There is a BJ tournament at the end of next month in Vegas, baby.

The CET tournaments are particularly poor.

A waste of time, except for the (true) math whizzes among us.

I had three years of Math and Physics in college. Anyway I'll check the rules. ZMF, have you played them before?

"ZMF, have you played them before?"

Yes I certainly have. I cashed for $2,500 once, just once,

but that was at Foxwoods, when they were a personal A.T.M.

Stanford Wong's Book on tournament play is required reading.

For those still confused - tournament play may include Doubling a hard 16,
Splitting 4's vs a Deuce. Doubling on a BJ, Doubling for (much much) less -
in order to gain a face-down card, with almost any hand. etc. etc. etc.

BTW at my local store I have won their BJ Touney twice.

I am going to get Wong's book. Probably right now.

How many have you played?

I'm curious how similar you play to Wong's strategy.

I recall most of it being common sense for those who think logically, you may be surprised how similar your play is.

[BigJer]

How many have you played?

About eight or nine.

I'm curious how similar you play to Wong's strategy.

I don't even know what it is. I read a little bit of what Ken Smith has online.

I believe it. One time I knew players were over betting their BR so I sat back and waited for them to crash: actually I picked up the betting around half way through.

I once had to double on a hard 19 in a tournament.
