Blackjack -­ Decks and Player Positions

Today, we're going to take a look at a couple key components to the game of Blackjack in the casino-decks and player positions.

Decks

Blackjack can be played with any number of decks. As the number of decks increase, the game becomes better for the house (casino). In the old days, the game was single-deck Blackjack. Eventually, casinos figured out that they could improve their odds by adding one more deck.

Today, single-deck Blackjack in the real world can be hard to find-unless you want to play $25+ per hand. Usually, the lower limit tables (under $25 per hand) are multi-deck games. Most of those use 4,6 or 8 decks.

Don't be fooled by online casinos. Yes, they may use a single deck, but the deck is shuffled after each hand (unless specified). This isn't the same as a single-deck game in the real world, because those games aren't shuffled after each hand. It makes a difference. Real world single deck games are better for you.

That's not to say that you shouldn't play Blackjack online. Just be aware of the differences. For instance, since the online casinos shuffle after each hand, counting cards is of no use to you.

Player Positioning

If you're playing Blackjack by yourself, this section won't matter. But, if you're playing with others, it pays to know the order of play.

The order of play starts with the player position to the left of the dealer. This position is known as first base. The order of play continues in a clockwise direction. The last player position to play is to the immediate right of the deal. This position is known as third base and it's a coveted position to be in.

If you're walking up to a table and you're newer to Blackjack, don't sit in the third base position. If you make a playing mistake, the rest of the table might suffer and they'll be mad at you. However, if you're an experienced Blackjack player, the third base position is one that you'll most likely want.

Some players are superstitious and will only sit in certain spots. In reality, it's all luck of the draw. The only true constant is that a poor player sitting at third base can wreck a table. For instance, the dealer might have a 6 showing and the poor player hits on 15, gets a face card and busts. The dealer then turns over a face card, gets a 3 and stands on 19-perhaps wiping everyone out.

If you're that player and that situation happens, you'll cease to have fun. Players will be staring you down and you won't enjoy your "fun" time. Newer players might want to sit at first base if possible. This is the first position to act each hand and it's right next to the dealer. It's a great spot if you think you'll need some playing assistance.
