For starters, how many understand that "basic strategy" (and the associated disadvantages/advantages) is optimal ONLY until the first card is dealt? "Playing basic strategy" is not something that can be done on a long-term basis with the same percentages--yet pretty much everyone pretends that it is. Including the "gurus" who admonish the wannabes to "revert to basic strategy" whenever they lose the count. Or--even more foolishly--to sit down in the middle of a shoe and regard the cards that have gone before as "undealt"--because, after all, one has not seen them, so one should pretend they remain in play.
Blackjack is a great game, and can be profitable.

Would you consider James Grosjean a serious player...or is he just a "guru"?
