powerpoker 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 As far as Black Jack i'm no card counter because I like to drink and watch/talk to people. The two things I have noticed from Las Vegas Black Jack.1. You will never win with 8 deck shoes. The majority of your basic strategy is to hold when dealer has 2 - 6. But the dealer seems to always makes a hand with 8 decks. Don't try to tell me there are more tens for the dealer to bust.Stay away from BJ what casino in Vegas uses 8 decks...5 is standard....you know..the thing is..i was always a blackjack player before a poker player...been playing poker for about 6 years now but was playing black jack for over 10......just stay away from the blackjack tables...you might have a good run and win some money but eventually they will take what you won and more..way more.....i know ballys uses 8 decks on some tables and the standard shoe is actually 6 decks not 5 :wink: Link to post Share on other sites

jayboogie 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I hate blackjack!!!!!It's probably a good thing that I always lose at it, makes me never want to play it. Ditto goes for sports betting. Link to post Share on other sites

JD Roark 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I bet you also have trouble when you go to the supermarket to just buy a gallon of milk and you make it all the way to the checkout without a problem. But then there is this old lady taking a lot of time in front of you and the next thing you know you are getting in your car and you have a gallon of milk plus:* 3 packs of Juicy Fruit* Latest edition of the National Enquirer* 2 tins of Altoids* 1 Three Musketeers Bar* Large pack of Skittles* People Magazine* $10 donation to the World Wildlife Fund* 8-pack of Duracell AAA bateries :shock: Tough break man, checkout lines suck Link to post Share on other sites

A few drinks, the dark lights and before you know it all your chips are gone because you did'nt get change for your quarter chips. Next time you go to Hard Rock look at how closely the 5 and 25 dollar chip resemble.You can also never make a run at Hard Rock because inevitabley some good looking girl or some dumb guy will sit down at your table and hit on sixteen against the dealers five. Over and over again. Stay away from BJ only one good thing has ever come from those 2 letters Link to post Share on other sites
JacKingOff_suit 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 To OP, no matter you won or lost at the black jack tables, you would give them all back at the poker tables because you have no discipline.Been there done that then I realized myself having a discipline issue.

SpeedKills 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 you have to have tunnel vision whenever you go into a casino. They always put their card rooms in the back of the casino so you have to walk by all kinds of table games and slots to get to them. If you are really serious about playing you need to just walk in keep your mind on getting to the poker room, stay away from the pit games and the free booze. I myself am a sucker for both. We all have a lot to learn. Link to post Share on other sites

three2 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Blackjack gets me back my poker losses. (Commence loss of credibility to forum.)Increment your bets. At least you lose more slowly.Double-down as much as possible, but don't be the one person at the table who doesn't know basic strategy. It is kind of funny. But people get so mad when someone stays on 12-16 with the dealer showing a face card, but they don't say much if the dealer busts and pays the table.I play blackjack 3 or 4 times a week. I usually play $50-200 hands. And I've had success over the last few years.If I could say one obvious thing, "Don't ever play blackjack online." I've never been able to catch a streak and increment that into a win online. Link to post Share on other sites

Luv4TheDuece 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 the commerce casino has an option where you can be the dealer and everyone else is playing against you. i think you have to pay them a dollar a hand tho, but from what i see, the asians CLEAN UP on it. I went thier one day and this guy was doing it. I come back the next day at roughly the same time and hes STILL THERE with a the same clothes on and a box load of chips.

shinychicken 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 online blackjack is rigged...You don't know what you are doing then.?? because i say online blackjack is rigged i dont know what im doing? explain..i played liveOnline can be rigged, but if you do it correctly, you'll almost always come out ahead. They give you bonus money up front and then tell you to wager so much to cashout. You are gambling with their money. Just look at my blog under starluck for the math.
