Attunement is an important skill to have if you want to be a successful blackjack player. Blackjack is a game of chance, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’re likely to lose money.
Attunement means knowing how to read the cards and make the right decisions.
There are five slots in a standard deck of 52 cards. Each slot is represented by a different number, from 1 (the Ace) to 10 (the 10th card).
When you get dealt a hand of blackjack, you’ll want to pay close attention to the number in each slot.
Here’s what you need to know about each number:
1 – The Ace is the highest card in the deck, and it’s worth one point.
2 – The two (or two pair) is made up of a 2 and another card that totals between 2 and 10. For example, if you’re dealt a two pair, the 2 would be in slot 2 and the other card would be in slot 3 or 4. The total of the two cards in slot 2 would be 12 (2 + 10), so that would be counted as one point for your hand.
3 – The three of clubs is worth three points when it’s played as an individual card, but it can also count as part of a Straight or Three-of-a-Kind combination. For example, if someone has a three of clubs in their hand and they also have another club card (3 or 4), that three of clubs would count as part of the Straight (3 + club = 4).
4 – The four of spades counts as one point when it’s played as an individual card, but it can also count as part of a Four-of-a-Kind combination. For example, if someone has a four of spades in their hand and they also have another club card (2 or 3), that four of spades would count as part of the Four-of-a-Kind (4 + club = 5).
5 – The five of hearts counts as one point when played as an individual card, but it can also count as part of a Five-of-a-Kind combination. For example, if someone has a five of hearts in their hand and they also have another club card (1 or 2), that five of hearts would count as part of the Five-of-a-Kind (5 + club = 6).
