooting prowess or ball scratching.

    I am a recreational player. I spread $10-75 locally without any heat. The games around me are 6 deck, 3-2, H17, doa, das, and pen is usually about 5/6 although occasionally it is 5.5/6. I do not play any cover except I do not split 10s.
    I will have my evenings open and would like to play while I am there, but reading through the threads has me worried that I will get backed off even playing at my low stakes. I was thinking that if the chances of getting backed off at my stakes are still high on 6d that I would just play 2d games and short sessions. Are there any specific places I should avoid if I am employing this strategy?

    Also, I have enjoyed reading this forum for quite awhile and just wanted to say thanks for all the solid content.
    At your stakes you will not find many playable games on the strip. If you don't already, consider getting CBJN which will point you to places off strip you can play. With your spread I wouldn't worry about getting backed off anywhere, except maybe the sweaty Spaniard.

    As others have stated you are more likely to get backed off playing double deck than 6 deck. Also you will not find any double deck games under $25 and the good games start at 50 to 100.

    Don't get me wrong, I love Las Vegas. But I don't love it for the blackjack. If you are able to get off strip you will find many more playable games.

    I just spent a week in Vegas spreading 1-4 on the Sweaty Spaniard's DD game, and 1-3 in their SD game - in green. Lasted 3 days (approx 3-4 hours per session) before being flat bet. Good cover and an even better act were key.

    To those who make and delete posts:
    All I got to say is why make a post in the first place if you are going to delete it. I can see the occasional time one makes a post and then decides to edit or delete it, but to make hundreds of posts and then delete them is truly a waste of time. It just blows my mind. Damn, don't make the post in the first place if it isn't good enough to stand up on its own.

    My problem is they are too good. They reveal too much but I tried to get away with it by making posts long enough that the casino lurkers wouldn't waste their time reading them. I also try to make them vague enough that you have to know a little to understand them. I have decided it just isn't worth making great posts. I just get people saying I am trying to be superior and expose too much good stuff to the wrong eyes, assuming they are smart enough to follow the bread crumbs to the destination after sifting through the long posts. I don't need the length if I am posting basic stuff.

    Agreed. I think it's more of a measure to dodge potential reprimand over what they post. It's basically a way to sidestep the forum's guidelines.

    If you haven't got anything constructive to say then don't post. If it's particularly sensitive material then PM it. It's not sport science..

    This is Off Topic. There are many viable reasons to your question. Why don't you start up a thread?
    All I was saying in this articular thread that I'd be wary about taking advice on Las Vegas who resides in Missouri and accordingly to his posts makes to Vegas 2 or 3 times a year and has only been playing for 3 years. Ample evidence of a fraud and a phony lies within his 800 posts of human munipulation.

    T3. I posted an innocent article because I thought Don S, you, Freighter and a few others might enjoy. Then Zee gets all pissy about it. So fuck it. I deleted the post. Many, many more examples. The Off Topic thread got another thread mixed in. So I deleted all my posts. I noticed you deleted most of yours so now MPs topic makes no sense whatsover. The people most concerned about how Norm does his job? Didn't say shit. Ryemo typically comes in after 100 posts to bitch about the number of posts. So I delete and he bitches about that! He's like a weiner dog on the front porch yipping at a St Bernard. Chomp Chomp and it's goodbye Weiner. In this case whiner.

    I spent three fantastic days in Vegas last year in August. As I went on for a very long stroll -my friends got tired- so i had plenty of time to discover the Strip Casinos. Yes, It was a quite long walk but i bumped into many playable games at that time. One of them was at the Tropicana's.
    TWO or THREE tables with the same rules BIGDADDY mentioned above.
    It was around 1 am and the tables were full. I was standing there for more than 30 minutes just to get a free seat. Eventually i had to move on -even though i consider myself a very persistent person- because I started to feel very tired.
    I walked back to Excalibur's where I found a stunning mandarino lady dealing from an 8-deckers with half a deck cut off. Yes , half deck!! I made a decent SCORE.

    Good luck
    and
    All the best
