A.P Blackjack

So I log into A.P today and what did I find WOOHOOOOOOOOO BJ as my heart started to race I thought back to all the "online" BJ I've played and well I clicked the "hide blackjack" tab in the menu and went to do my rounds in the ring.
So about 1/2 an hour later I decide to check it out. to my surprise I found that you only have to bet 0.10 so that made me very happy ,the first hand dealer got black jack then the next black jack again so I chuckled to myself "OK one last hand" and this is what happened

I split it 4 times and won 4/5 now thats a crazy hand!

I love playing BJ in the casino but I just dont think any online BJ is on the up and up.

if you ever come across online blackjack ......Run.......You have more of a chance winning big at a casino

online BJ is an easy way of getting good money - just need to understand bonuses. The black jack tourneys on global are also pretty good fun - Some of the opponents are pretty clever others less so.

I probably have an ev of 30+$ per hour at the BJ tables sometimes I get much more sometimes much less but thats the ev.

There are blackjack tourneys? WTF , I thought blackjack was a one man game> I am seriously off on my times , please forgive me. Please explain to me how these BJ tourneys work

Let me just start by saying welcome back Joshy you have been well missed sir.....

As for AP great news I know....been on it for about 3-4weeks now, I like the 10c 3 hands in between my holdem games....!!!!

See ya' at the tables dude....!

3 forms of BJ tourney

1) normal blackjack but during set periods $$ to person with biggest win - these are best seen as NOT tourneys but a better time to play BJ than normal - if you are having a great day then start focusing on the tourney side if that gives you +ve EV - these are no fun to small stakes players though

2) You play against dealer BUT you get given play chips. You have say 1hour of play that you can stop and start during the tourney. Whoever has the most play chips wins. These are heavily slanted to top couple of prizes so you need to take loads of risks. Sometimes there are overlays (30% sometimes) so they are still worth a punt if you know basic strategy etc

3) tourneys proper - a sng would have 5 people at table e.g. all given play chips to play with. after say 15 hands whoever has most chips wins 2/3rds money and however is second wins 1/3rd. They can also work like MTT's as well (usually a little like double shootouts in poker) - online its only on global players that you can play this form but there are many people who play it in the real world and there is enough skill in it for there to be a number of blackjack tourney pros out there.

Ok , a bit confusing but i get the drift. I always think of tournies as a place with 50 people lol. Thanks For the info , Ill look into playing some of these BJ tournys in the near future

Scottishben, are there any pokersites where they have these BJ tournaments as you described under #3? I don't want to download casino software to play blackjack tournaments and one on one agaisnt the dealer I don't trust it. I still think they have a certain payout % like slot machines.

I have played one of those BJ tournaments in the local casino. Almost won but lost my last hand. Actually it wouldn't have mattered because I was first to act and bet too little. Still got third.

That's Poker

dont think any of the poker sites do it but global player is about as legit as you can get in terms of online BJ - they dont even shuffle after every hand in the normal BJ.

Its quite a small programe as you dont need to download the slots stuff (high on memory) -
