So I told them my policy was to play somewhere else and I do. Card counting’s role in mastering the deviations is that to use the deviations, you must know what the correct True Count is at all times. SrP Surrender if allowed, otherwise Split. Saying it was a time thing and against their policy. PH Split if double after Split is Allowed, otherwise Hit. I asked if they could wash the cards and hand shuffle but they wouldn’t do it. Others have the shuffling machine just below the table surface and transfer the cards manually into a shoe. lol I’m definitely up at the casinos and will see if the love keeps me going back…On a side note not all casinos are created equal, one place 90 mins north of Toronto pulls out preshuffed decks… very, very sketchy. I don’t know if moving the rotation works but I have gotten a few Black Jack’s. I’ve learned that this can be a grind but it gave me the confidence to hit a few casinos in my area… I know my seat position, time of day, tells and sometimes I’ll play two hands to move the rotation if someone else is getting all the cards. From that I’ve learned money management, watching for clusters and my basic strategy is 100%. Some of the rounds are really tough and that’s really good. Thank you so much for having this site and maintaining it.
