The real objective of the game

Some people thick the objective of blackjack is to try to get 21, without “busting” or going over 21. That is wrong ! The real objective of the game is to beat the dealer. There are three ways a player can beat the dealer at blackjack: (1) The player receives an ace and 10-value card for a blackjack. (2) The player gets closer to 21 than the dealer. (3) the dealer goes over 21 and the player, regardless of the total of his hand, does not. My advice is to forget getting 21 and play to beat the dealer.
