    It still comes down to something very simple. Get lucky, and hope the dealer doesn't. A-10 is the easiest hand to play when the dealer doesn't have it at the same time. You can count and study charts till you are blue in the face. You can have complicated betting strategies. Nothing beats dumb luck! So just find a way to get lucky! When you do get lucky, don't think you are the world's best blackjack player. When you aren't lucky, don't think you are the world's worst blackjack player, just next to the worst.

    I'm certain blackjack players everywhere needed to hear that! But isn't Snyder's You Won't Win, even more apposite to the subject matter?
