Dominic_ Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Counting cards is fun. I used to do it when I played blackjack. Eli, I'm actually banned from the treasure chest for counting cards. And Rez just go watch the movie 21. Gambling was my early 20s in a nutshell. How can they catch you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 And I agree with Brucie. I could make it easier on myself and just PP you the money now I'm not sure you'd necessarily lose. There is some luck involved in getting the cards. So long as you don't play reckless and call on like 4 & 7 all the time you can hang around. Not to say great players can't outplay poor ones, but there is still chance involved. I also assume I'll lose more than I win, but it it's like the same price as going to a movie and I get something fun to do on a Thursday that doesn't require a babysitter.

KingTacoMunster Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I slacked and didn't download it last night, due to a shit night and my 3 year old having the flu, but I should be home in time to download and be ready by 8pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they ever explained how the "count" was found, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a Google account you can multi-user video chat easily. So, for people who wanted to, we could do a video chat during the game. I haven't sorted out just how I'll hide my face yet though. Can't show any tells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcha Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hey, you, kid. You're winning too much. Get out of here. Pretty much. I was 22 and i raked in close to 4 grand in less than an hour. They were switching dealers out on me every 10 minutes when its supposed to be every 30 (every time they switch a dealer they burn a card to mess up anyones count). They did never find a 'true' count. But if you're decent enough with math you can keep on top of it. That mixed with luck can get you banned from a casino. I wonder if my name is still on the banned list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcha Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Alright Buzzerson and Eli have been added. Now you guys just need to go register for the tourney before it begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcX Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 With ANY video chat service you can elect to turn off your cam, leaving only voice as an option. But I have a great pokerface, I think, so I'll leave it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeconspiracy Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 It's all about calculating your odds. And knowing what cards you need to make your hand..given you think you are behind in a certain situation. Heres a very broken down easy example. You have 10/Jack of clubs. The flop has 2 clubs on it. You need another club to complete a flush. What are your odds on the turn and on the river? There are 13 cards for every suit. You have 4 of them currently so there are 9 left. After the flop you can do a simple X 4 to learn your percentage going into the turn. So 9 x 4 = you have roughly a 36% chance of making a flush. That ratio goes down if you miss a club on the turn. Now going into the river you do 9 x 2 = you have roughly an 18% chance of making your flush. This all comes into play with the size of the pot also and pot odds. Taking those percentages and turning them into odds based on the bet sizes of the pot that you are in. If the pot is currently $40 of play money and some makes a pot sized bet into you of $40 and you have a 36% chance. You aren't getting good enough pot odds to make a call and chase a flush you may not hit. If they bet half the pot ($20) you're usually getting 2 to 1 on your money to continue and chase your cards. this was way too much math/reasoning for my tired worked-all-day brain. yep. totally gonna embarrass myself with my lack of poker skills tonight :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
