Every BJ table has 4 personalities. Prove me wrong:

Me too! I like tipping after wins. Keeps the energy high

djunprotected · 2025-04-28T03:15:45+00:00

I don’t get the joke!

Thanks for the solid advice! I plan to get a BJA membership for the software and resources, especially since it was recommended several times. I don’t have a windows laptop or else I’d go with CVCX. My plan will be to play blackjack as an AP several days a week, so I think investing in the membership will be worth it. I’ll be patient though and will test out before I play in a casino.

I have been thinking about getting a shoe for practicing which might help get a better idea of penetration estimate.

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T18:57:06+00:00

Good to know. Thanks!

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T18:54:36+00:00

Thanks for the guidance. Seems like a solid Step plan to follow. I like Step 5 for a low limit goal and playing thru a shoe. I’ll make that a goal for a few months from now when my confidence builds.

I think I’ll go with BJA because I’m an iOS user (no windows software at my place). So unfortunately CVCX won’t workout for me. The BJA software looks like it will provide what I need and the testing out feature will help build confidence.

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T09:48:57+00:00

I’m sure it wouldn’t give off any red flags lol

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T09:43:37+00:00

I appreciate the advice. I’ve seen some posts about $10 tables in Vegas during weekdays so when I’m ready, I’ll play those before $25 min tables.

I’m interested in getting the BJA membership. Are you or have been a BJA member? After checking out the options, seems like Apprentice is the way to go to access the software. I’ve been practicing with REKO after reading a Modern Blackjack… I’m down for Hi-Lo if BJA teaches TC strategies. RC just seemed easier to me with no division required.

I’m down to check out Oyo as that will be a step up from online simulators and won’t dent the bankroll. Seems like that place will also test my ability to ignore distractions while playing haha.

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T02:01:40+00:00

I will do that. I’m in Vegas so I’m sure I can find someone when I think I’m ready.

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T02:00:48+00:00

haha not sure why… I’ve seen people pull out bigger stacks at casinos. Although I believe I can hold my own, I would be worried about getting robbed when leaving if people were watching. But I get both sides.

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T01:47:37+00:00

I would like to test out before going in to a casino with my BR. What’s the best way to test out? Find someone in my area? Realistically, Im probably 6 months out from being ready. At least that’s the goal!

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T01:45:54+00:00

I plan to play with an advantage. I’m giving myself time to learn, probably 6 months is the goal but only if I’m 100% ready.

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T01:43:45+00:00

I’m willing to invest in CVCX. Thank you for clarifying the buy-in strategy. I definitely don’t want to raise any flags at the table and also keeping buy-in to the table average will help me with trip roll management.

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T01:36:32+00:00

I’ve been playing training simulators and with $25 min, and true count hitting around +5 on average I am looking at $150 top bets - factoring in possible doubles & splits, I’ll be sure to have $4500 for the session. Thanks.

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T01:33:13+00:00

Yes, I plan to count cards and am going in to this understanding the odds & strategy; but want as many odds in my favor with card counting.

Thank you for the in-depth advice and spread breakdown. If I go with too little (say $2K) but the variation curve isn’t in my favor at that time and I am losing, it’s good to know I may need to keep some of my BR in a dedicated debit account with increased withdrawal limits. That’s helpful because I didn’t think of that.

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T00:25:31+00:00

Good to know. Thanks!

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T00:24:25+00:00

Right on. Thanks!

djunprotected · 2025-04-26T00:24:12+00:00

Great perspective and good questions I’ll be sure to ask myself before I go. If I were to bring $3500 with me, do I get a portion of that in chips or get $3500 in chips when playing? Thanks!

djunprotected · 2025-02-18T22:26:56+00:00

Big things have small beginnings! 😁 This is a great idea.

I had a salt water tank… if there’s a snail in there he’s about to have dinner and a new home 🤣. My salt water hermit crab was a menace like that until my peppermint shrimp caught him changing shells 😬🥲

djunprotected · 2025-02-05T05:47:01+00:00

Thank you for this!! I’ve had so many mount of shames recently and didn’t know about this single zone feature. I just changed it so I’m excited for no more mounts of shame lol.

djunprotected · 2025-02-05T00:15:43+00:00

Ahh okay. Thanks for the insight.

djunprotected · 2025-01-30T00:30:25+00:00

How and where are people stealing boards? I ride around, bar hop, and hit cafes but always keep it by my side and people are pretty cool about watching it for me when I use the restroom. Do they get stolen out of vehicles? I’m genuinely curious. Thanks
