The author describes in a bold and cheeky fashion his own advice based on his own experience. There are strategy charts and wager to bet suggestions.

You’ve Got Heat
You’ve Got Heat is an in-depth and informative text on blackjack published in 2004, by Barfakel. The book is a personal diary of a blackjack player, and it is unlike most books. This because most books about blackjack are often way off-base, or directly on target – and usually written by novices or professionals, but the author can be referred to as an ordinary card counter. If you need a step by step analysis of blackjack, this book is for you. However, do not be surprised that like a diary, it contains irrelevant information such as details on the ins and outs of the author’s daily life. That aside, this book can be viewed as a how-to guide, that addresses basic strategies, card counting and how the author combined the two, to at least beat the house and had some profits on his wager.
