Hi there everybody how?s it going? I was propping up the bar a few months ago in a Blackjack Tournament when I got talking to one of the local players. Anyway, I?d never dismiss anyone?s advice; good or bad, but he advised me to get into tournament play as soon as possible.
In his drunken rambling he said that the best start a counter could get was to get ?out there under the pressure? and try my best in a tournament. He went on to say that it?s the best practice you could possibly get, especially when you think you?re ready for the casino.
I think I can see where he?s coming from; there may be drunken people shouting at you and all eyes may be on your play. From a financial perspective it seems the better option, I rather lose the entry fee that my bankroll.

How many of you have started with Tournaments to then move to the tables at a later date?

Happy New Year.

Little Ben.
