    Have you played in quite a few blackjack tournaments?


    There are always some real good players in the 5dimes tournaments. It is all about bet sizing over the last few hands. I have seen players double down on blackjack if the they are behind at the time.

    Also, you will want to split 10's or any 20 MANY times versus a dealer 4-6. I play in some live blackjack tournaments, and the strategy is totally different than normal strategy. Well unless you hit an incredible run and win like 20 hands in a row

    OK then you know what to expect.


    Depending on where I am at in terms of the lead, I usually split 20's most times versus the 4-6. And if I am behind, I will split versus the 7 or 8 as well

    I won a free seat to the $275 buy in for blackjack bowl VI this Wed 10:40 pm, but on Bookmaker. I assume the Bookmaker & 5Dimes tournies are integrated with same:software, date, time, buy-in fee.

    21k guaranteed...... In case we cross paths, my username is waves. Currently there's 33 registered, but last big tourny had about 75 with many people registering last minute.
