> It depends on how fast you play, and whether you're required to bet twice table minimum to play two hands. It also depends on whether there's someone standing next to you eager to grab your second spot. Thanks for responding ETF. Let me try and provide the additional information you requested and perhaps you can help me (and other like minded players) figure out the best course of action. * I can play fairly fast...nearly 150% faster than the average ploppy...not really sure what my speed has to do with it though. * I do NOT have to bet twice the table minimum to play 2 hands. * Other players are eager to take the second spot. > These things can be worked out very precisely. You just need the covariance between hands at a table (about 0.5 for two hands), number of players at the table, speed of all players (counters usually assume they play faster than other players, and can play two hands in less than twice the time for one hand), and bet spread -- including required minimums. * Like I stated before, 3 other players at the table beside me. * The speed of the other players is the speed of the avg ploppy. Assume 50 rounds/Hr. * Spreading from 1 to 20 (on one hand or both hands). * Table minimum is $10/Hand. > But it's always better to play two hands in positive counts with others at the table, unless the edge is so tiny you can't afford the house minimumX2. You want to eat more cards in positive counts when others are competing for those same high cards. > And if you play two hands pretty fast, and you're concernd about time under the eye, then it's better to play two hands in negative counts, unless you have to pay 2Xmin on each hand. But this is a much closer decision. So your saying the best option for these conditions is to ALWAYS play 2 hands in both positive and negative counts. This way I am assured two spots for the high counts. BTW, can PowerSim be used to figure out the optimal bets for switching back and forth between 1 hand in neg and neutral counts and 2 hands in positive counts? MJ |
