Default More than one deck

i am new to blackjack and have only ever played with one deck so i have a question about the dealer using multiple decks. Are all the decks shuffled together so it is possible to have like five aces showing or do you play through one deck and then move on to the next deck. sorry for the noob like question

Shuffled together. So divide your running count by the number of decks remaining to get the "true count". Nothing wrong with newb questions, so long as you're steadily learning...

Yes. You may also be dealt two of the same card - a possibility worth considering in cases where the casino might offer bonuses for two queens of hearts (I hope I made the correct plural of that! )

Edit: welcome!
