I dumped 5 bucks into it on a break, lost, and didn't play again.

I could easily see myself playing $1 blackjack on breaks - but otherwise, I have no interest in it at all.

This is how I got started playing blackjack on party when it first opened. I guess I may be more suseptible or somthing to getting out of hand, I dunno. But just be careful.

And for everyone saying how stupid it was for me to play, I know! I know BJ is -EV. I realize how stupid I was. While I was thowing away most of my BR, I knew what I was doing yet wouldnt stop. I feel so embarrassed and regretful about the whole thing. I am just thankful I left enough BR for me to recover fairly quickly.

Come on dude, you know that internet blackjack can't be beaten(or should know). Why were you playing in the first place?

My sentiments exactly. BJ = -EV

Also, don't you know that in Internet blackjack it's a single deck with a shuffle between each hand? Thus, with optimal play it's still a -EV game even more than in a casino because you can't count cards. Simply put David Sklansky would have a hard time, if he even could, beating Internet blackjack.

None of this is true.

Really GoT? I had always heard that's how Internet Blackjack was set up at all sites. Oh well, I'm sure you know better than I do. Sorry to the OP for posting false information.

If you do it again, then you should start to worry.

Hopefully this hurts you enough that you won't repeat it. I know that when I was doing some casino whoring I sometimes got a little carried away, but I never risked any of my playing bankroll.

I went into the images folder within the Party Poker folder on my computer and deleted all of the blackjack images and the sidebet images. You should do the same.

Should I tell you guys the story of my buddies who collude on the 5$ SNGs and dont even win?

Why is my name blue now? I wanted brown...

Delete the BlackJack files from the Party Software. Now.

and go to image file to get rid of Sidebet and Black jack images so you dont see it. (also, sidebet interferes w/ pokerace so you should do this anyways)

Sorry to hear your story.

Just remember this: Blackjack is -EV unless it's $1 blackjack and you're getting free drinks, counting cards and your cocktail waitress is hot.

I don't see my computer dispensing gin & tonics every few orbits in a skimpy outfit... do you?

I guess you haven't downloaded Party's new version yet, have you?
