Blackjack Strategies


Surender

 Math people will tell you that it is illogical to give up that 50 percent penalty. They claim that over a period of 100 hands or 1,000 hands or 10,000 hands, you will save money by merely playing the hands out. I don't imagine most people will get this situation 1,000 times in a lifetime, but that explanation rolls through the heads of dissenters.

My theory, and I pound this message out over and over, is that I wanna know what my best chances of saving losses are at the exact precise fraction of an instant that the situation rears its ugly head. If I am sitting at a table and get a hard 16 vs. the dealer's power card, my decision is based on that moment in time.

I can't give you the percentage of how often I have done this over the years nor can I give you even a hint of how many times it will appear again until I am called to that red hot seat at the blackjack tables in the place designated for my trip through eternity I am more than comfortable with the move of surrendering my rotten hands when they are confronting dealer's power card.

To further irritate the nonbelievers and to give you intelligent listeners a better handle on this move, here is a list of what hands you should surrender:

1. Hard 4, 5, 6, 7, vs. the dealer's 9 through Ace
2. Hard 14, 15, 16 vs. the dealer's 9 through Ace
3. Hard 17, yes!! hard 17, vs. the dealer's 9 through Ace

Number 3 gets its own full chapter of explanation next. For those of you who don't like it, don't read it. But a logical (Little Three) breakdown will be in place and you will come over to this intelligent move of genius.

I strongly advise your giving surrender a second, third, and even fourth and fifth look.
Heck, some of you guys are already on your second, third, and even fourth and fifth marriages. You keep checking that situation out until you get it right.

Do the same with this type of surrender keep checking it out until you get it right.
