Pokerjack

Pokerjack is a blackjack game with two poker-based side bets. I've never liked side bets that incentivize deviating from basic strategy, but what do I know? You can find this game at Internet casinos using Arrow's Edge software.



I just wrote a new page on this game (see link above). Please check it out. As always, I welcome comments, questions, and especially corrections.

The question for the poll is would you play Pokerjack?

It's patently ridiculous, for one, and secondly, it could be much better constructed.

You could simply have it be based on the player's first two cards and the dealer's first two cards (shown in a separate display) and then always deal a dummy card after all regular play ends. Without knowing what the cards next to come out are going to be, that at least wouldn't change the strategy of anything.
