I really like your comment "Don't let the highs get you too high and don't get the lows get you too low" That is an advice for not only blackjack but for life.

My first blackjack sessions ended when I ran out chips lmao

What you said there at the end is awesome

I had my biggest winning day at cash game poker of my life on Wednesday, won just over $6, 500 (a new house record for 10 hours at 1/3 blinds 200 max bet). By Friday I had almost forgot. Didn't even tell my parents for a long time. I just generated EV and left.

awesome advice and wisdom Colin! I sometimes think of it as this: If you have an edge like the casino has an edge, can you ever imagine a casino refusing any more bets because it made too much money? Would they close down the place cause they lost too much money in an hour or day? No, they want as much action as they can get, because over the long haul they will make more money than they payout. Again - thank you Colin for your wisdom.

Maybe should talk about risk management. How much you spend on daily has a huge impact on risk. So many people don't know that you can only spend a little portion of your expected return.

Another great video separating the professional rules from all the myths and amateurs. Constantly learning how detailed the game can actually be played.

I like those 4 reasons to quit a session I also like the reason that a bunch of aces and tens popped up on the first round of play to end a session especially if I'm tired or can also have one of the first 4 reasons to end a session it works well.

Sounds perfectly reasonable. I think as a semi-casual player I just get tired sometimes and run with the winnings.

As an ex high stakes blackjack dealer one piece of advise I can give you is to never gamble on Thurs Friday Saturday or Sunday night's. Those are the nights that all amateur and 1st time players play. You want to have a fair chance to win play Monday Tuesday and Wednesday days that semi pro players play.
I am sure that if you would have played at my table you would leave my table a loser every time. He'll I would even count along with you no matter what system you use.

Collin, are more casinos switching to CSM's these days? It seems as the population keeps going up they will use more of them and good games will be almost impossible to find. Thanks for all the great videos.

You said to don't overthink heat. I think it's good advice as to not let it affect you in while playing,

however I think diving deep, and establishing and creating methods to dodge and prolong casino detection & heat can be and is a significant factor for anyone counting

I got backed off last weekend and the security made a joke about watching Blackjackapprentice videos when i tried to say Im not a math wiz or someone who could even learn to count cards..

[ryceryder]

I work at a casino in California as a dealer and we never ban card counters. We cut the cards in a way where it’s hard for the counters to count.

Hey I live in the lower Puget sound. I love going to EQC and the Tulalip 🎰

[EricSmythChrist]

at 4:17 I can barely even watch the hand without counting all the cards hahaha

[AStanton]

I would add if you got a so-called table captain at the table who is over reaching. The last time I played, so guy was telling people not to sit at the table if they were going to jump in and jump out. I think he was up a grand, but lost it. In one hand he split two's and had one or two more splits---and lost it all.

When "Lady Luck" is sittung at the table, I try to leave the table before she gets up! :)

[ryanfoster]

I've watched most of your videos and the mini course. But what's the long run?

[DetroitSportsDebate]

I tried counting at a full table when I was already up big prior with positive playing near the end of each shoe. Just decided to stick around as others joins bad idea obviously, the count changes to drastically and conditions changed.
