When playing blackjack, there are two basic ways to count cards: basic counting and modified counting. The basic counting method is to take the number of cards in the hand and add it to the number of cards in the player’s current draw pile.
The modified counting method is to take the number of face-up cards in the hand and add it to the number of face-down cards in the player’s current draw pile. .
There are a few things to keep in mind when counting cards in blackjack. First, keep in mind that aces are worth one point each, 2s through 10s are worth their face value, and a jack or queen is worth 10 points. Second, keep in mind that aces can be counted as either high or low. If an ace is counted as a high card, then it would be added to the total number of cards in the hand; if an ace is counted as a low card, then it would be added to the total number of face-down cards in the draw pile.
Finally, remember that any card that is not counted as part of either hand (e.g., a face-up wildcard) is considered to be an extra card and can be used to improve your hand.
When it comes time to count cards, there are four main options: left-handed players can use the right side of their brain while right-handed players can use the left side of their brain; players can count using both hands simultaneously; players can count using one hand while they shuffle their remaining deck; or players can count using only their eyes.
