Hello,

I just purchased Chronicles of Playing 4 Keeps but I thought I would ask you if you know where I can purchased Blackjack Flash cards to use for learning basic strategy?

Thanks, Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey,

I have never seen flash cards for basic strategy.

If you have a deck of cards, you have the tool for training basic strategy.

First you need to memorize the plays referring to a basic strategy. You will need a chart or card.

Then, with your deck of cards, place one card up to represent the dealer’s up card.

Next, deal out 4-6 hands. Play each hand. That is to say, for each hand, make the correct basic strategy decision. Use the chart when you are in doubt or don’t know. Push yourself for speed to help the brain lock in the correct play. In this way you develop automatic play, preparing you for a live game. Your goal is to make the right decisions 100% of the time. This allows you to focus on the energy of the game, the count, and betting. Playing basic strategy needs to be like answering with your home address, when asked.

More about practice drills, learning basic strategy and card counting are contained in my blackjack book, Blackjack for Winners™.  Playbook
