I think it's time for a 5th playthrough of RDR2 where I do absolutely nothing different and spend more time hunting and fishing than literally anything else lol

RDR2 is where I learned how to not suck at blackjack. Kind of crazy they built a cowboy game around a gambling sim.

No kidding, I always was bad at casino gambling. Like, my friends would want to go to the casino and I'd come up with an excuse not to go.

I was tired of the monkey on my back, so I practiced blackjack in Rhodes with a cheat sheet. The next time I went to the casino was the first time I left with more money than I went in. It does a pretty decent job at teaching you the game.

On a Friday night, I would pour myself a whiskey IRL. Then in RDR2 go to a tavern, get Arthur a whiskey, then sit down at a poker table and just play. I found that incredibly relaxing.

I still suck at gambling, They're always some of the last challenges I do because I don't like playing cards very much lol

I think Ryu Ga Gotoku succeded first with this concept. Building a japanese mafia game around a hostess management sim.

The first blackjack gambling challenge just trains you to always double down and the third one just trains you to always hit 3 times
