Your most expensive habits
Ranked by estimated cost
Nothing yet. Play some hands and every mistake gets logged here with what it cost.
Stage one
Leave every toggle on. Play until basic strategy accuracy sits above 99% over a couple of hundred decisions. Nothing else matters until that number is there — counting on top of bad basic strategy is worth nothing.
Stage two
Turn off the count tags on the cards but keep the HUD. You are now reading ranks and converting them yourself, with a safety net. Add seat churn and terrible players so the rhythm keeps breaking.
Stage three
HUD off, count checks on, index plays on, dealer pace fast. This is the real thing. If your count accuracy holds above 90% through a full shoe at this setting, you can count.
