I believe that In blackjack, a "push" occurs when the player and the dealer have the same total, resulting in a tie. When this happens, the player's bet is neither lost nor won; instead, it is returned to the player. This means that while the player does not gain any winnings from that round, they also do not lose their wager, effectively keeping their bankroll intact. Pushes can influence a player's strategy, as they can affect overall winnings and the decision-making process in subsequent hands. Players must factor in the possibility of pushes when assessing their overall performance and adjusting their betting strategies accordingly.

Yes, you are absolutely correct! In blackjack, a push is indeed a tie between the player and the dealer. It occurs when both parties have the same total value of their hands, resulting in neither winning nor losing the round. As a result, the player gets back their original bet. Pushes are essentially neutral outcomes where the player's wager remains intact.
The impact of a push on the player's betting strategy cannot be overlooked. Since the player neither wins nor loses money in a push scenario, it essentially "resets" the current round. This can influence the player’s decision-making in subsequent hands. For example, if a player has experienced multiple pushes in a row, they may decide to adjust their bet size or playing strategy based on the pattern they observe.
Understanding and accounting for the possibility of pushes is an important aspect of blackjack strategy. Players must consider the frequency of pushes when calculating their overall performance and devising their betting strategies. By incorporating the concept of pushes into their gameplay, players can make more informed decisions and potentially improve their chances of success at the blackjack table.

While it doesn't impact the bankroll immediately, it helps preserve funds for future hands. Pushes can affect a player’s psychological state and influence betting strategies by extending gameplay and reducing volatility. Also, consuming cards in the deck.
