Playing blackjack on PokerStars can be a great way to enjoy the game and make some money at the same time. There are a few things you need to know to get started, but the basics are easy to learn.
First, you need to choose a table and size. You can play in any stakes, but the minimum bet is usually $0.
25. You can also choose between standard blackjack or Vegas rules, which is more like craps.
Second, you need to understand your hand. You have five cards, and each card has an important role in your strategy.
A high card (J, K, Q, A or 10) is worth more than a low card (2 through 9). Your goal is to make as close to 21 as possible without going over.
Next, decide how much you want to bet. Most players bet between one and three cards.
If you have a high card that’s worth more than a regular card, you may want to bet all five cards instead of just one or two.
Finally, draw your cards and make your decision. You can either hit or stand if your hand is good enough.
If you hit, the dealer presents another card and you continue playing until either you hit again or the dealer gives up (a hand with an Ace showing means that the dealer has given up). If you stand, you lose whatever money you bet plus any additional chips that have been added to the table since your last action.
