Hey forum I was wondering if any established advantage blackjack player could give me some advice/answers
on when to deviate from basic strategy. I have taken time to work on these situations myself but if a pro can correct my answers I would be so greatful. I really hope I'm asking to much ovi answer at your own will.
All below pretaining to a single deck:
At what true count should 16 stand vs 10 / my answer any running + count
At what TC should 12 stand vs 12. / TC +5
Any pro advice would be appreciated

Pretty much this =P. Deviations are set number indexes in true count... You can get them pretty much anywhere online, but I would recommend Wongs book as he has a lot more than just the I18. The I18 is a great place to start, but after you've established yourself with a solid winning game anyone taking the game seriously should consider learning more than just those indexes, which should be available online and I know for a fact are in Wongs book.Quote: IbeatyouracesLook up "illustrious 18/fab 4"
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

There is no running count in single deck
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

If you're using Hi/Low, sure there is. The running count might be +5, but if there's half a deck left the TC is +10.Quote: billryanThere is no running count in single deck

Yes, when you have less than one deck less there is a TC different than the RC, but here the absolute value would be increased rather than decreased with the conversion.
