Blackjack Charts Pdf
Blackjack Pays 3 To 2
Blackjack Pays 2 To 1

I am a novice beginner blackjack player. I've recently discovered and learned how basic strategy works, but haven't put it into action yet. The rules for the chart I'm reading off of are as follows:
4 to 8 Decks
Dealer stands on soft 17
Blackjack pays 3:2
No surrender
Double after splits allowed
Dealer peeks for blackjack
Pretty much the standard rule set for American casino's, my local casino being the Hardrock Casino in Hollywood, FL.
Now to my question..
Let's say I have a hard 13 and the dealer's up card is an 8. In this situation my chart says to hit. So, let's say I hit and draw a 2 making my hand a hard 15. Do I go back to the chart and look what a hard 15 does against the dealer's 8 OR do I make a decision on my own to hit or stand? In other words, it's unclear to me as to whether or not the basic strategy chart only applies to your first two starting cards or if you keep referring to it as you hit. I hope what I'm trying to get across here is understandable. Please advise. Also, please feel free to leave any tips or advice for someone that's still in the learning phase of this game. Thanks.

Thank you.

A lot of people assume the basic strategy chart is for the two-card starting hands vs. the dealer's upcard. This is slightly incorrect. The basic strategy was developed agnostic of how many cards are in your hand. That is why it says hit 16 vs 10 .. most of the time, you do hit 16 vs. 10. But if you have three cards in your hand, the proper play is to stand on 16 vs. 10. That is an easy exception to the basic strategy to learn, as Aces pointed out.

Use the Wizard's BJ trainer and it will confirm that you stick to BS as you get more cards. Be advised, as is clearly stated there, that the trainer does *not* know the exception.

I have also had many comments about the advice on a player 16, composed of 3 or more cards, against a 10. As a rule of thumb, the player should stand in that situation. However, that is a basic strategy exception. The game only knows basic strategy.

I would be shocked if Hard Rock stood on soft 17. Most casinos nationwide hit soft 17.

Hard 16 vs. 10, stand if three or more cards
What is the logic behind this exception on a 4 to 8 deck game? Personally if I DRAW 3 cards and wind up with 16 then I'll just give up and stand. Thanks.

Standing on 16 vs 10 is the correct play on any positive running count.
Disregarding all other cards out (because as a BS player, youre not counting them), if you have a 3-card 16 vs a dealer 10, the majority of the time it will be a positive running count.

How to Play

A unique combination of chance & skill

The popluarity of blackjack stems from its unique combination of chance and skill. The object of the game is to form a hand closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. At Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, blackjack is played with multiple decks of cards and is dealt from a shoe.

Card Values

Face cards (Jack, Queen and King) are worth 10. Cards 2 through 10 retain their face values.

Aces are worth 1 or 11, depending on the hand. Any time an Ace can be used as either 1 or 11, it is called a soft hand. Any time an Ace must be used as 1 (or it would force your hand to exceed 21), it is called a hard hand.

Legal online poker sites for us players. On the whole, online poker is pretty much banned in most of the states of the country, although players are not prosecuted for taking it upon themselves to access offshore online poker rooms. The only locations that provide legal online poker options are Delaware, New Jersey.

Playing Blackjack

Players place a wager in their corresponding circle. The dealer then waves a hand over the table, closing all bets. Once the first card is placed on the table, all original bets must remain the same until the conclusion of the hand. Two cards are dealt face-up to each player, and two cards (one face-up, one face-down) are placed in front of the dealer. The card dealt face down is known as the dealer hole card.

What is a Blackjack

A hand of Ace and any 10-value card with the original two cards is called blackjack; it pays 3 to 2 (win $15 on a $10 bet).

The Hitting Round

Players can improve their hands by taking additional cards; this is known as hitting. If a player wants an additional card, they make a scratching motion behind or beside the betting area. A player may take cards until satisfied or until the hand exceeds 21—that is called a break. Once a player decides to stand (no more cards), a horizontal hand motion is made above their wager.

Important note: Dealers are not allowed to take verbal commands when addressing hands; a hand signal over the table must be given by each player.
