Blackjack and Suspense

Blackjack, is a game of drawn-out suspense. At each and every step of the way we hang in anticipation. a typical blackjack scenari is as follows

The dealer finishes the shuffle and puts the cards in the shoe. Now, he buries a card. You wonder what that card is? Now, he deals the cards, first base gets a card, then second base, then its your turn, then the guy on third base . You have a six as your first card. Now, you are rooting for a five to hit that six so you can double down. First base gets a card, a three now the suspense is building up, now second base gets a ten your stomach tightens, now you get -- yes! - a five! now time for the thrill feeling,You have 11 and the dealer now turns over again the suspense, a 10. Ugh! You hate to double down on an 11 against a dealer’s 10 but it must be done. You put out another bet equal to the previous bet. Now, first base asks for a hit on his 14 (suspense), he pulls a four. Good. No ten. You want that ten! Now, second base stands with his 17. wit more suspense.The dealer reaches over to the shoe and drags out your card.Agonizing the suspense. Oh, no, the worst, the very worst, an ace. Your heart sinks. Third base has a 19 and is standing. Now, the dealer flips over his hole card -- you’re expecting a 7 or more and doom for your double down. But wait. The dealer’s hole card is a six! He has 16! Your heart is in your throat. You still have a chance to win that double down of yours. The dealer is in the worst possible draw position -- 16! Wow all the suspense!

Ya, I don't know if my heart could take it lol! I've never played this game. It seems a bit complicated, I probably just make it that way though.

Do you play it much? How long have you been playing? I've read about the game but just never took the time to try.
