A WORD FROM HENRY
20% CLASS DISCOUNT EXTENDED FOR BJI SUBSCRIBERS
The hands-on video poker class that I will be teaching in Las Vegas on Friday August 18 is nearly filled; however, there are a few spots remaining. You'll receive not only the 20% discount but also a set of course notes, a video poker book, three video poker strategy cards, and one video poker training software on CD for FREE (worth $117). You don't need to have any experience playing video poker to attend the class. For more details on what I will be teaching, click here. As a BJI subscriber, you can obtain the 20% discount (even after the August 1 deadline) by calling 1-866-738-3423 and telling the agent that you are a BJI subscriber and you want the "Henry Tamburin 20% Discount." (There are only a limited number of spots left in this class so if you want to attend, please call ASAP.)
Our August issue has two Las Vegas blackjack reports: one on the El Cortez casino (by Stu D. Hoss), and the other on the Aliante and Cannery casinos (by KC Brooks). (There are some good blackjack games in these casinos.) I get asked a lot blackjack questions; this month I'll reveal the ones that I get asked the most often (with answers, of course). If you want to know what were the four techniques that the MIT blackjack team used to beat the casinos, read former MIT team member Nicholas Colon's article. If you want to learn some techniques on how to rat-hole your chips to give the perception that you are a loser (or won less) playing blackjack, check out the tips in Paul Wilson's article. I've been asked several questions about no-hole blackjack games so I decided to include an article about it in this issue of BJI. My friend, attorney, and author Robert Loeb offers his perspective on the (21) reasons for the decline of advantage play blackjack. One of the newer video poker games is Ultimate X; Jerry "Stickman" explains how the game is played and what strategy you should use to play it. In this month's Casino Answerman column, John Grochowski answers some interesting questions dealing with games that win less often because they win more money; the house edge on mini-roulette; and the odds of two successive blackjack hands and two successive three-of-a- kind hands playing Three Card Poker.
Enjoy the issue,
Henry Tamburin
