been about 5 years since I've ventured out to play - used to take frequent trips to Reno playing small stakes and most of the time get a free vacation out of it. Since then it seems that the "advantage" conditions everywhere have gotten a lot worse. In Reno I would typically play single deck using the KO "preferred" system.
I Have recently had the itch to play again. I played a small bit around my local casinos here around Seattle. Entering in the numbers into "John Austins Blackjack Risk Manager" as well as a bit of research and I can usually figure out if the game is good and what my general expectations are, though don't have a great knowledge of how much penetration has an effect of advantage. Thought I might run this scenario by here...
A double deck game
$10 dollar min - $300 table max
my spread probably around 1-8
h17,ds,LL9 --
as low as 50% penetration --and haven't seen much past 60%
Do I have an advantage here?
how much does penetration effect this game?
should I just book a trip to Reno?
thanks - S
