Winning Blackjack Strategy
Blackjack handIf the dealer shows 2 or 3 and you have 12, you should take a card.The rationable behind the 7-up rule is that the dealer has to hit anything up to 16 and could bust. It is better that the delaer bust than that you do.
On the other hand, if the dealer's up card is a 7 or higher, always hit.
Always stand on 17 or higher.
Double down on 11 with no exceptions.
Double down on 10 only when the dealer shows a 2 through 9. You get one card only.
Always split aces and 8's. You get only one card on the aces and you determine the number of hits on the 8s, creating double-down options with 2 or 3.
Never split 4s, 5s or 10s, because you already have an excellent hand. two 4s are 8, and all you need is a 10 for 18. Two 5s give you a count of 10.
Most players would love to get a 10 dealt first, so keep it. Two 10's give you an excellent hand of 20. Besides, who needs those stares you'd get from the dealer and other player if you split 10s?
On splits and resplits, do not forget to play the same hit-or-stand strategies that you used original hand.
