button starts at the right.
Six decks, Stand soft 17, no surrender, DAS, resplits (up to 4 hands)
except aces, no RSA, for the tournament there is no insurance and you must
take your 3-2 on dealt BJs.
Also hands 18-20 are no limit.

Subject: RE: [vpFREE_Chicago] Re: MS Blackjack TournamentThanks for the information Jay and Toonces. So on a couple of rounds
first
place is not essential for adavancement. Hopefully no need to get very
aggressive in round 1 anyway. Is the initial placement of the button
random
and placed after seats are set? Just wondering if there is any
possibility
to engineer a placement just to the right of the button on the final
round.
···
Just refreshing memory on MS BJ rules: No LSR, S17?, DOA, DAS, RSA?
Haven't played blackjack at MS in a couple of years.Chandler
