Blackjack Time

I've got the bug. I'm learning to play blackjack. And I'm doing the mathematician's way. Logically. I'm determining the optimal strategy myself, instead of just trusting the widely accepted basic strategy. I'm determining the optimal strategy for every situation as in basic strategy, but based on the count. My guess is basic strategy assumes the count is 0. By varying your strategy based on the count, you may be able to get an edge in blackjack based purely on strategy change, and without even varying your bet.

Figuring if this is true or not should require some advanced statistical analysis. So I'm busting out the old Hogg & Tanis. Anyways, you can read more about my endeavor at AI Fun, my other blog.

Enjoy ;)
