Relationships score most highly as causes of stress levels, with work issues trailing behind. After all, if someone is reasonably happy in their personal life, they can weather the storms at work much better than if they are also unhappy at home. Often unhappiness in work, or absenteeism from it, is not dictated by the work environment at all. Personal unhappiness is likely to have its root cause in the home relationship; in problems which people do not find easy to discuss with others, which they tend to keep secret for fear of losing face, or generating gossip, and which make coping with work issues far more difficult and problematic.

Blackjack or 21 (twenty-one), is by far the most popular casino table game. It is quick to learn the basics and playing blackjack is fun.

The objective of Blackjack is for a Player to come as close to 21 without going over, while still having a higher total than the Dealer. Prior to receiving any cards, the Player must place a wager. Once the wager is made, the Player is dealt two cards face up. The Dealer is also dealt two cards. If the total value of the Player's cards is closer to 21 than the Dealer, the Player wins as much as was wagered. The Player also wins if the Dealer goes over 21 and the Player has not busted.

Sorta bad. Meaning that I do pretty good at playing the actual cards but I just can’t get the bluffing down. When I’ve got a really good hand I can usually follow through and win it. But if I’ve got a so-so good hand, I can usually get bluffed out. And half the time, I would have won the hand if I weren’t so easily bluffed. And sometimes I know a player is bluffing and winning and I get pissed and decide I’m going to take them down and then on the hand that I decide to go for it, they finally come up with a winner.
