Cut the shoe one inch from the top. That puts the ten-card slug into play. I do this on every shoe; it’s a fundamental discipline for managing penetration.

It absolutely works, and I thoroughly enjoy the startled reactions from the blackjack dealer and the pit boss. I do not adhere strictly to all Basic Strategy rules. As a result, the pit boss often remains nearby, attempting to decipher my method for winning hands.
