Anyone play Blackjack?

[Midswat]

I'm thinking of giving up on poker altogether (I rarely play anymore, but occasionally get the urge), and giving blackjack a try. But I know nothing about the game.

Do you agree with this chart?

Absolutely love this game. Its the only thing I play at casinos.

It's a chicks game.

I play blackjack. I'd say that chart is smart if you can stick with it. I play with an attitude though.

I get a lot of dirty looks from people I'm sitting with.

My thinking is, if I have 13 and the dealer is showing face card, I'm taking a card. But, since I'm having to try and improve my 13 I'm doubling down. Those cocksuckers are going to have to pay me if I'm hitting on 13.

I don't play much anymore. I used to go a couple times a month 4 or 5 years ago. Some nights I'd look like a pimp, other nights lke a chick that didn't know what the hell I was doing.

That chart will get you to break even over time, but you need to learn how to count cards if you are going to win.

Counting cards is frowned upon. Like masturbating on an airplane.

If you're gonna win you have to know when to expect the 10s
