Does anyone play BJ at poker rooms? What are the BJ games there like?

Well, in the other thread I mentioned that I'm convinced that UltimateBet and Absolute's blackjack is rigged.

As far as the Prima network (Now MGS,) I'm certain that the Blackjack games there are fair, as with any Microgaming casino.

Do other poker rooms offer Blackjack? I know Paradise Poker used to (maybe they still do,) but they closed their doors to USA players once the UIGEA was passed. Such a shame...I loved that room.

I ask all the card rooms that offer blackjack to disable that option for me. I cannot be trusted after a few beers.

In the times I've played Blackjack in poker rooms, I can only say I've ever only won one hand. It seems like they ALWAYS make you lose the first hands. Because of that I've never trusted them enough to actually play more than a couple dollars..

I did play a lot on PinnacleSports' casino but that's unrelated to poker.

I've actually had some good luck with the blackjack at MGS poker rooms.....I have a pretty sweet screenshot of the end of one session, I need to find it

PS: most of the times I played, it was a hand or two in PartyPoker. As I said, I would say that out of 15 hands I've won one over the years.

If I remember right, I started with around $400, kept raising my bet and ending up at $100/hand and ended with this lovely double.

That's pretty awesome. Just doubling when you were losing?
I accidently lied before. I did make a lot of money on William Hill playing blackjack. Every month they gave you free money. One time I did go from 20 (I think it was pounds) to 400 pounds.

But I've also almost lost everything (600$ once.. it was stupid) doubling on roulette. I was lucky because I went back up to 600 and then cashed out.. it can be sadly addictive.

Nah, I'm a pretty aggressive bettor when I'm winning

I think I started at $25/hand.
