a theoretical BJ tournament

[psyduck]

Let's assume a BJ tournament in which everyone is sent to a casino with $10,000 for one day. The casino has multiple talbes with all the same rules and other players are present. At the end of the day, whoever has the most money wins the tournament.

How would you bet to win the tournament and why:

Do you bet $1 per hand or flat bet a certain amount?
Do you bet the entire $10,000 on one hand and stop playing win or lose?
Do you not play at all so that you will have $10,000 at the end for sure?
Do you play with some betting ramp?
Other betting you like to use?

How would you bet to win the tournament and why:

You hide an extra $40K in your pants before going to the casino, don't play at all, then at the end of the day claim you won the $40K. :joker::whip:

I did not mean to start a thread of jokes, smart pants!

Feel free to state your plan.

I'd hang out, see how many people bust themselves out. If someone got a huge lead and stop playing then you'd be forced to make some large bets. I wouldn't attempt to gradually catch up. Back count some tables, find a high count, drop the entire roll, and attempt some double ups. Attempt to stay close to the leader and go for a shoot out at the end and hope variance is on my side. Basically, play as few hands as possible.

Assuming a player will not know how other players are doing, what plan will have the best odd to win at the end?

This sounds like the sports betting tournaments that Wong talks about in his tournament book.
