What blackjack training drills should I do?
QUICK ANSWER
Start with basic strategy drills until you're at 99% accuracy. Then move to Hi-Lo counting at slow speed and work up to 1 second per card. Then true count conversion. Finally, deviation drills. Each stage builds on the previous — don't skip ahead.
