What a nightmare!
At the Casino last night....
On a 'good run'....
Me stakes £120 on one hand....
I get two aces!!!............
BUT....
The dealer also gets an ace.
Decisions decisions.....
I split the aces.......
So I now have £240 on the table ......
I get a face card on one, making 21, and a 9 on the other, making 20.....
I was still thinking about how my new stack of chips was going to look infront of me, when I heard the mortal words 'Black Jack!'
Yep, the dealer had Blackjack, and I was left £240 shorter off one hand!
Luckilly, and only luckilly, as I do not yet count the cards, I recovered the losses, but left the Casino only £30 in the green.
But it's better than red!

Ouch. Too bad it wasn't more Americanish rules, where at least the dealer would mostly offer insurance and peek for blackjack before you split your bet.

It was INCORRECT to split tha Aces against Ace in ENHC type rules.
Ms Sparx, learn correct BS otherwise you are just a hopless punter and we have little tolerance for ignorance around here. Cap'ce? zg

The use of the term punter is a dead giveaway.

It looks like she wants to be known as a she. It's just a lot easier to go along with it. Besides, there's only one occasion where it makes any difference, and it has nothing to do with blackjack.

I'm going to refer to he/she as It. It needs to learn basic strategy, It needs to learn to count cards, It puts the lotion on the skin!

Thanks Zen,
It is SHE actually!
I HAVE been learning BS found at
http://www.blackjackforumonline.com/.../BasicChap.htm
Correct me if I am wrong, but this calls fr Aces to be split no matter what card the dealer has?
I am trying!
