Re: Blackjack Tournament Questions
An example of tournament strategy. Say you are in the lead, and another player has to win and you lose in order to take the lead. You have a stiff hand against a dealer's ten that basic strategy says to hit. Stand. Now the other player has to take a chance of busting to beat the dealer. Even if the other player doesn't bust and wins, if the dealer busts, you still have the lead.
Similar to having AA when on the bubble with some short stacked players in a tourney. Fold.
The point being, you don't want to stick to a "strategy". Basic strategy to play a hand, or a martingale betting strategy, or anything like that. In a tournament, and especially in blackjack tourny, the way you play your hand and you bet amounts is all dictated by the size of the other players stacks and their actions.
