So you have decided to play at the World Series of Poker this year.  Great!  Good luck to you.  Now the next decision you make will be equally as important.  What event will you play?  Each year, people decide to travel out to Vegas to play in the World Series of Poker and get a [...]

Ideally when you go into a casino you want 100% depth in the shoe.  Obviously that maximizes your advantage over the house when you count; this is especially true when you are using sidecounts.
But that’s not reality.  At best - at absolute best your depth will be 85% into the shoe.  Most likely you’ll end [...]

Casino owners are realizing that they have a whole new breed of customers waiting to empty their pockets at the tables. They have put up campaigns and give out free meals and other incentives to get Asians to the gambling tables.
