I want to learn how to play Blackjack to give me the best odds of winning at
a real brick & mortar casino. To develop these skills I'm looking for a
Blackjack game that monitors my playing and warns if I didn't double down,
split, hold or hit to my best advantage. I've downloaded a bunch but
nothing does what I'm looking for. Graphics and all the bells and whistles
are not important, I really just want to hone my real time skills. Any
ideas? Thanks.

Hit on 18-20, to watch how the pit bosses respond. I've had a few nights
where I found it worth wasting the money just to set off their responses.
I like the way they carefully use their peripheral vision, do special
signals, and in general have such a tough, forbidding look. Provoking
their red-flag alerts, it's like making the characters from an old B&W
gangster movie come to life....

Just don't do this at a table with others there, especially if someone
has a good run happening, it's likely you'll be asked to leave by the
other players.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. The strategy is a bit more complex than that but thank
you, Moe, Larry and Curly for your input.

I know but it's basic enough that a tutorial would be difficult to make
worth while.
If the dealer shows 6 or less, stick on anything over 11. If the dealer
shows a 7 or higher, hit a 16 or less. Always split aces and 8's, and
never spit a winning hand, 18 or more. Always double down on 9, 10 or 11
if the dealer shows a 6 or less. These are the basics but you'll need to
adjust the bets according to how you are doing. If you're winning,
always double down when you should, otherwise, if you're losing a lot,
wait until you have a better win ratio to bet more. The main thing is to
realize that although there is no logic in this, the cards run good and
bad. You need to recognize when there's a good run and cpaitalize on it,
and bet small and wait for things to turn when it gets bad. Even the
best gamblers in the world have days or even weeks when they lose large
amounts of cash, that is why it remains a gamble. Remember the odds are
always in the favor of the house. And NEVER, under any circumstances,
get caught cheating. In Vegas this can get you a free car ride to visit
you very own hole out in the desert.
