I hate playing BlackJack online for a number of reasons.
First it is a statistically break even game where no matter how hot you are running the cards will always turn back around.
Second, when you play BlackJack live you can see the shoe and the other cards people are catching which is a major advantage especially to a card counter. Most of the time online you are playing against the house yourself and if you are at a multi-hand table the people playing with you are playing for themselves. When you play at a live table there is a certain social atmosphere that applies pressure to the player at third base to make the statistically correct call. Online it is every player for him/herself.
If you are going to play online BlackJack then google up the wizard of odds website and read the player reviews and reports on the RNG that the site you want to play at uses. There are an unbelievable number of ways that these sites can shuffle the cards find one that uses a shuffle algorythm that fits your style. As a final point remember that you are playing 5-10 times the number of hands that you would live and the hot and cold streaks will appear more often and the double up while you are losing technique will break you.
