Unless your counting cards, black jack is a horrible way to try to make money. Counting cards take a ton of time, and it's kind of sketchy.
Poker is easy money for me. I play the people not the cards. After a few hands you start to figure out how everyone plays. You know what peoples weaknesses are. So much fun too. Monday nights is my most consistent game. We play 3-6 games a night. I made a reputation as being extremely loose there. So when people start to call on anything, i just tighten up. Play 10 hands the same way, or the same hand 10 different ways. If you mix it up and read people well it's easy money. theres always gonna be nights where you get fucked over by idiots getting lucky, but it happens.
Such a fun game though
