Tip/Choppy Table
Every Craps Player hates a
choppy table. A choppy table is one where the shooters are
establishing a point and then sevening out within a couple of
rolls. It makes it almost impossible for a pass line player to stay
in the game. I have two suggestions for you. #1 Pick up your chips
and walk away. #2 Place 10 dollars on the Don't Pass Line. After a
point is made- lets say 5. Place 6 dollars on both the 6 & 8. To be
cautious take one hit on the 6 or 8 or two rolls which ever comes
first. If you get a hit within the two rolls take your profit of $7
and take your place bets down. Now you'll be up 7 dollars and
waiting for a 7 to be thrown which puts you in a 6 to 4 advantage.
If a 7 is thrown you will have won 7 + 10 =17. If the shooter hits
the point 5 then you will win 7 and lose 10 for a -$3. If your 6 & 8
don't hit (you will have taken them down) again you are now in an
advantage position (6 to 4) to win your $10 don't pass bet. If you
want to be a little more aggressive, you can try two hits on the 6 &
8 or three rolls which ever comes first before you take your place
bets down. This is a basic hedge play to combat the sinister choppy
table.
Blackjack Tip - Aces Friend or Foe?
I was in Vegas a month ago at the Mirage playing blackjack. The
gentleman next to me was dealt an A-2 versus the dealer 8. He asked
for a hit which is the correct play versus the dealer 8. He was
dealt another Ace. Now he has Ace-2 -Ace which is 4 or 14. He took
another hit which is correct. The card was 6. He now has Ace-2-Ace-6
which adds to 10 or 20? He should have stood on the 20 but didn't.
He hit the 10 which is the wrong decision. He ended up losing the
hand by busting. He made a fundamental error under the pressures of live play
with a table full of players.
Aces can be your friend or they can be your enemy. An Ace in
Blackjack can count as eleven or one. There are two lessons to learn
here.
#1 When dealt two Aces they can count as 1+1=2,
1+11=12, 11+1=12. Be sure to pick the best hand to play.
#2 Becoming an excellent Blackjack player goes beyond learning
basic strategy. You must practice your basic strategy along with hand counting so fundamental mistakes like this
don't happen to you. I cannot emphasize this point enough.

I was playing in Las Vegas about two months ago
and I feel it is appropriate to share this experience. The
gentleman next to me was playing $30 per hand with a $200
bankroll. The cards were dealt and he was dealt 4,4 vs the
dealers 6. The correct play is to split which he did. He
now had $60 out on the table. His second card/first hand
was another 4 which he split again. He now had $90 on the
table. His second card/first hand was a 5. He now had to
double down on that which which moved his total wagers to
$120. He was dealt an additional 10 on the first hand and a
9 on the second hand. He stood on both which is correct. The
second card on his third hand was another 4 which he had to
split and pony in another $30. He now had $150 on the table
among three hands due to splitting and doubling down. To
make a long story short, the dealer ended with a 6,9,5 for a
total of 20. Although the player was in an advantage
position, he ended up losing all of his hands. The lesson to
learn is this:
1. Be conservative with your wager
amounts. Splitting and Doubling hands can destroy you if
you don't have the bankroll to support it. A good rule of
thumb is to keep your initial bet at 5% of your bankroll
amount.
