Now i know that the game is not new, hasn't been hidden in a dark corner of the far away lands or even been altered in terms of how it is played but the simple fact is that with my love for poker being as strong as what it is, i began to fall into a sheltered vision when i came to gambling, all i wanted to play was poker.
Whether that was down the the fact that i have a good success rate at the poker tables or whether i have never really given much thought to just sitting at a chair and facing off against the dealer alone, i have always enjoyed the competition of challenging more than one opponenet.
Well as any of you who have ever been on a ferry overnight will know, the casinos on the ship don't tend to have poker games available and this ferry only had Blackjack and Roulette tables in operation so decided to follow the crowd and join the Blackjack table.
Adopting the stick above 17 tactic when the dealer was showing a low card, i quickly realised that the success to Blackjack was not completely in your hands if you were not the first player to act, other players were unknowingly influencing the outcome of your hands.
Well that is something that i can really get my head around and at the time of closing the table, i found myself up £230, not a bad nights work for someone that wasn't really interested in Blackjack at the time of bording the ship.
Now the winning has sunk in and i have worked out the small amount of work that i really did during the game, i know that i will now look for the best online casino that i can find in order to fuel my new found Blackjack obsession.
Not quite as big as my poker one for the moment but i will be playing online blackjack much more than i was before the trip and hopefully i will have an even better time at the tables than on the ferry!
Any suggestions for where to play? Let me know!
