This is a great thread.

BTW... my take on card counting - I think it's a shame that casinos won't allow (much of) this, but I certainly don't blame them. They are in business to make money, and by allowing card counting... well, that would be bad business. It's great that there is a way for smart people to beat a game (until they are noticed), but I understand that casinos can bar anyone from playing anything for any reason. They are private establishments, and that is their right.

TP, you'll be in Vegas in a couple of weeks, right? Let us know how many automatic shuffling machines are in place -- I haven't played BJ in a while, but I seem to remember them being more and more common. If the dealers shuffle after every few hands, card counting is no more

well, card counting can still work, but advanced tactics like shuffle tracking will be completely gone. this has already been combatted with thin cuts of the shoe, but the shuffle machines definitely change the game for the better counters.

counting cards will still be effective, but with thinner cuts the count may not be quite as representative of what cards you should expect to see later on in te shoe.
