Importance of position in blackjack

2nd February 2009 by admin No Comments

 Like in Poker, position in blackjack is really important as the game’s planning and tactics hugely depend on the opponents’ acts rather than on favorable combination of cards alone. The fact is that the last player to act is in an advantageous position as compared to the other players. The final hand of a round makes the position even more important as the last player to act can make strategic planning to win at the final table.
Players use different tactics. Many blackjack players just try to calculate in mind the whereabouts of the dealer chip at the final table by controlling the quantity of the players at the table and counting position of the dealer button for each particular hand. Depending on such calculations, players may act differently if they know exactly that they will be last to act at the final table. Of course, all the calculations need to be re-made in case the opponents get eliminated from the game in mid-position.

Atlantic city blackjack
     – Atlantic City Blackjack is an American Hole card game. The Dealer checks for a Blackjack when he is dealt a 10 or an Ace. If the Dealer has a Blackjack, the game is over.
     – If you win with a Blackjack you are paid out at odds of 3:2 on your original bet. Blackjack always beats any other hand with a value of 21.
- You may draw up to nine additional cards to make a hand of eleven cards, provided the value of your hand does not exceed 21. If your hand does not exceeded 21 after receiving eleven cards, your hand automatically Stands, and the Dealer plays his hand.
- The Dealer Stands on a soft 17.  
     Betting and Payout Rules
- If the Dealer’s hand exceeds 21, it is bust, and you automatically win.
- If you are dealt an Ace and a card with a value of 10, you have Blackjack. Your hand automatically Stands. Your hand cannot be beaten, only matched. If you beat the Dealer with Blackjack you are paid out at odds of 3:2.
- When your hand and the Dealer’s hand tie, it is called a Push. Your original bet amount is returned to you.
- If both the Dealer and your hand have Blackjack, this is considered a Push. Your original bet amount is returned to you.
- If the Dealer gets Blackjack after you have Split or Doubled Down, your entire bet – both the original and Double Down or Split amounts, are lost.  Splitting Rules You can Split two cards that have the same Denomination or Value, such as a Queen and a Ten, or two Fours. Your hand is divided into two separate hands and a bet equal to your original bet is placed on the second hand. If you Split a pair of Aces and then draw a card with a value of 10, this is not Blackjack, although it has a value of 21. Note: This rule also applies to splitting pairs of cards with a value of 10. You can Split a maximum number of 3 times per game, equaling 4 hands. Note: This rule excludes Aces. Aces are only Split once. If you Split a pair of Aces, each Ace is dealt one card, and the hand automatically Stands.     Double Down Rules You can Double Down after receiving your first two cards. The Double Down bet is equal to your original bet amount. You can Double Down after a Split. You cannot Double Down if you have a Blackjack.   Insurance Rules You can take Insurance if the Dealer’s first card is an Ace. The Insurance bet is equal to half your original bet amount. Insurance bet wins or losses are independent from your original bet. Insurance only covers your original hand. It does not cover any second hands on a Split, or a Double Down bet. If the Dealer does not have a Blackjack, the Insurance bet is removed from the table, and the cost of the Insurance bet is deducted from your credit balance. The game continues. If the dealer has Blackjack, the Insurance bet is paid out at odds of 2:1.
