TOURNAMENT STRATEGY:

SAVE SOME CRUMBS

I’ve talked about splitting your bankroll for the final hand several times in this column, and in particular I’ve pointed out reasons why it is sometimes not a good idea. In this month’s column, I’ll describe a new twist on that strategy. So, read on to see what I’m talking about when I say "Save some crumbs."

I learned this trick while watching the premiere episode of GSN’s World Series of Blackjack. The first show of this season featured one of the most interesting and exciting rounds I’ve seen, with a fascinating final hand shootout between Joe Pane, Dave Stann and Kevin Blackwood. There’s a lot to learn by studying the final hand, and if you are interested, there are two outstanding threads at BlackjackTournaments.com that discuss this hand in detail. Look for the threads "Week One, World Series of Blackjack 2", and "Is it true?".
