you sit down at the BlackJack table in the Anchor spot and are deal A8 Suited and you check to see how many limpers there in front of you. I did this a coupleof times tonight while waiting for a spot to open on the poker table .

.. you walk by the blackjack tables and smile because you no longer have to play a -EV game at the casino.

Simulations performed by rec.gamblers show different amounts of potential player advantage in theory in BJ, depending on strategies, exact rules, and playing conditions. These numbers typically approach 1% (an average penny gain for every dollar bet) though in certain particular, ideal circumstances this can get somewhat higher. There is disagreement on the net about how much advantage this translates into in "real-world" casinos, but it's generally believed that players can play with a small, long-run advantage in BJ. The variance is very high in this game, however, which makes the slight advantage in BJ far from a sure thing.

I always get excited when I get 20s that are KK.

You all think that is funny but you should try going in and dealing BJ after playing 8 hours a day on your two days off. I'm messed up for the first 2 or 3 hours. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
