Hi ALL. Continue to play Blackjack and describing typical situations. Deciding to vary a little style of my Edgeless Casino experience stories, to show and discuss my best played blackjack hands. Even like Poker Stars discussed their tournament's best hands.
Start with these have been dealt hand:
So, Dealer had “10” and I had “12” or “2”. For me, two Aces on the hand one of the worst Blackjack’s situation, especially against dealer’s 10. Dealer’s “10” points hand is the strongest hand, more stronger than “Ace”. Only one thing I was sure that Dealer have not got immediately natural Blackjack. Because according to Edgeless Casino rules Dealer must immediately show his blackjack and announcing your loose.
Dealer had 10 and that with very great probability almost will receive “18”, “19” or “20” after next dealt card. In case of hard 12 with the next dealt hand I could burst.
Of course I made SPLIT, haven doubling my bet. And receiving some chances for the natural blackjack too. But these chanes are not more than 7.692%.
and the first card that I received was “3”. So I had “14” or “4”. Didn’t matched my expectations blaming bad luck. At least that wasn’t hard “14”. “14” points – almost 99.9% probability to loose against Dealer’s 10. Of course I’ve pushed the “HIT” Edgeless button. And……
… been received “10” . pure nightmare )) gotten hard 14. Against dealer “10” according to basic blackjack strategy you must to hit another card. I remembered that I had double bet ) and almost one hand I loose to the Casino. Beginners at these situation start to nervous. They planed to receive blackjack , but received very bad situation. But that’s only cards with their probability mathematic. If you will stop with face up “10” Dealer’s card you will lose in more than 75%.
After have been hitting…
…. That was real nightmare to received hard “16” against dealer “10”. The real minutes of truth. If it’s as only first cards against Dealers 10 you must to SURRENDER. But at this point of time there is no SURRENDER options The game theory tell us , that there is only “Loose” guarantee ) There are two ways: to stop and to wait Dealer bursting or to hit another card and with great probability to burst themselves. you must to call in mind the probability theory again. Nothing been changed from situation a minute ago when I have “14”. Dealer with more than 75% probability will receive more than 17. And there is no difference to loose bet because of smaller points than dealer, or because of bursting. With dealer first “10” the only lucky story for you only if he will receive “3” and “10 ” for example )) no one will guarantee these for you. Basic blackjack strategy tell us to HIT another card.
I was lucky enough to received “3” and I had got “19” points of course that was good.
I stopped with my first hand , and stared to play on the second hand.
On the second hand I was very lucky to received natural Blackjack.
So I had only to wait Dealers dealt cards.
Dealer received “8” and “18” points at all. I won both hands.
But very urgent to conclude that dealer been received “8” and “18” points. That is why every my decision to HIT another card on “14” and “16” was right. That tell Us basic blackjack strategy to play only according you hands not your balance.
Player must to HIT against Dealers “8”, “9” , “10”, “A” always on less than “16” points! Do not playing only with the good dealt hands, and think that you will be more lucky next time or with another SPLITTED hands. You have to take calm decision with the cards that you have.
More will be discussed in the upcoming posts.
Be Happy, Be Lucky and play with EDGELESS!!!
