How to Win More Blackjack Tournaments, by Kenneth Smith

[KenSmith]

I'm proud to announce today the immediate availability of my new E-book:



Priced at just $14.95, this new E-book is packed with tournament tips to extend your game to the next level.

Of particular interest are these brand-new articles in this collection:

• The Magic Numbers You Should Know for Every Tournament
• The Return of the "Rule of 2": A new use for an old friend.
• How Position Affects Micro-Leads: A topic I've never seen discussed before.

These three items are exclusively available in the new E-book, and have never before appeared in print. I think you'll find that these items alone are easily worth the price of the E-book.

In addition, Henry Tamburin and I chose some of my best columns from Blackjack Insider from the past few years to re-edit and professionally typeset for the E-book. In all, you get 25 articles of in-depth tournament advice.

Is this a good first book on tourney play? zg

[KenSmith]

Yes, there's a fair amount of information here that would be useful to a tournament novice, as well as plenty for more experienced players.

Just recently have i taken a interest in tournament blackjack. I believe me, and others alike, are intimidated by the fact that we dont know how to play. Therefore, i believe some people avoid the game in fear of being emberassed by others, from not knowing what theyre doing. I myself would be the first to admit this.

Until one day, i found enough courage to play in a online tourney. To my surprise, not only was it funner than i thought, it was easier as well. Before i knew it, i was hooked and shortly after that, i won my first tourney. I beat out 67 people.

Now i find myself playing everyday and winning more and more often. I believe tournament blackjack is here to stay,and must say, the game itself gets more popular each and everyday.

So thanks again ken, and please dont take it personally when i eliminate you in the UBT at the final table

So beware, ill see you there!

I look forward to it! I'm glad you've discovered how fun these events are. I think that playing tournament blackjack well is among the most challenging feats in all of gambling.

Will there be a hard copy as well in the future? I'm not a big fan of e-books, I find them tough on the eyes.

[KenSmith]

I don't know the answer to that. It depends on the sales of the E-book. I had one of my proofreading copies printed and bound at Kinko's and it turned out great. The cost was around $15. (If you choose to do that, you will likely need to get an email from the publisher telling Kinko's it's OK to print, but that won't be a problem.)

I've already purchased my copy! I havn't read it yet though, so I can't give a review.

I was once very interested in tournaments. There are none locally, so I played on the internet. I started out by reading Ken's strategies on his blackjack version of this site. I had really great initial results. I always did well and never looked back. Then the whole online gambling thing happened and I pulled out. It was unfortunate because I was honing my skills, having fun, and making money.

With the release of this new e-book, which I am sure is very good, I would like to put good use to it. The only way for me to do that right now is to play online. Are there any good places to play for a US customer right now? I used to play at UltimateBet, and I think they still allow US customers, but I am not 100% sure about that.

[KenSmith]

Yes, UltimateBet is still available to US customers, as is their skin at Bet21.
Tournaments are also available at Blackjack21.com. Non-US players can also compete at GameAccount.com.

Is there any risk at all about playing there? If a US player plays there, is the player breaking the law, or is the site breaking the law by allowing it? Do you still play at both of those?
