tournament help

#1
hey im playing in an online tournament where you can play 50 hands whenever you want so you dont see what other people are betting or anything. You get $1000 dollars in chips. I know I should just play BS and hope for the best but does anyone have advice on how much to bet?? The leader right now has 16000

There is a blackjack tournament section to this site. I am not sure if they have forums though.

If you are playing to win I would think you would have to bet VERY aggressively to catch the leader at 16,000. I would start betting fairly high and hope for a nice run. As your bankroll goes up you can increase your bets accordingly to try catch the leader. I'm not a tournament expert or anything, so it's just my opinion.

Yes Scott...."they" do have forums and many of them do play in on-line "sit n goes". If it's about tournaments, the "tournament" sister site (actually, it was in operation before Ken started this part of the Blackjack forums) has information on it!
