The player closest to the dealer's right. This position is dealt last, just before the dealer. As a result, if you are new to Blackjack you may want to avoid this position. Other players will sometimes blame the anchorman for giving the dealer an advantage by not hitting or standing in the same way they would. If you do play in the anchorman's seat, stick to the chart and don't let other players fluster you. In fact, if you're card counting, this is the best place to sit.
