So this past week, I played at a $25 table, and was up on the night about $800. Eventually I lost most of it back and finished the night with a reasonable $200 profit. Now, I understand that Blackjack IS GAMBLING, and trust me, I’ve lost just as much as I’ve won (probably lost more!) I consider myself a good player, and have been told so by strangers/dealers/etc. So only reply if you’re a serious player, not somebody who frowns on gambling/playing blackjack and would reply: stop playing blackjack and wasting money! Onto the strategy…
So I lost much of the money due to hitting a VERY cold table, everyone at the table lost 5-10 hands in a row, several times. At $25 a hand, not to mention doubles/splits, that’s rough. I was thinking…what if I played $25 Blackjack, but on a smaller limit table (say $5 or $10 table). This would still let me be aggressive on the winning streaks (since my betting sequence is “up as I win”, but not lose big on the losing streaks if I lowered down to the minimum bet…thoughts/suggestions??

the chart:

Is there an easy way to learn this or any tips on how to memorise tables in general?
Thanks

I’ve been using the strategy chart off of http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack/strategy/4deck.html and it has really brought my blackjack game up a lot since I first began playing not long ago. It’s a great chart and teaches a lot….I just wanted to know if some professional/really good blackjack players agreed with some areas of the chart here though.
I find that some of the double downs are aggressive and maybe a little too loose. When I have a 11 I usually don’t double down against a dealer 10/9……and when I have a ten I don’t like doubling against a dealer 9.
The aces double downs look good to me.
I don’t have a lot of knowledge about splits…are they ok here? I normally only split aces.
to legfu: lol that wasn’t really what I meant. I was just looking for some good players on here to give an argument that would prove my thoughts wrong basically.

I’m going to Las Vegas this weekend and wondering if I will get kicked of the casino if I print out this strategy sheet and look at it when I play:

If I can’t bring it, then I plan to memorize the table, but I don’t really have the time for that so I’d rather just print it out and bring it to Las Vegas.

So say I start with 1000 dollars. Bet 5 dollars a hand. When I lose, I double the bet, meaning that the loss is recouped. If you lose twice, double it again, betting 20. Keep doubling until you win, and you are back to even plus your original bet. Foolproof?
Because the chances of losing 6 or 7 hands in a row is so slim, there is little to no chance of losing.
Tell me what you think.

I can count cards and I was wondering where on the internet I can find a chart that accurately deviates (changes) from Basic Strategy based upon the count.
If you know where to find one, please give a link or tell me the website name.
I am using the Hi/Low method.

Everytime you loose you double the bet on the next hand until you win again. At the point you win, you have won back all your loses. You would need a big bank roll.
If you bet $10 a hand, the next would cost $20, then $40, $80, $160, $320.
Once you win you switch back to your regular betting of $10.

I am looking for some websites or papers which give a lot of mathematical detail behind playing in a blackjack tournament (Elimination Blackjack format or otherwise).
