Black Jack

When coming into free enterprise on Wednesday I was handed twelve poker chips. I new immediately that we were going to be gambling. I wasn't quite sure whether we were going to be playing black jack or texas hold em' but I knew we were going to play one or the other. I waited for the instruction from Mr. Kappitie. He said that we would be playing a card game in which you want your card value to equal 21. I knew that this meant we were playing black jack. I new the rules of black jack fairly well. Everyone verses the dealer. If the dealer gets twenty one we loose it all. If not we have a chance to win. Mr Kappitie said he was playing soft 17, meaning that if his card value was less than 17 he had to hit which helps increase the chance that he will bust if he has to hit. In black jack you can only make a guess as to what cards are on the table. You can be close but you should never risk it all on a guess. Betting small in my mind is generally the way to go because even if you bet one chip and you push or win every one of your four hands you are still going to come out even or making money. You don't want to loose money so play smart so you can win. I broke even after the six hands I played. In poker that's not bad. Many people think you win some you loose some but why loose?
