Why is that bad for you? People who like both poker and BJ want to have it all on one site. I don't play BJ, but it doesn't bother me that a site has it.

[/ QUOTE ]If I owned one of the big online poker rooms I would deffinitly add BJ, that and every other casino game. But as a player, yes it is a little anoying, but you can always delete all the BJ stuff. The bad thing for us is when fish lose their money playing BJ instead of playing poker. But looking at it from the companys view you would be pretty stupid not to add BJ

The traditional view is that BJ tables are bad because fish lose their money to the house instead of us good players.

IMO Blackjack is reponsible for many good players (many 2+2ers dare I say) going busto, and it leaves all the fish for me & me alone.

Right - because, before, those sites were all about giving people opportunities to play great poker and to enrich their minds. I mean, jeez - wake up, man. Every other hand in a Pokerstars tournament is A(x) v. A (x-1).

I support it, for the simple reason that i'd rather take someones money who's clearly interested in the game we're playing.

I think blackjack filters out the degenerate gamblers, who have families to feed but choose to risk their rent.

(please, let me keep my illusion)

Now that is funny. True is a very small site. Currently 619 players logged into the Real Money/Play money combo server on there.

I agree 100% with the perspective that BJ takes money away from fish, which in turn takes it away from me. I hate it.

Some of those blackjack players will have bad days and migrate their way over to play poker even if they really aren't poker players. It can work both ways. I think the more options (games available) a site has, the bigger its player base can be which ultimately is a good thing.
