Re: Party Poker BJ Tournament
I haven't looked at the promotion...but I don't think it's a BJ tourney that's ON Party. They are giving away packages to a cruise/BJ tourney.
It is correct that there is MUCHO strategy in a regular, big BJ tourney. Very different from a poker-tourney.
It would not be a winning strategy to bet the minimum on each round.
The last couple of hands there is some very tricky math involved at times regarding bet-size and playing decisions.
You aren't just trying to get the most chips and beat the dealer....there are times you actually would want to LOSE the hand (if you have $5 bet and your main opponents have $5000 bet).
Stanford Wong (blackjack card-counting pioneer) wrote a very good book on casino-tournament strategy (BJ, craps and 3-card-poker tourneys, etc etc).
I know only a little about BJ tourneys, but I've played in a few so I'm vaguely familiar with what happens in them.
I'm not pursuing this promotion though (haven't read it yet actually...so maybe I'll see something that I think is +EV after reading the terms for the promo...but I doubt it).
