Which of these are better for the card counter? 2d 50% penetration -.26 EV with BS (s17, das, no resplit of aces) 6d 75% penetration -.28 EV with BS (s17,...
Would someone please differentiate between early surrender and late surrender? I had always thought early surrender was before you took a card, and late...
I am one of the ones using Renzey's advice to get me started. My question about the rule of 45 is: Renzey seems to say that a 16 with a 4 or 5 in it should...
... Early surrender is when you can surrender before the dealer checks for a blackjack. That way you only lose half of your bet if they do. You don't see that...
looking over the illustrious 18 chart in Schlesinger's Blackjack Attack it appears that it is recomended to stand on 16v10 at index # 0 and to hit 12v4 at...
i don't think Mr. Renzey is contradicting himself when he recommends standing on 16v10 if it satisfies the rule of 45 and then further recommending to hit such...
... The trick is that Basic Strategy takes into consideration the cards that are in your hand. For example, you are dealt 10,6 vs. 10. BS tells you to hit....

6d 75% penetration -.28 EV with BS (s17, das. resplit aces, late surrender) i'd go with this one i believe. better penetration being the reason. and 6d 80%...

Yes, that's the idea. You're supposed to hit if the TRUE count is 0 or less. If the RC is +1, then, that means that the TC is at least very slightly above 0...
