You generally play basic strategy as you normally would, but you also have to adjust your betting and decisions depending on where you are compared to the other players. That might mean taking extra risks (like splitting 10s against a 5 or 6) when you're behind and easing up if you're ahead. |

Tournaments you actually benefit to split your 10s.

and in tournaments, there might be situations where you'll need to double on 14 or something. Not much choice if you're way behind with a few hands left to play.

And someone can definitely win a tournament without counting. And if they are playing from a 6-8 deck shoe, which they probably are, counting becomes nearly worthless unless you're really advanced. And in a tournament, if you are counting and good at it, it would make even more sense to deviate a bit from strict basic strategy. |

I can, the OP said he can't. I gave a basic for counting that he could learn quickly. I think he really needs to use it.

You have take risks when they are strategically appropriate against the house and the players. For instance, Rabbi said split 10's sometimes. If you split 10's against a dealer up card of 5, and the count is -, then there is a solid chance the dealer doesn't bust and a solid chance you give yourself two sub-17's. So, if you're going to make this relatively stupid play because it's a last ditch effort, do it when you can also double-down (especially if you end up with a 12 on one of your splits). |
