So you’re vibing at the table, drink in hand, feeling good. The chips are stacked, you’re humming a Dua Lipa remix, and BAM! You split your tens. 😵💫 Look, blackjack seems easy on the surface, but I see players mess it up every night. Whether you’re a rookie or one of those folks who “almost went pro,” these are the seven biggest mistakes I see people make, and how to avoid becoming that person.

1. Not knowing basic strategy. There’s a reason there’s a whole chart about it. Blackjack has a best move for every situation, and if you’re out here guessing, the house is loving you for it. Pro tip: Google “blackjack basic strategy chart” and actually study it. Bring a tiny one to the table if needed. No shame. We respect a prepared queen.
2. Standing on soft 17. A soft 17 (Ace + 6) is not a solid hand. It’s a squishy one. You’ve got room to grow. Don’t just stand there hoping for the best — hit that hand if the dealer’s showing strong. Trust the process. La matemática no muerde.
3. Splitting 10s. Why. Just… why. You already have 20, which is practically perfection. Splitting 10s is like trading a pair of designer shoes for two scratch-off tickets. Unless you’re doing it for TikTok content, don’t.
4. Touching the cards. If you’re playing on a face-up game, keep your hands off the cards. Not only is it against the rules, it makes security twitchy. Hands above the felt, corazón. You’re not playing Go Fish.
5. Blaming the dealer. I didn’t give you that 16. I didn’t force you to double down on an 8. I’m literally just flipping cards and vibing. Dealers aren’t out to get you — just tip us and we’ll root for you. Promise.
6. Not paying attention. “Wait, is it my turn?” Yes. It’s been your turn for three awkward seconds. The table is quiet. Everyone’s watching. Focus up. Blackjack is fast. If you snooze, you confuse.
7. Going all in on a “feeling” I get it. You’re feeling lucky. The music’s good, the vibes are high. But pushing all your chips in on a hunch is how Vegas pays for its fountains. Be smart. Bet steady. No drama-betting.

Final thoughts from your friendly neighborhood dealer… Blackjack is sexy, but she’s got rules. Study up, breathe, don’t yell at your dealer (especially if I’m the one in sequins), and enjoy the ride. If you’re nice, I might even teach you a thing or two at the table.
