    Hi,

    i´m Data_life. I played Black Jack like a 1,5 Years. My English is not perfect !!!
    I´m looking Win,Win, Loose, Win -> Then I bet more for win or
    Win. Loose, Win, Loose -> Then I bet more for win. Sometimes it works good,
    sometimes not.
    Half Year ago I learn Counting, i´m only playing Online in the GPC in German you can´t count i a Casino.
    But the Counting not works very much better then the other Strategy or i´m counting not good enough.

    1) Can anyone help me which is the better Strategy ?
    2) Can I get here some tips to play better in Tournaments, some player bet
    for me irretated 155.00 or 360.00 can anyone explain that me or what is
    the important think to play good in Tournaments ?

    Thanks a lot for answers, please in easy ;-) enlish.

    Hope This Help's

    As far as the best way to play Blackjack,in my opinion the only way to play blackjack is with a counting system .As far as which counting system you use there are many to chose from from Level 1 to Level 11.You need to find one that is easy for you to use and shows you a long range profit.When first starting I would suggest a simple +1 - 1 count with the 7-8-9-having no value.The 2-3-4-5-6 would have a +1 value and the 10-J-Q-K-Aces would have a -1 value.You would be looking for a +3 or higher per deck. For example if you were playing a 6 deck shoe early in the shoe you would need a + 18 or higher running count to indicate when you should be increasing your bets and taking insurance.After one or two decks have been played you need to divide the number of deck still unplayed into your running count to obtain the true count.For example if your running count is +20 and 4 deck remain in the shoe you would divide 4 into 20 to get a true count of +5.All count systems are different some divide the deck in 1/2 meaning you would divide your running count by 12 early in a 6 deck shoe. Now to part B of your question which I happen to know a little about (LOL).When you see a player betting 155 or 315 or some odd number bet's pay close attention and watch their play because these for the most part are accomplished tournament players that have sized up the other players chips count and their bets have a specific meaning to them.Most novice players when put in the same sitution as I just mentioned will either make a Max bet or a Min bet.This is one of the many things that makes the difference between a novice player and a Tournament Pro.This is still an element of luck in tournaments but if you position yourself with proper bets over the long run the cards will even out and the same faces will appear more in the winners circle than most.I hope this helps in answering your question.As far as the request for easy english I'm from Brooklyn N.Y.where we have our own version of the english language. :laugh:

    count your steps

    When the casino is only dealing 50% of the cards,the only thing you should be counting is how many steps to the next casino to where they are dealing a fair game.Very little penetration has ruined many card counters in and OUT of the casinos. :laugh:
