    The games in AC and the northeast in general are definitely playable through the back counting approach. At minimum you must Wong out of negative counts. You’re going to need a big bank and a big spread.

    Whoops phone deleted.

    Found a game a bit back, not welcomed anymore. But I went from $25 to 2-3x $500 for far enough sessions.

    Finding games like these is like finding free money. Who would share this on a forum or anyone else for that matter?

    Blackjack is fine. You just haven't found enough games.

    Yes, high variance .Do not play with out surrender and less than 2 decks cut off.
    Luck is nothing more than probability taken personally!

    There are shoe games in New England dealt by lazy, burnt out, underpaid dealers who hate their life and hate their job and sneak in 90%+ penn. I played a game with a guy who I legitimately felt bad for, who was cutting off just a single hand (barely, at points I didn't think there was enough behind the cut-card to deal a full hand to a full table. We were playing heads-up and he saw me watching the cut and said, "I f*cking hate shuffling."
    I wouldn't make some of these stores a destination, but for us who live in the Northeast the RI & CT rules are decent and good penn can be found, so without getting on a planed it's good enough.

    The three casinos that you mentioned are paranoid about counters in their high limit rooms. There have been some ridiculous backoffs lately. Foxwoods has recently extended that paranoia to the main floors. Think twice about the 1-20 spread, or more, that has been gotten away with for so long. Here are the current main floor conditions for all three.

    Foxwoods - 8 deck, 3:2, H17, late surrender, good cut, some ASMs. Minimums are $10 - $15.

    Mohegan Sun - 8 deck, 3:2, H17, late surrender, good cut somewhat dealer dependent, $15 minimums, hand shuffled. Both casinos have a good amount of 6:5.

    Twin River - 8 deck, 3:2, late surrender, okay cut, $15 minimums. No 6:5 here and one small pit of H17 that I've never seen open during the day. Very smokey place.

    People were happy when Hard Rock opened and offered surrender. Less than a year later it's gone. Sad.

    Is that your first-hand observations?
    I think there may be some counter-intelligence occurring in some reports.

    No that’s what the sims say. If you can’t get at least 75% pen on a H17 8D it’s a waste of time

    no surprisingly they're stupid for getting rid of it.
    i saw so many people not surrender when they should, and people surrender when they shouldn't.

    Yes, I only give first hand observations. Do you have a specific question or different observations?
