I've only played a few BJ
hands at Merge Casino... about break even. Awhile back had a blistering run on the Barbary Coast Slot but eventually the house gets it back.
My "ATM" at Merge seems to be 3-card Poker. I play it conservatively, just ante bets with an occasional pair+ wager, and when I'm up 10-30 buckeroos I'll exit. I also exit when down 10-15 bux. Don't double up and try to catch up... they have you hooked then and they know how to set it.
When I go to Carbon I'll check out the MTT's and see if there is one I want to play, usually one that has a friend or two registered in. Head to Casino, 3-card, get up the buy-in (most times), exit and then go "freeroll" the MTT.
Surprising how often (last Friday's CC added for example) I'll cash in the game.... always cool to play and cash on house money.
I've been told the best player odds of winning is playing
baccarat.
Good luck to ya...
