BlackJack

"Common in and take a seat. Here's your chips." Kapptie said as I took the handful of chips and sat down completely confused. Everyone gathered around the table after they placed their backpacks on the other side of the room. I kept wondering what was going on but again no one knew.
"Today we are going to play blackjack. If you know the rules great and if you don't, oh well." Mr. Kapptie smiled and for a second I thought that he was kidding, but by the end I found out that he was completely serious. For the first round I sat out. I didn't know the rules of the game and there was no way that I was going to just 'wing' it. As I sat out I watched, and yet still didn't understand. I played the first game and lost because I went over 21. After I began to think lower numbers are better I started to win. I never went 'all in' because I was still completely unsure of how to play the game. I knew we had to play four hands to even be considered in the winning circle so after I played my four I went out. Although I only hand 11 chips, and didn't think I was going to win I still went out because everyone with the high number of chips went 'all in'. I thought, well there is still a chance that I could win, but I want to play it safe. After they played that hand we had no time left and even though I didn't win that's just fine with me. It taught me a couple things about stock, and that's all that really matters. :)
