3 CLICKS!!!!! I never click more than twice otherwise my finger gets really tired :D

You could just have a direct link to the BJtourney boards from the main board here and vice versa.

Wouldn't it be good to combine this forum with the Tournament forum? More people visit this forum and I'm very lazy and hate switching sites all the time.

Whilst reading the various books on BJ most seem to talk about having a $10,000 bankroll and I just wondered what exactly do they mean by that. Do they mean you should have $10,000 in your pocket as it were or is it more compolicated than that, say have an actual "in the pocket" bankroll of...

Don't get me wrong Hollywood, I don't want to assualt you, nor do I want anybody else to do so! I'm new to BJ and I always thought that whilst the game was exciting to play unless you counted cards, had plenty of time and the conditions were right you were always going to be a loser (I live in...

Just been watching Celebrity BJ and they use some pretty unusual rules - 5 card charlie = win and if you draw a Joker you get to replace it with any of the unplayed cards on the table including the dealers. Must help the player rather than the house I guess (else it would be more widely used)...

Never played in meatspace and live in the UK. Anybody know what land-based casino bj is like in the UK? Is it worth it? Any place do BJ tourneys yet? Help!!! Also where should a neophyte like myself go if I was taking a short trip to vegas? Learning KO, pretty good at BS, modest bankroll...

Hi Firstly, are there any forms/log books available to buy/download to track BJ play, especially related to tourneys? Secondly, if someone is trying to develop their own counting system how can you test it over say, 1 billion hands? Thirdly, how do you find the right forum/thread to...

Just learning to count and play tourney BJ. How do you apply the former to the latter? (Yes I know this isn't the Tournament board - I shall be posting there also) Cheers

Brilliant!! However I'm shocked to learn that there is a refined basic strategy!!!! Here is a quote from the article Basic strategy that has been fine-tuned to take your card composition into account says to stand with 16 against a 10 if your 16 contains any 4s or 5s. But most players never...

Hi I don't know whether this is the best forum for this question but the article is on this site so I'll post here first. Anyway I have been reading the strategy articles on BJ tournaments and am a little confused about something. It's from the bit about getting a free hit and the section...

The BlackJack Expert/Mentor/Counter suite of trainers from Deepnettech at http://www.deepnettech.com/ are really good trainers that you can use on a PDA as well as a PC(I practice on the toilet!). They do allow you to train on hard, soft and pairs only if that's what you want to do. You can...

What should I read into 40+ message views and no replies? Has nobody read it yet? It must be bad...

Is it any good? What's the best book for BJ tournament play?

Hi I was wondering about starting a BJ tournament home game with a few mates as we don't have easy access to casinos and I just thought it'd be fun. Anybody else do that? Any tips? Can't see why it wouldn't work... Cheers TheReach
