Oklahoma Blackjack and Black Jack Games with an Ante

Friday, September 21st, 2007

The closest casinos offering blackjack to where I live are in Oklahoma, and they offer a weird version of blackjack that charges a 50 cent ante per hand. I don’t know what the limits are there, or the rules, but I’m pretty sure that even at $100/hand, a 50 cent ante is going to reduce my expectation by 0.5%, and at $10/hand, it’s going to reduce my expectation by a whopping 5%. I’d be better off playing roulette with that kind of handicap to deal with.

And from what I read, all of the casinos offering black jack in Oklahoma have a similar rule, with the fee per hand or whatever, even the Winstar Casino, which is the closest place I could play blackjack.

So anyway, since I’m so far from Vegas or Reno or anyplace else where I might find a decent blackjack game with decent rules, I’ve decided to just try playing a little blackjack online and see how I do. I’ll record my experiences here, with wins and losses and stuff like that. I’m a decent basic strategy player, although I sometimes have some trouble with some of the soft hands, especially when the dealer has a 2 through 6 showing. I’m hoping that some practice will help solve that problem though.
