Card games

Play Blackjack Like the Pros is the requisite introduction to the modern game of blackjack, including high and low stakes casino, shoe games (several decks shuffled together), online, and tournaments. Kevin Blackwood begins with the basic rules of play and then moves on to teach his proven card-counting method, broken-down into three levels: novice, recreational, and professional. He also covers camouflaging techniques (it’s perfectly legal to count-cards, but if the house catches you they will kick you out), money management, and team play.

Kevin Blackwood includes many stories of his and other professionals triumphs at the tables and keeps the highly technical language that bogs down most gaming books to an absolute minimum.

Play Blackjack Like the Pros is written in the style of Phil Hellmuth’s bestseller Play Poker Like the Pros using easy-to-understand lessons that all levels of players can quickly benefit from.
