Playing with Friends

Hi,
Here is the story: I went to a friend's house days ago, and played BJ with several other friends. In this game, every player acts as dealer IN TURN (who will deal the card.). And the difference is the deal can stand at any point if he likes. Ohter rules are similar with casino's rules. This is the first time I play BJ with these rules. Is there a name for this kind of BJ? and Any strategy for it?

Thanks

I do not know a name for this game.
For anyone to develop a strategy there is a huge question you must answer first.

Are the players cards dealt face up or down?
If dealt face up, I would think the dealer has a greater advantage in that he knows what each player has and then can make a decision to hit or not.

while the second dealt face up. So the dealer can see only card of the player's. At the same time, the dealer's first card was dealt face down and second face up too. The dealing scenario is pretty much like the one in casino, the difference is the dealer can decide to stop at any value (not 17 or more). And every play will be the dealer in turn as game goes.
Any strategy for this kind of game.

Thanks

Anybody can answer it? Thanks.

ChangShui,

...describes some games that are very similar to this. Unfortunately, I don't have the book with me, or I could give you more detailed information.

However, the game you describe has certain similarities to poker: it is much more psychological than BJ.

If a player busts, is he required to toss in his cards? If not, that adds yet another element to the game.

Just my 2 cents worth!
