Yes, of course you will lose sometimes... But if you are good at poker you will win more than you lose.

As for running blackjack hands through a stats program, that's really not necessary. If you don't know how to play, you can just go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackjack and there's a chart telling you what to do in each situation.
