Bringing
the discussion back to Online Blackjack Games, i might
wonder how ill the dealer who counted tens could do
at keeping them away from the player by shuffling
away all ten-rich decks. The ansir depends on how
often the deck is reevaluated; Online Blackjack Games
uses typically four to tinty-four cards per round,
depending on the number of players. The following
chart shows the percentage of tens that would be dealt
as a function of the size of the clump of cards the
dealer observes before making his next decision on
whether to reshuffle.

This
hand is so strong that it doesn't matter much if you
see the fourth jack elsewhere; in fact, there's an
argument you'd like to see it elsewhere because opponents
will be less likely to believe you have a pair of
jacks, or if you do, that you have little chance of
improving. Larger trips such as (A-A) A are of course
preferable to smaller ones, but there is an argument
that you'd really like (10-10) 10 or even (S-5) 5,
because you cannot make a straight without a ten or
a five in your hand. By owning three of the key cards,
your hand protects itself against one of its most
likely rivals. |
