| "Hit me again! Damn! I'm busted." |
- typical blackjack player |
| Many years ago now, Yahoo!
implemented an
on-line blackjack game at their popular
website.
Blackjack was also added to the
Spin Palace Website awhile back.
Although
I'm long since "retired," I had a lot of fun
playing here for the several weeks that I did. While
playing, I simply could not believe
how poorly some people play blackjack!! It is completely
unreal! Adam, Paul, are you reading this? Guys, you
simply would not believe it! I discovered most people
don't even have a clue
as to what Basic Strategy is, let alone know how to
implement it. I've seen plays that border on
outlandish... Splitting tens... Doubling
on a hard 15 or 16, hitting a hard 17 or 18, standing
unnecessarily on soft totals that are under 11... etc.,
etc. Unreal! This blackjack section is
my effort to help educate the few who would actually like
to learn how to improve their play. I think I'm qualified
to do so. I've been playing blackjack for over 21 years,
own more than 20 books on the game, and currently retired
with more money in the Yahoo! blackjack community
($460,000) Tusk
wrote to me during the middle of May letting me know she
started using my Basic Strategy chart with some initial
success. Wow, did she ever! Note:
I think this has got to be a record... negative 1.67 million???

Please
drop me a line and let me
know what you think of this section. |
than
anyone else, although Tusk 
was right
behind me at the time and now, 
with over
620,000 dollars, has long passed me by!!
