Doo doop do Doo.. On the first ring Litigator slid his avatar on his I-Phone 5s closed. He was ready to face the day. He arose as his wife merely groaned and rolled over. Good, now he could begin preparing the pancakes for his two beautiful children, Belle and Johnny. He had a special surprise for the wife as well, she was unaware of the gallon bag of fresh blueberries he had been gifted from a client the day before. He went to the kitchen to lay the batter out and to prepare the cereal bowls for the elders when he noticed a flash of light out of the window. A frown creased his ever-smiling lips. What could this be he wondered? Maybe it's.... ALL TURNED BLACK FROM THE NUCLEAR EXPLOSION BROUGHT UPON BY MAN'S EGO.

"Rats!!!! We're going to have to eat these blueberry pancakes in a nuclear fall-out shelter now! And I'm not sure there's going to be enough to share with the other refugees!", Litigator thought to himself..............as he watched his neighbor's mailbox melt through the kitchen window.....

Also: It didn't pay off a single time, but I hit 16 with dealer showing an Ace at least 5 times.

#1. Hit to 17
#2. Stand
#3. Hit to 17

The sign of a real player is somebody who hits a hard 16....you'll get more cards 5 and lower than you'd expect. In example 3 an A is dangerous because its versatile...so you need to hit for a better hand.

Also, it doesn't matter what other players do....the next card is random so there's just as much chance it'll help you as hurt you.

You make your money with progressive betting and hitting your splits and double downs.

Edit: I wrote above without reading the thread so it didn't influence my answer.
