it is impossible to count online, because there is no way to tell when a shuffle occurs.

actually some casinos eg casino del rio have live webcam blackjack which is not only easy to count due to the fact that you can make notes use logging programs etc. but also can't kick you out for switching your bets as easily just a thought.

That sounds too good to be true. What's the catch? Lousy rules?

8 decks, 50% penetration, and about 30 hands (if that) per hour.

I was just looking into this. Their rules are "Las Vegas strip" with the following exceptions:

1. No split
2. Only one card is drawn to split aces
3. Dealer will not check for BJ in any case. (?)
4. If player doubles and dealer draws A, dealer gets blackjack, player loses both bets.

Will someone clue me in as to the effect of these rule changes? I have only the most cursory knowledge of BJ.
