If the dealer is showing a 6, I'd sure as hell split on 20!

If the dealer is showing 7 or higher always hit that 16, you'll be surprised how many times you'll pull a real nice hit.

I agree with Joan, split that 20 if the dealeris showing 3,4,5 or 6 but not a 2. 2 is the dealers best friend.

I always double down on a 10 or 11 when the dealer isn't showing a face card.

If you had a pair, you'd double on 12 when the dealer doesn't have a face card!

Absolutely! You do not know how many times i've been at a casino and some jackass has doubled on 10 or 11 or split a pair of anything with the dealer showing a face card. Ooooooh I just want to throttle that person, or the idiot who hits 18, seen that a few times too, that will generally get that person a verbal asswhipping from me and then I generally get a visit from the pit boss soon afterwards

I always split when the pit boss shows a face too.

It usually means he has an ace that I need insurance against.

Just a different way of playing I guess. Hell I think my way is the logical way but can never figure out why the guy sitting next to me is up a few grand and he's as erratic as a blind driver and i'm breaking another c note. Cards are all luck, like the first time poker player who cleans out the table without really knowing what he's doing, seen that a few times too.

Dammit man I totally missed that one! Pit boss didn't even register with me, my bad! I just saw the split and face and thought hey he likes to go for broke!

BTW I would actually sell my business and become a dealer or pit boss if anybody has any connections. Those people believe it or not with all the tips make some serious coin!

You questioning my manlihood, biatch?:
I do quite well on the blackjack table, thanks, earned myself a Tag Heuer last time I was there. Went straight to the duty-free shop and invested my earnings before I was tempted to gamble them away.

How sad is it to see someone make a ton of money at the tables and then piss it all away in an hour

 

[5stringJeff]

I suck at actual gambling, I have to settle for the PC!

 

[nycflasher]

Careful, if you start playing for money it can be quite addicting I hear.

I've never played blackjack online, though.
Oh wait a minute, yes I did.
I tried it once, using 20 bucks off my credit card.
Lost it in less than 5 minutes.
click-click-click-click... gone
I don't trust gambling websites, some crafty programming could fuck you out of a lot of money!
If you let it...

I don't use real money, just one of those casino games with fake cash. I've already lost enough real cash on craps and roulette!
