I have started playing blackjack tournaments for free at a well known website that awards cash prizes for the top finishers. I have already won two, but I am looking for any advice to improve further.
Most players bet half their bankroll on the first hand, but I believe you stand to survive more by betting the minimum throughout, and only increasing your bet to avoid elimination. I also see situations where I don't play basic strategy because I have to avoid busting out. Anyone have any views, advice or experience?

Nothing specific, except advice I've given in the past.Quote: WizardofEnglandI have started playing blackjack tournaments for free at a well known website that awards cash prizes for the top finishers. I have already won two, but I am looking for any advice to improve further.

Since you have a limited number of hands, you need to maximize them.
A tournament is the only time I would consider or suggest, splitting tens, or doubling on a soft 20.
I invented a few casino games. Info:
