And why not explore how a blackjack tournament is run and played? ;). Unless you already know!

Blackjack over slot always.
Why is that? It would be interesting to hear some insights.

Because blackjack has better odds and skill matters, while slots are pure luck with worse payouts. :)

That's totally right, at least in Blackjack we have some room to navigate.
Thank you for the reply.

Blackjack tournament 100%.

Slots tourney is pure variance RNG - you just hit spin and pray. Zero skill edge, you can't outplay anyone.

Blackjack tourney you can use basic strategy, count the chips, adjust aggression based on leaderboard. There's actual decision making. Even if my friend pays, I still want to compete, not just donate.

Plus if I bink it, I can buy him into my next poker tourney. Slots won't teach me anything for poker. Blackjack ICM and pressure spots translate.

Easy choice.

We're talking about a real Blackjack tournament. Real table, real dealer, real people ;).

Can you be patient enough to rail a friend from the start and throughout the tournament?
cool that there's a casino that will shut down their blackjack tables to hold a tourney ;)
It would be tough railing a long tourney unless I had a financial incentive, but unless I brought someone
I wouldn't need them roaming the casino either 😊

There we go Varela, now you gave us the whole deal.

I love this part: "Blackjack tourney you can use basic strategy, count the chips, adjust aggression based on leaderboard"

Well, nothing wrong with that if you just want to have fun and don't care about money that much. After all, it didn't cost you anything.

You talk me up so they won't pay attention to you, but I know you didn't join for a while, while you got way better,
you take some school or something? Admit it now ;)

I'm getting way worse as IDGAF anymore since our version of Black Friday happened, all I'm playing nowadays is the Mon, Tue, and Wed games at Replay, that's if I could be bothered getting outta bed, and now with winter coming it will most likely be more common that I say fck it, bed is nice and warm.

Nowadays I'll stack off with TPVGK knowing I'm up against Aces in the hope of hitting a lucky river like other players always do, CC games are not what they used to be. There will be days that I feel like playing, so no loose calls on those days.

No school for me, I'm an old dog. what will I learn. :p

Well, I understand not getting out of bed to play; I wouldn't want to. But I think you still cash more than me lol,
Just the top 4 get paid these days. IDGAF helps here, and you seem to have improved, trying to get more of it myself.
