Default Re: Holdem Blackjack

The strategy is to hope to find a real aggressive/drunken idiot that will bet max with hidden 10s, reraise with 20 (or less!!!) and call down your reraises when you draw 21.

Thats all - the spread limit structure makes it logical to pretty much draw with anything thus ensuring lots of players reraising each other when they draw 21. It only generally attracts tight players who are hoping to get lucky cards as they are waiting for the odd donkey as mentioned above.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are possible strategies out there but the spread limit structure really seems to distil it into nothing short of a sideshow game. If the creators were serious about it as a poker game then its obvious Limit/PL/NL would provide far more game to it.

It's a rake spinner for whatever site is running it.
