Poker vs blackjack

[reeseflamees]

I like 21 black Jack than poker but poker is cheaper and 21 is more profitable

Poker is a game of skill, psychology, and reading opponents, while blackjack is mostly about math and probability. Poker offers more long-term edge for skilled players.

What is better to play long/short term
poker or blackjack?
I think if you want quick money just take your bankroll and play blackjack and dubble it when you lose a hand ? Till you double your bankroll…
with poker you can win 500x your buy in with a nice tournament, but with cash games you can loose 10/15 x in a row a buy in…
so I’m confused a bit after playing for 20 years cash games, and loose that much, what if I played just blackjack with that money ?
( I still like the game poker , especially plo ) but it is so slow with bankroll if you play low stakes .

Poker has a type of tournament called freerolls. Freerolls are tournaments that do not require a buy-in. This gives you the chance to win money without risking your own funds. As far as I know, Blackjack does not have anything similar. Therefore, for those who value their money, the choice is obvious.

Blackjack can be fun at times and I like to play it sometimes, but it's proven to not be profitable for players. Poker is by far more a skill game and can be profitable as many pro's have demonstrated over the years.

Except for Blackjack pros - some of them are quite profitable but the variance swings are frequent I am sure.

I do find that blackjack is up and down - but it is easier to break even than other casino games I play.

I prefer poker. I know there is a lot of players who plays blackjack professional, but one thing is sure: luck is needed for both.

I think if you want to make money quickly by gambling, you will definitely lose it quickly.
I think that a player who approaches the game professionally, is in no hurry, and definitely does not have an urgent need for money can make money playing poker or blackjack.

I prefer Poker, because it's more about your skills, and about who are you like a personality.
