So I finally stepped up to the live blackjack table with a thick $10k bankroll and wow… what a rush! 🎰 If you’re starting big: stick to two-hand play max, and keep your emotions in check—the swings come FAST. Pair splitting and doubling are way more intense with 4-figures riding on it. Also, dealers remember high rollers, so stay respectful 🙌 Pro tip: use scheduled breaks, it’ll keep your focus sharp. Gotta say—betting hundreds per hand definitely changes how the game feels… both thrilling and intense at the same time!
