About me:

I'm Ken Smith, and I've been competing in and writing about blackjack tournaments since 1994. Like many avid tournament players, I had a lot of early success, winning a considerable amount of money in events in my first year competing. I live in South Mississippi near the Gulf Coast, where the casino industry was still brand-new in the mid-90's. At that time, the Mississippi casinos were competing for business and there were weekly blackjack tournaments literally every night of the week at the various casinos. In the largest weekly events, players could pay a $50 entry fee and compete for $10,000 in prize money.

Since tournaments were new to the area, many of the players were unfamiliar with the appropriate strategies and were at a significant disadvantage to the sharper players. Week after week, the same names appeared at the final table. I was fortunate enough to be among them. I played often, learned a lot, and made a nice supplemental income.

My appearances on televised blackjack tournaments include all four seasons to date of the World Series of Blackjack on GSN, the Ultimate Blackjack Tour on CBS, and the Las Vegas Hilton Million Dollar Blackjack Tournament on the Travel Channel.
