Hi!

I am writing this “Cracking Blackjack” blog series as a way of consolidating the knowledge I have gained in the Reinforcement Learning space. I needed to combine the info of 30+ articles and blog posts when I was creating this Blackjack project, and I want to make it easier for the next person.

I am by no means an expert on this stuff. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about the information I am about to present! My contact info is at the bottom.

Quick Summary of Blackjack

Blackjack is a card game played against a dealer. At the start of a round, both player and dealer are dealt 2 cards. The player can only see one of the dealer’s cards. The goal of the game is to get the value of our cards as close to 21 as possible, without crossing 21. The value of each card is listed below.
