At the time I attempted to qualify, the 23rd position was sitting on $3,100 in chips. The hard part of this tournament however was that to qualify, you had to be in the top 23 in winnings for one round for all qualifying rounds. Minimum bet was $25 and maximum was $250 up until the final hand and at that point, it was unlimited I believe. I've played in only one Blackjack tournament and you pretty much toss everything you know as a cash player Not really, but it sure is different! Even among the experienced players, strategy is not cut and dried.especially when it comes to the amount to bet!įolks, if you haven't watched tournament Blackjack, you should! It's a whole nuther world! There is a sister forum to this one that is devoted to tournament Blackjack and the information there is just mind boggling! It should be interesting to see how 'in a nut shell' this question is fielded. They couldn't understand why strategy deviated so much from standard Basic Strategy, especially toward the end of the tournament round. In essence, it is a question from a person who was watching World Series of BJ. There is an interesting 'Question of the Day' to be answered tomorrow on the Las Vegas Advisor forum.
