 Blackjack
tournament play
Anyone playing in
online gambling tournaments have one goal – to win! The same
applies also to blackjack whether it is online or in a casino.
Yet, did you ever come to think that tournament blackjack is
vastly different than playing with friends at the kitchen table?
Therefore, learning to master the art of tournament blackjack is
a highly attained skill that can be acquired if done precisely.
In introducing tournament play first things first – it is very
basic. Blackjack bettors begin each round with 5,000 chips as
they start out in the preliminary round.
It is the player who has been most successful with their chips
after 25 hands who will advance to the blackjack semifinals. It
is there that after another 25 rounds the same applies that
whoever has the most chips after 25 rounds will have his chance
to go for the pot at the finals table. Depending on how much the
grand total is worth depends on how much the blackjack contender
will win.
Sometimes getting to the final blackjack tables takes a few
busts by fellow players when your cards are just hip and hopping
flying high enough to edge their way into the finals. Keep your
eye out and don’t be so quick to quit you might just be able to
strut your way in to the final table.
Sometimes a winning blackjack table will not be exactly what you
dreamed of, few have edged their way in with just 2,700 even if
its half of what you began with.
It is common for blackjack tournament strategists to begin
frugally, but what you end up finding out is that most refrain
from that simply stated technique. Some usually start getting
very aggressive and can bet up to 900 chips a hand, which some
find very useful in the beginning stages of play. It pays out
for some attempting to take the lead in tournament blackjack.
Some who’ve done this have taken as up to a 4,000 chips lead in
their blackjack play, which has been enough to keep their seat
for the final round.
The strategy blackjack contenders find is that after this they
start betting lower and other bet horrendous amounts to try and
catch up. But, what ends up happening is the players lose more
and even if the blackjack leader has all of a sudden taken a
slump he still is not losing as much, perhaps even 100 chips –
the bare minimum.
When you have such a huge blackjack lead you may be able to
cruise your way to the end of the round, but don’t be surprise
if harsh words from opponents become a regular routine.
There is one such strategy called the sabotage tactic, but in
the long run it does not prove profitable. Some of the more
discerning blackjack competitors know that this strategy will
end up hurting more than helping, but it’s a psychological trick
that will help you to do it right and win.
