After watching Holy Rollers I realized that Ben Crawford was the true leader of the team. Colin seemed more behind the scenes running the numbers and producing graphs for team meetings. This isn't to say Colin isn't a great BJ player. He clearly has the ability to market and teach. Simply an observation that he seemed more along for the ride while Ben made the big calls and ultimate team direction. Making it relatable to the thread for BJA - I am using his free training platforms in combination with CVCX and Verite BJ. This past week I have dedicated to mastering basic strategy with over 1,000 hands per day. Excel file shows that I range from 98 - 100% (more recently 100%) without a timer and currently working with a 5 second timer to get the heart rate going. The upcoming 3+ weeks will be solely spent on card counting. Current goal is to roll out my first casino visit in late October at very small stakes.

its good that you’re dedicating yourself to some type of regimen. I see no mention of basuc strategy deviation, I.e. index play.
get yourself a copy of Wong’s professional blavpckjack. Since you’re following BJA lessons you’re more than likely playing hi lo. The hi lo indexes in professional blackjack start at about 250 to so.
I too am learning and taking a very regimented approach to practice and counting before stepping inside a casino again. I have many questions and ideas and would like to introduce myself to Forum but do not want to high jack this thread. What is the best place to make an introduction? Thank you.

Thanks, my regiment is:
In order, master each step before moving on:
1) Basic Strategy (1 week)
2) Card Counting (Hi Lo) (3 weeks)
Test back counting in casino
3) Bet spread (modeled using CVCX) (completed)
4) Deviations (I-18) (1-2 weeks)
Play low stakes
Primarily using software to increase reps/verify game/expedite the process.
