Introduction to Blackjack Strategy (Cont.)
If you twisted my arm, to insist on the order of importance of the Big Four in blackjack gambling, I would have to Put money management in the lead off spot. Discipline would come in second and bankroll would take the third position. I realize that has knowledge bringing up the rear, but it doesn't give you the green light to ignore it.
Here is my Basic Blackjack Strategy Chart, which I suggest you start memorizing as soon as possible. Even if you disagree with 3 or 4 changes, at least get to see which way I am leaning in certain situations.
