I am starting to play single-deck blackjack online using your basic strategy. The site says the deck is shuffled after each hand and I am wondering what effect that has on using yours or any strategy? Further, would I be better served playing a two-deck game, also shuffled after each hand?

Love your site!

Are you playing online with other people or just by yourself?

Fewer decks favors the player. Just make sure you're using the correct strategy for the number of decks and other rules. There ARE slight differences.

Shuffling after each hand doesn't affect strategy, unless you're a very advanced player. Under certain conditions, strategy can change based on cards no longer in the deck. Basic Strategy doesn't get involved with that, but instead assumes a freshly shuffled full deck.

You DO know that the heads up blackjack games on various betting sites are supposedly rigged right? You win a little or lose a lot. Dealer pulls out miracle 21s. I wouldn't recommend you play that at all.
