Comment on No-Bust BJ (California) by Tryan

Hey, Steve, It has been awhile.
In the no bust chart , why would we hit 10 vs 10 and double 10 vs A ?

PS I like the new Barona BJ with the side bet on whether you will win or not.

I haven’t yet fully quantified the collusion edge to this game, but my rough guess right now is that it reduces the house edge by half. There’s just not enough opportunities to make counter- basic strategy decisions. But I will have to total it all up in the near future. I’m working on a practice game for the site right now.

Thanks for reading!
Steve

Great site and great analysis. I was wondering if you had done the calculations to see what the overall gain to basic strategy there is with perfect information. Two players through six. This probably could be done algebraically. Would be very good info. I know a game that allows players to play two hands, so a friend and I could play two hands each for a total of four quite easily.

Thanks for the hard work,

There are two Ultimate apps for the iPhone, but nothing that I’ve seen at an online casino or free version.

I’ll probably write a UTH applet sometime soon. I’ll keep you posted on it’s progress. Other than an iPhone app, I haven’t seen any places to practice the game yet.

just discovered the game in my local casino and love it. (even though i obviously had a wrong strategy for i always played the trips).

do you know if there is a place/site/service somewhere in the internet where i can play it online? I’d like to try out your strategy on a low level, before i enter the casino and play with 100 ante… maybe there’s some game with another name – as far as i found out the name is copyrighted by shufflemaster.

keep up the good work!
