Default Re: Blackjack vs Poker

Your analysis is right, but I doubt he consistently getting penetration that good. Most good counters play two hands so if that is the case probably is playing at expectation. However, if he has won the vast majority of his sessions he has been getting lucky (uh, had a positive statistical fluctuation) and is for a rude awakening when he take a 100BB down turn.

To answer the original question, poker is easier to beat than blackjack. Poker players don't have to deal with heat, back off's, (flat betting, reduced pen in AC), obnoxious security guards, and all the other hassles that black jack players do. Plus there are very few good games in AC. ,
