Well I know that there are some real BJ players here. Especially Mason /images/smile.gif

Ok here is the deal BJ is coming to Az and I was talking to a buddy about learning the game. However before I learn it as a player I like to understand it as the house sees it.

Questions:

What is the houses edge against an average player?

Does the house do better against low bet amounts or higher?

How many hands per hour is normal?

How many decks in play is best for the house? How much of a difference between single & multi?

How much of a threat are the counters/great players really?

And a bunch of other stuff that I am sure will get thrown in. I find that if I can understand where the house is then many of the things I should do are obvious countermeasures.

Thanks in advance,
