What are the best hands that you can remember? This one will always stick out in my head. It was true 6 or so and I had my max bet out on 2 hands, and the dealer showed an ace. I took insurance. My first hand was hard 10, so I doubled and got an ace. 21, not bad at all haha. My 2nd hand was a pair of aces, so I split and got a 10 on each. I have now 4 max bets on the table and all my hands are 21. I'm now thinking "omg please pull a 7!" And the dealer did just that. :grin:

2 hands max bet and got 2 BJs. Happened twice yesterday!
I played two hands on a $25 table yesterday, min bet, and the first two hands were BJs. I figured, this is a good sign. Then I lost the next several hands in a row!! :laugh::laugh:

3 max bets out, dealer showed a 6. After splitting and re-spliting 10's and throwing down a couple more splits and double downs, I found myself with 8 max bets on the table (this was in Colorado where the single wager limit is $100, and here I am with $800 on the table :) ). Dealer busted!

Have been a BP. Betting almost up to the limit, 2 boxes.
First box: two sevens, second box - two fours. Dealer: 6.

Split sevens. Another seven. Split. Another seven and now..
To one of the sevens comes 4. Double. 9, totals 20.
To another one - ace. Double. 10, totals 18.
Another sevens finished with stiffs.

Fours. Split. Six to one of fours - double. 3, totals 13.
To the second four - four! Resplit, and.. yes, next four. 3 more hands starting with 4.
Getting A4 - double - ten. 15.
Another hands finishing in stiffs. So i have 4 doubles (20, 18 and two stiffs) and 4 stiff hands.
Dealer starts with six and gets a five. Eleven. F*ck! Then thirteen and bust.

Anyway, it's Blackjack and almost everything is possible. It's more important that hand was played correctly than that hand was crazy and finished with good result.

$1000 bet; splitting 5's against the dealers' KNOWN 14, only because I knew for sure that the next card was a 10 and that the card AFTER that was a 7!

or say, "I just know your bust card is coming up next!"

I mean, who knows, maybe two sevens are coming after the ten.

Not the best, but certainly an unusual, memorable, and profitable sequence . . . was playing 6D heads-up in A.C. at a store without LS at an astronomical count. Three straight max bet hands, with three straight hard 15's vs dealer 9. I was above the index to hit, so I stood on each hand . . . and the dealer busted all three times!

Best hand I ever played and it was pure dumb luck.
Playing on a table with a side bet that paid when any paired cards were in the players hand after first deal. Was just getting ready to leave the casino, playing two hands, put a dollar on the side bet just to get ride of the white, two suited queens in hand one (paid around 100:1), second hand, 7/4, I double. Dealer flips a sixteen, next card draws a ten. Win the side bet of to the tune of 100, and both hands. Great end to a day.

Played this weekend. Split aces, got another ace and split again. $75/bet each. Got something like a 19, 21 and maybe an 18. Dealer bust.

Pioneer in Laughlin a few years back.
My cards are A/7 against dealer 10, with a $5 bet out. Took a card and got a ten. The crazy cowboy who was the only player and is betting black chips stands. Dealer shows a low card, then busts. No big deal, until the cowboy flips me a black and tells me "I like your style. Most people would have stood on that hand".
