Blackjack

my friends got a table for Christmas. It's such a blast. Anyone else like to play?

The first time I played it at a casino, I went down $40 after 2 hours. That sucked. I've been practicing on the computer counting cards and such, but I still can't beat the odds. I don't like this game when it comes to money .

we just played with chips. I don't think that I would start playing for money, because it was addicting just playing with the chips.

Blackjack is a good game. It is one of the few where you actually have a chance to take the house, if you are good.

I am okay at it. Living so close to Reno, I have played a few times for money. My net losses are about $40, but hey, that is the cost of entertainment. I've had a lot of fun for that $40.

I would love to get a poker set (chips and all) and start playing with friends for fun. The problem is, I do not have many friends around here. There is nobody to play with.

Oh, and the real money is in Texas Hold 'Em.

Blackjack... is a card game played by two or more players who bet on the value of their hand...

I always thought it was a form of poker. *shrug*

I know it was.

I do not hold blackjack on the same level as 5 card stud or Texas Hold Em, but I honestly always thought it was a form of poker, if not a poker derivative.

Translation for all the confused.

"yah i like too" Meaning "Yes, I like to play blackjack"

"youre not very good" Meaning "You're not very good at playing blackjack."

"and marks tables pretty sick." Meaning "Mark's table is pretty sick (I.E. cool)."

Apparently the owner of the table is named Mark.
