It’s one of the many reasons why a carefully considered strategy is indispensable in “tak[ing] arms” against the “sea [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of troubles” in the casino. Unfortunately for the player, by rallying against chance (what Shakespeare calls “outrageous [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] fortune”), by steeling yourself and doing battle against it, one doesn’t really change it. This is Shakespeare’s [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] grand realization: the “thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to” is a symptom of living. For the Ancient [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Greeks, this truth was borne out in the mythological interactions between men and gods, where men were merely pawns in a grand metaphysical chess game between deities of immense power. That these deities were fickle, prone to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the range of human flaws and errors, and wont to enact their petty schemes on the lives of men was justification enough for the instability of the human of experience.
Now, as any blackjack player worth his salt will tell you, a good strategy always takes careful cognizance of the dealer’s hand when implementing a move. For instance, if you’re sitting on 15 and the dealer has 10, you would be ill advised to stand. What’s the reasoning? In brief: there is a high probability than the dealer’s next card will be valued at more than 5 (either cards 6 through 10, an ace, or any of the face cards).
Ah, Hamlet. You have to love his existential meanderings about the nature of life, the pitfalls inherent in our experience of it, and how we try so desperately to make sense of it all through philosophy, through myth, through poetry, through narratives about self and others. Let’s take Shakespeare’s grand metaphysical question and narrow it down to a simple game [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of blackjack: to stand or not to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] stand. It’s a vexing question- especially when you have an uncertain total like [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] 15 or 16. You may be tempted to hit in order to increase the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] total value of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] your hand. But in equal measure you know that anything over 21 will put you out of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the round by default.
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?
Let’s return once more to blackjack. Like all other casino games, it’s based on instability and chance. Strategy will gain you an advantage over the house but this is slight, albeit thoroughly worthwhile and important if earning money sounds good to you. But even with the most considered strategy and the most prudent implementation in the hands of the most rational player, the question of whether to stand or not to stand, and by extension the question of what effect human agency has against the infinite caprice of chance, is a question fraught with difficulty.
