Kat, you know religious posts are verboten here.
NT do you just only play S17 games because you have the choice? I know higher limit usually has better games and S17. But would you play H17 if it had other good conditions like surrender or 1 deck or less pen?
Also i thought i read somewhere that S17 has big negative impact on a basic strategy player but not so much on a card counter. I could be making that up im not sure.
I'm fortunate to have shoe games with great penetration that are also S17 so I'm not forced to choose. I agree with you though that folks playing lower limits where H17 is prevalent are better off looking for great pen. Once you hit black you are usually fortunate enough to not worry about H17 being a factor.
Your point is absolutely true, NT and I are just the wrong audience. I'd be looking for 6 deck games if at all possible with similarly attractive pen. 8 deckers make me want to bang my head on a wall. I'd pay $100 an hour to force NT to play 8 deckers for a full day. I am sensing a prop bet in our future...
I dunno... I kind of like 8 decks with a half a deck cut off. obvisously, I prefer six decks but when trying to get hours in at chunky black ill definitely spread some action around to 8 deckers with good pen and a 1-20 spread. I just try to be flexible to do what I have to do to get the hours in
