Play to Win

This book presents Ken Einiger's philosophy and strategy for blackjack tournaments. The author is well-versed in the field as he has vast tournament experience and is a former World Series of Blackjack champion. As Ken points out, in BJ tournaments one is playing against the other players and not against the house/dealer; accordingly, many times one is forced to make a play not normally made in a regular blackjack game (i.e., double down on a blackjack). Ken not only provides his basic principles for playing tournaments but also discusses the play-by-play and strategy he used during several rounds of the World Series of Blackjack. As a BJ tournament player myself, I found the book very instructive and illuminating. This is a good primer for anyone considering playing in tournaments.

Good, helpful information.

Interesting read, good condition,

In this book Ken Eineger gives beginners a good solid understanding of blackjack tournaments. Experienced players will enjoy the many stories, specific hand analyses and wealth of anecdotes.The book is surprisingly well-written (not always the case when it comes to gambling books). Some parts read like a novel. The technical sections are clearly explained.I enjoyed reading it and will read it again.

Was a little hard to understand but helpful. I guess if you really want to understand it, you will need to know cards well and maybe read it several times.

Didn’t care for the book. Nothing wrong with the order... it just wasn’t for me.

Met expectations.

Good infos. Its a must to read.

A great guide and some great helpful info that was put to good use in some Vegas tournaments. It gave me the insight I needed.
