• Custom Hands Training Mode
This is a big update for BlackJack 101, we've added a new Custom training mode. It does exactly what you'd expect: lets you choose exactly which hands you want to practice. Choose any combination of hard hands, soft hands, and/or pairs, vs. the dealer's upcard and the app deals only those hands. For example, you can choose pairs of 3, 4, or 7, or a hard 12, or soft 14-17, vs. a dealer's upcard of 7, 8 or 10. Or just practice any pair vs. a dealer's 7. Literally any combination of hands vs. upcards is possible. Great for homing in on your problem areas.
