u can count 5 decks idiot July 29, 2006
to the idiot below who said u cant count 5 decks in black jack, its easy dummy, had u ever read a BJ book on counting ud know, you just divide the running count by 5. pretty simple, if the decks positive 50, that is, 50 cards 10 or above in the shoe, the real count is 10. now go back to cartoons jr, i hear momma calling, she just left my bedroom with a mouth full of cum lol

Youre A Donkey Bloch, Heres Why A-hole July 28, 2006
First Of All This Guy Bashes The Dealers, Yells At Floormen, He Is A Disgrace And Insult To The Game.
Then He Does This, Raises My Blind On The Button, I Call With 9 -10 Suited, He Looks Weak To Me, And Im Always Right. The Flop Is 10c 8c 2d, I Lead Out And Bet, The Donkey Bloch, The Only Guy In The Pot Besides Me, Reraises All In. I Think About, And I Decide He Has A 8 Of Clubs, The Pair With The Draw, So I Call, Well To My Amazement, The Great Pro That He Is Has No Pair, Just A C 5 C For A Flush Draw. Well The Moron Hits His Ace On The River To Knock Me Down To 2 Chips Left, Then Chastises Me For Calling, Saying He Could Have Had 10 J. I Said, I Knew What You Had, And You Were Even Worse Than That. How Ridiculous, Going In On A Draw For All His Chips. Fucking Donkey. I Hate This Guy And Hope To See Him At The Tables Again So He Can Do Some More Donkey Moves And Double Me Up. It Was So Great To See Chip Reese Totally Spank This Donkey Like The Ametuer He Is At The Final Table Of The 50000 Horse Event, He Got Owned By Reese, Totally Owned

Counting cards is not what its seems, Yes many people can count cards into a six deck shoe. You can't predict what card will come out, but you can use a simple +1 -1 system and keep track of the ratio of small cards to face cards. When the count gets high (high card rich) you increase your bet to account for the percentage in your favor of getting two high cards. Many people count cards and make a living as professional black jack players. There are plenty of books out there that can show you the simple system. The hard part is keeping track of the count and not being obvious when varying bet size. Ever heard of the MIT Black Jack team that took casinos for millions? Read Bringing Down the House (won't teach you the system, but lets you know how a team works- and is an excellent read)
Ever heard of Ken Uston? read up on him or Kevin Blackwood's book "black jack like the pros" and he will teach you how to count a single, double or six deck game. Only catch is that it takes TONS of practice to get it right

Andy is a decent player but another example of a brainiac who falls short on potential. He may be an "expert on game theory" but he seldom practices it.

I turned down MIT to go to Rensselaer, a much better school in my opinion. Society places alot of value on educational pedigree, not what the education can do for a person. All in all he had to be smart but to wear the college on his sleeve is just gamesmanship.

I think the guy needs to be respected. He is banned from virtually all blackjack tables in the world. Everyone associates card counting with what they saw on "Rainman". But what Andy did was incredible, he was able to statistically anylise every card that passed... As soon as the deck swung in his favour, he would make a bet and beat the house. He is the reason that Casino's have Face recogniction software. A company called Griffin (a now well established casino database) was founded with the specific intention of stopping Andy and his crew from using their system.I can't speak for what he is like as a person, but i do have to respect the guys brains and balls

Guy's a punk - I busted his eye open in the Belagio when he insulted one of the waitresses for spilling his drink.

Something about this guy irritates me. The guy doesnt really have many tricks up his sleeve. The worst play i saw by him was when he had 2nd top pair with 10-A, with a board of something like 3 7 J T 3, and Gus Hansen held 10-3. Gus consistently bet around 30-40k until the river, where he made a FH with the 2nd three - and bets 200k uncharacteristically. Andy thinks for ages and decides to call - stupidity at its worse. Why the fuck would GUs all of a sudden bet huge when a pair forms on the board. Albeit a low pair, Gus likes to play all sorts of crap and so u cannot rule out he has a 3 or at least a jack (which would also beat him). I just think he shouldve mucked it with such a huge suspicious bet. Gus is not that stupid. Andy is.

I used to think he had class until I saw him get 86'ed from the Nugget on that awful Fox show. 'Casino.' I don't have a problem with BJ card counters but c'mon Andy. That's what you do when you are a student at MIT. You're a pro poker player. Act like one.

I doubt any of you have ever played the man online or live, so you have no business posting your comments. I was in a multi on Full Tilt with him a week ago, where he finished 1st and I finished 3rd out of 162 people. He didn't do much in the beginning, but his skill really started to show through at the final table. Don't discount the man, he is much better than any of you.

it just goes to show m.i.t. does not produce great players. ya they are smart but what college did phil Ivey go to? I think it was called AC tech if ya know what i mean. Block is just another rich guy who couldn't make it as a complete lawyer. Like Boyd.
