So today I was watching the history channel special on Ace Tracking and Black Jack. Ace Tracking or Shuffle-tracking is a mathematically-based approach, just like card
counting. In fact, shuffle-tracking is based on card counting.The premise of shuffle-tracking is that shuffles are nonrandom -by this I mean that the location of cards after the shuffle is tosome degree predictable. Counting is necessary to have some ideaof the favorability of different regions of the played cards, so that these regions may be tracked through the shuffle.

A common shuffle used by casinos is the "zone shuffle". Here, the cardsare broken into piles, and then the shuffling is only performed betweenthe piles. Thus, even with the uncertainty in pick sizes and riffs, a particular card has a zero percent probability of being in certain
portions (most of) the shuffled pile, and a high probability of being in one or two particular portions of the shuffled pile. Casinos do not use more thorough shuffles, because more thorough shuffles take more
time and reduce profits (and fortunately shuffling machines have not
yet caught on.)

So this made me think that this could be used in live poker. You could just have an overall view of what cards are coming or what cards your opponent has. I think this can be more applicable to home games rather than in casinos; mostly due to the various shuffling techniques. Well, this is just something to think about.

As some of you know i recently moved to NL .25/.50. I must say this is amazing. Ive been 4-5 tabling 4 of which are 6 max and and the others are full rings. I believe I can move up in stakes,however I think I need to play more. If i can consistantly make money at .25/.50 for about 2 weeks then ima move up to .50/1.
