At www.AOL.com > games > casino there are some really good games. There are BlackJack and Poker tournaments. I do not play poker, but I do play a lot of BlackJack. On AOL Games there are three versions of BlackJack. And if you click on the serious one, it will lead you to about 40 tables. You can click on single player, multiple player, or tournament play. There is a free BlackJack tournament everyday at 7 pm Alberta, Canada time (Las Vegas?? time). Otherwise you can play for fun in one of the 40+ rooms. If you click on the large multiplayer picture then you will be taken to six+ tables where you can play alone or at one of five+ tables with other players. On the previous screen where you are given the choice of single player, multiplayer or tournament play, there is a small <play in rooms> box that is almost un-noticeable where you can click and go to about 30+ rooms where you have a choice of low stakes, medium, or high stakes play. You must start in the low stakes room and when you have enough money you can go to the medium or high stakes rooms where you can bet big (as high as $20,000). Some of the players in the high stakes rooms have $300,000 dollars up to over a $1,000,000 in PLAY money. In the one daily BlackJack tournament I am usually ranked in the top 20% of the 200 people who play there almost everyday. You will see me there. Bye.
There is a website run by a guy who had a 25 year career as a gambler and he has BlackJack advice. www.BlackJackInfo.com and it has BlackJack strategy and a game you can play. Should you hit on a 16 against a dealer 10. Either surrender or hit. There are 9 ways the dealer can get in the 17 to 21 zone. You 13 -- 14 --15 -- 16 Dealer 10 plus one of the following: Ace 7 8 9 10 Jack Queen King or two low cards totaling 7 to 11.
At www.games.com they have a BlackJack tournament using play money and live players. Depending on which time zone you are in, it is the same time every day. In my time zone it is 7 pm and I think they have one a 1 pm. You start with $5000 and you can bet $100 to $2500. You play 30 hands of BJ and play 4 rounds of BJ. Results are saved for 30 days.

Online Tourneys for US Players Does anyone know where to play real money online blackjack tournaments, elimination style, for usa players?
The only site I am aware of is clubWPT.com. The prizes are small but you can play as many tournaments as you want for a small monthly fee. If you can be bothered to send in a post card once a month, then you can play for free.
Thanks for the info Gronbog, that's about all I could find as well.... Would guess someone by now would have opened up 21gnet comparable to US players, but not the case.... Probably will have to wait for legalization of online casinos in specific US states then maybe we will can pass through filters on international sites..... Thanks Again!
There is www Megadollar com (intentionally missed the dots) for heads up blackjack (and sit`n go`s) for US players but the rake is very high I think: you bet $9.40 in a head to head game, and the winner gets $16. And the games are not very exciting: each player play 10 hands against the dealer and whoever finish with more chips is declared winner.
So each player plays 10 hands independently against the dealer? Do you get to see what is happening with the other player? If it is totally blind, depending on the aggressiveness of the other players, you might be able to beat the rake just by betting minimum.
Yes, each player gets 10 hands against the dealer, and they can not see each other at any point. Then the site announce only the winning player with how many points he won and also the name and final score of his opponent. But they do have two versions: one is called Monte Carlo Blackjack in which the players can bet max 1000 per hand (and 3000 per round - playing 3 hands at once) and a starting balance of 15000. (a neat looking version) And another version called MardiGras Blackjack in which the players start with 10000 chips and which do not have a maximum bet per hand, so the players can bet their entire balance at any time. But there is not a max bet button and the highest chip value is 1000 - so going all-in by accident is impossible. But this version do have a few flaws: the ace is always counting as a hard 11 (despite the rules which state 1 or 11 as normal) and at times your hand might simply disappear making you lose whatever you had bet in that round. - In this version a blackjack pays 2.5 to 1. But even if there is a 2 player game contest no one can choose his opponent, they simply take the games in order: first player gets to play 10 rounds, then the next player. Only the winner gets to know with who he played I think. There is no game protection, if you lose your internet connection (or if your webpage is refreshed for whatever reason) for a few seconds you forfeit the game without any chance to come back in. They offer Facebook log-in.
