He's you notice that some blackjack got different type of counting. Like ace how can you count it? Some count it as 1 and some 11. But its all depends on what kind of blackjack you are playing. So you better be careful on picking right variation for you.

blackjack has definitely numerous variations and it's no surprise because it is the most played card games at casinos. most important thing to do is to look at the odds or house edge before picking the type of blackjack that you're going to play to.

I've heard about the spanish version of blackjack, although I've never tried it. black jack is relatively easy to play though.

Either. IT depends if it is a hard hand or a soft hand.

for hard ace counts as a 1 and for soft ace is 11. also depends on the combos of the suites you end up with.

In blackjack isn't it your choice of 1 or 11 if it is an Ace?

The objective of the game is to get 21 or as close to it without busting or going over 21. So if you count 2 aces as 11 then that is a bust, 11 + 11 = 22. Even if you treat one ace as 1, the total value is still low, 1 + 11 = 12.

You can also split the cards. It is usually a good strategy to split when you have 2 of a kind. Experienced blackjack players do this a lot.
