I went to a casino and played at a black Jack table for the first time on my birthday. I have played Black Jack among friends before but never professional like this. I really enjoyed it because of the interaction between the players at the table. I suppose it is different from any other poker game in that the players are usually playing against each other as well as the dealer. In Black Jack everyone is rooting for everyone else, and if you have a nice dealer even he is rooting for the players. Players advise each other on every play and offer a quick Good Luck when an ace is dealt and then cheer for the Black Jack. I won four hundred dollars the first night and didn't even notice because I was having so much fun just enjoying being with a group of friendly strangers. I don't think I could be one to get addicted to winning the money but I sure could get addicted to the fellowship! I will definitely play again although I won't have the amount of money I was playing with again any time soon, but I saw people who would just come with twenty dollars and sit down for a bit and try their luck. I recommend Black Jack to anyone who enjoys pleasant interaction with strangers. :-)

Don't tell me of love everlasting
and other sad dreams
I don't want to hear
Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other
From a lifetime of cares
"
(Joan Baez, Love song to a stranger)
Good words.
