No prob. Online can be a bit discouraging. I have my days online tho. Today I played for like 25 minutes and happened to win $105 playing $10 2 unit bets. The other day I dropped $55 easily maybe winning 2 hands in the 5 minutes I played. Its up and down like any other gambling, but the strategy helps.
I play basic strategy all the way. You have to know it by heart. As soon as the dealer's card comes up you have to know immediately what your move is. I don't mind playing alone. Although many say not too. If you're doing well stick with it. Don't play with anyone who is being stupid by splitting 10's or any other bs moves. If you know the strategy, you'll know if you need to leave. It's hard enough to win in bj, don't need idiots getting in the way.
One thing that some people do,that I don't is I don't double down on an 11 against a dealer's 10. I just hit. If you lose a few of your double down opportunities in a row, don't get discouraged. I know its deflating, but a double down can bring you right back to life. That reminds me, I also don't double down anything if I'm on my 4th ot 5th in a row. I'm not risking that much, so i'll just hit and hope for the best, but do what you want.
Stick to the plan and I play 6/8 deck usually, but it probably works the same on any size shoe.
You may hover a little up or a little down for an hour at a time. It's all about the grind. Don't play all day though. A couple hours here and there. Go get a beer or find your buddies.
