How to Memorize Basic Strategy

Here’s your assignment:

• Recite what I just taught you (the Splits section of the chart) 10 times today. Once you can recite it from memory, you can move on to the Soft Hands , then Hard Totals and Surrender (below the Splits video).

• If you haven’t seen it yet, Watch our Basic Strategy Video  (Note: This is one of the many videos included in our Card Counting Training Course.)
