2-deck Blackjack (pitch) 6-deck Blackjack (shoe) Bankroll: still figuring out, suggestions welcomed! Still figuring out, suggestions welcomed! Bets: Rapidly change, but doesn't last long: Slowly change, but you'll have more rounds to continue with ramped up bet: Cards, number of: 104: 312: Card-counting. Two-decks cut-away? In a two-deck pitch game, they cut away about half.in the two -deck shoe games, they cut away about 1/3. In any event, I agree with the others here - play BS as you would with a 'new' 6-deck shoe.or, better still, wait for the shuffle! #8 topcard, Sep 7, 2017.
edit for more info: It's not single deck. It's double deck but they only deal out 1 deck. So penetration is one deck. double on any two cards but aces only one card allowed(no resplit of aces), Sur allowed, Hit soft 17.
Found this 2 deck blackjack game but they only deal out one deck then reshuffle. Bets are $25 min to $300 max. Is it even worth it to count?
I will venture a guess that you're actually playing single deck BJ, and from what I've read, single deck should be more favorable than DD, and easier to count. But there are some missing considerations to evaluate the 'DD BJ' game you found:- Any estimate on PEN?
- Is it DAS or nDAS?
- SURR?
- RSA?
- Any idea of the HEAT?
- Is it S17 or H17?
If you can provide these conditions, I'll try another evaluation. I'm sure the more experienced card-counters will jump on it right away.
If I could do 2x25 to 2x300, and could play it all day, I'd play it all day. Heads up, of course.

I'm a new counter. I've been backed off once at a different casino. I'm pretty sure it's being watched closely as that's the only non asm bj at the casino. I'm not even sure what to look for.
How new are you? Being backed off doesn't always mean you have a winning game, just that the casino noticed you changing your bets. When you say you're not sure what to look for, do you mean in a game to count?1) Heat
2) PEN
3) Rules (das, da2, surrender, h17/s17/, etc, etc, etc)
4) Limits (rare but some casinos have weird limits)
*this is just for basic card counting

#1 has to be the hardest to gauge. Especially for newbies. There's the saying, 'there is no heat, until there's heat!'
