Basic Blackjack Strategy: Learning to Walk Before You Run

First thing's first. Even though I stated in my first post that I don't always follow basic blackjack strategy strictly, it is essential to know by heart as a guideline for playing. Basic blackjack strategy takes some amount of practice to memorize but after playing with it for a while it will become second nature. Please take a look at the table which lists the denominations of the player versus the dealer. I recommend printing this table out and taking it with you when you play. It's not illegal to follow the strategy and casinos won't mind you having a small piece of paper with you displaying the strategy when you are gambling at blackjack. In fact, most casinos provide these tables for their gamblers, however I highly recommend that you learn the table on my site as there are different tables made for different blackjack games with different rules. This strategy is the best one I know and what I always follow. It is for Blackjack with 4+ decks of cards where the dealer stands on all 17s.
