There are exactly 3 reasons for playing BJ:

1) You're REALLY good at counting, and you've found a game that's close enough that counting tips the odds in your favor

2) For fun

3) Casino-Whoring

I choose #2 occasionally, but I know it's a long-term net loss, so I just keep reminding myself: it's strictly for fun.

I've tried counting before, but it seems to eliminate all the fun, and it's probably easier to make money at poker anyway.

Number 1 & 3 are the only good reasons to play BJ. And number 3 is a lot less work. But if done correctly has none of the benefits of #2 until you are counting your profits.
