Changed my mind

I was planning on going to Reno on the 15th of Dec but I decided that since I might not be able to rent a car (no cc) downtown vegas + a cab ride to the Wynn will be better that my usual Foxwoods or Mohegan trip where I play for 24 hours straight and start to lose count after maybe 20 hours+. At least in Vegas I'll keep my sessions short and get something to eat and go somewhere else. My question is how should I prepare for playing face down with other people there. I know it's better to play dd 1 on one but if there is 1 another person there than I should play because who knows if I'll ever find a one on one table + that could change at any time. I'll try to get the ploppies or counters to show me there cards but just in case I get some f-er I think I should be prepared. And the indices are the same for HI-lo right? And the bs is the same expect you double on 9 vs 2 @ 0?

Well, the Wynn and the Plaza are supposed to be the best anyway. A little bird told me that the pen was better at Wynn than what I last heard at the plaza but maybe it changed? I don't think that rules could beat pen but I'll be sure to spend most of my time at the above mentioned locations. I was going to stay at the Wynn but too expensive for me now. When my top bet is like $400 I'll stay there. Tha means I'll have to have $20k, oh my. And get CBJN so I can find out where they have pitch games at that level or low limit shoe with S17 where I can spread 10 - 2x200 and leave at the shuffle or when the count tanks. The thing that I hate about the east coast is that the only good game for me requires a br of at least 25k and you can't stay there in the high roller area all night even though I should have a pass because of my past gambling it doesn't mean they won't watch me. What kind of big bet can you get away with at the Plaza? Is it S17, DAS, LS, rsl aces? I will try to get a room at Vegas club, how do I know which game is the real dd? What is downtown like, is it dangerous? I read that Reno this time of year could be dangerous and that is another reason why I'm passing on it. How are the ladies in Vegas? Any classy girls on vacation maybe from Europe or just puntanas? Hopefully there will be a nice stewardess on the plane that can tuck me at her hotel.

p.s. Sorry if this is long but I have never been to Vegas or gotten lucky with a stewardess. Almost in NYC but when she called I was at my house and couldn't get back into the city. She was from New Zealand and very tan because she was on vacation. I told her i went to an Open House(I'm not in Real Estate I just lend the money for it) she said can I come over! Then she said j/k but she wanted to come over but my d/l was suspended so what was I supposed to do? Steal my own car and pick her up?

Information is a little delayed in face down games. Count in this order:

1. Count your hole cards.
2. Count dealer's up card.
3. Count players' hit cards
4. Count dealer's hole card, hit cards.
5. Count players' hole cards. Remember that these will always be the two cards closest to the dealer when the dealer arranges the cards for the camera.

Be sure to watch for players who bust and then throw their cards on the table in disgust. Sometimes the dealer will quickly scoop up the cards. You have to be quick and observant in these situations.

"And the indices are the same for HI-lo right?"

Same as what? Different count systems have different indices. Indicies vary depending on the number of decks.

"And the bs is the same expect you double on 9 vs 2 @ 0?"

Look at www.blackjackinfo.com for basic strategy for any normal BJ game. You input the number of decks, rules, etc...and you instantly get a bs chart.

So, you want to find some whores eh? They're all over Vegas. If you don't want to take a chance with legal problems that may arise then take a drive to Parhump and visit Sheri's. If you go to Reno/Lake Tahoe, visit the Moonlight Bunny Ranch. I realize that street hookers are cheaper, but are more chancy. If you go to Sheri's or MLBR it's more expensive but it's safe and legal.

Good luck and have fun!

I�m not sure about what kind of bets you can get away with. I�m sure a green spread should be fine even though they are pretty sharp there.

Their game does not allow surrender and I don�t think you can resplit aces. Still, those are some pretty good rules and the penetration is consistently good.

The Vegas Club has a �liberal 21� game that catches a few of the suckers, but the rest of the games should be fine. All the DD games at the Plaza are real.

> What is downtown like, is it dangerous?

No, Fremont street is very safe. Just watch out for pickpockets. If you stray too far from the Experience you may find a few �unfriendly� neighborhoods. I don�t think you�ll have any problems.
