Playing Blackjack is fairly easy to learn. But learning to play the game well takes education and playing practice. The Blackjack is all about the total of 21 when adding up the cards dealt to you and the same applys for the dealer. The cards equal face value from 2 through nine. Ten and face cards are each a total of ten and the aces are either one or eleven. The premise of the game is to get as close as you can to 21 without going over or busting your hand. The dealer must hit (take a card) any hand that totals less than 17. If the dealer has a soft 17, which is six and an ace, the dealer must hit the hand. Any hand that totals over 17 the dealer will stand pat on that hand. The player has no such rules. The player can stand on any total they wish to stop at.

The game begins with each player electing an amount to bet on the hand up to the table limit. The deal begins with each of the players being dealt two face up cards and the dealer being dealt one face down (the hole card) and one face up. These cards are dealt in order. Each player adds up their card total and then makes a decision about what they will do when it is their go to hit the hand. If the dealer is dealt a blackjack, the hand stops and the dealer wins all hands that are not a blackjack. A player with a blackjack hand would tie the dealer and the bet would stay up. Blackjack is an ace and a card with a value of ten.

The most major rule of blackjack is to let the dealer bust and keep your hand in play. The only time you would hit a bustable hand is when the dealer is showing a seven or higher card. If you have between sixteen and twelve you should hit the hand if the dealer has a seven or better showing. Any time the dealer has a bust card showing the player should not hit their hand. The exception is if you have a total of ten or eleven, you should double your bet if the dealer is showing a break card. If the dealers face up card could be part of a good hand, it is a decision based on how your luck has been going. There is a good deal extra to this game. A new player would be wise to read a book on blackjack or go on the Internet and read further about the play of blackjack and the various other rules.

How to play blackjack with these tips and strategies.

Blackjack is a pretty straightforward game to learn. You get 21, you win! Go over 21 you lose! Dealer gets closer to 21 than you without going over, you lose! Well, it\’s a little more complex than that, but you get the idea.

When you get a 21 dealt to you in the first 2 cards, it is very exciting! This is what makes blackjack such a fun game to play. There are several strategies that help you get the advantage over the house. Here are some of them:

1. Card counting – This is the art of assigning a point value to different cards and keeping track as the cards are dealt. This will allow you to have better odds at knowing which cards are likely to come up if you decide to hit. It can be difficult, especially if you are not that good at math!

2. Know when to hold – You have to assume the dealer has a 10 value under there card at all times. If the dealer is showing a 9, you assume they have 19. Then, you would hit until you beat 19 or decide to stand. If they are showing a 5, you assume they have a 15 total. This is where you should stand and assume the dealer is going to bust.

3. Software that does all the work for you! How would you like to play blackjack as a software program calculates all the possibilities for you and tells you when to hit, stand, split, double down and more? This is the ultimate advantage. While you can\’t do this at the casinos (unless you want to get beat up!), you can do this at online casinos.

A lot of this gambling/card “lingo” is still new to me, so english translation would help quite a lot.

My strategies so far is whenever I have say 10 or 11 and the dealer has 9,10,11, I always double, most of the time it works. Also, whenever I land on 18-20, I always stand. Other than that I don’t really know how to take advantage of Surrender or other hitting strategies, etc..

Can anyone help?
