Online Blackjack Strategy - Patience
Post Info Friday, January 23rd, 2009 Print Print this page

Have you ever had one of those evenings where you are playing online blackjack and you just keep getting marginal hands?

I had one of those evenings the other night, where all my cards just kept on turning up marginal.  Damn it was irritating… know the feeling?

Now the most important thing to do in blackjack, and that doesn’t matter whether you are playing online blackjack or you are down at the real casino, trying to look cool at the blackjack table - you have to remain patient.

But its so difficult because all you want to do is chance it and go for the big one, or twenty one, rather…

You can do the card counting, cover yourself with insurance and have all the online blackjack tools ready and open to use - but if you are not patient you are going to lose all your money.  And there is usually only one winner in that situation and it is the online casino or the live casino.

Remember that luck has a huge part to play also, sure you can try card counting to reduce the element of luck, but sometimes lady luck falls your way and sometimes lady luck just goes some place else…

Some nights you just keep on getting those tens and the royal family is kind enough to make an appearance.  Then other times you sit with a pile of rubbish trying to sift through and make the best of it.

Be patient when things are not going your way.  Because remember luck always changes and you will start getting some cards eventually.

I kept getting the marginal teens, whilst playing blackjack online at my favorite online blackjack site, but I got impatient, chanced my luck and asked for another - wham bam bust every time!  All I saw was my chip level getting lower and lower.

My best online blackjack strategy tip for you today is to be patient when it aint going well.  Remember that the others will have their turn also.  We often think we are the only ones getting a bad deal in life, well everyone gets it bad from time to time - its how we deal with the hard times that count - be patient!

    Good advice Don. Sure you have to be patient, but you gotta know your blackjack odds real good too.

    I totally agree. After lots of lessons costing me thousands of dollars (that I lost), I’m starting to win some of it back now and I feel that the most important thing isn’t about winning money. It’s about knowing how not to lose them (by going on tilt, not willing to stop even though ur mental state is in a mess, or lady luck isn’t by your side. You can win 5 nights in a row but all it takes is one night to destroy your bankroll.
