Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Card counting mentally
Card counting mentally is legal and is not considered cheating.However, it usually needs to be done discreetly; if a player is detected while counting, the casino may inform them that they are no longer welcome to play blackjack there, or they may be completely banned from the property.
The use of any external devices
The use of any external devices to assist with counting cards is illegal in all US states that license blackjack card games.
