The following basic strategy is for single deck games without DAS
(double-after-splits).
+-- Player's hand
|
| dealer dealer
| |-might bust-||-might stand-|
V 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 X A <------- dealer's upcard
---+-------------------------------
XX | S S S S S S S S S S never, ever, ever split
99 | PS PS PS PS PS S PS ps s s split if (d <= 9), except 7
88 | Ps Ps Ps Ps Ps Ph ph ph ph ph always split
77 | ps ps Ps Ps Ps ph h h s h split if (d <= 7), stand against 10
66 | ph ps ps Ps ps h h h h h split if (d <= 6)
55 | DH DH DH DH DH DH DH DH H H never split, treat like hard 10
44 | h H H DH DH H h h h h never split, double against 5, 6
33 | h h Ph PH PH ph h h h h split if (d >= 4) and (d <= 7)
22 | h ph Ph PH PH ph h h h h split if (d >= 3) and (d <= 7)
AA | PH PH PH PD PD PH PH Ph Ph Ph always split
---+-------------------------------
A9 | S S S S S S S S S S always stand
A8 | S S S S *DS S S S S S double against a 6
A7 | S DS DS DS DS S S h h h* double 3-6, hit against 9, 10, A
A6 | DH DH DH DH DH H h h h h double low, hit high
A5 | h h DH DH DH h h h h h \
A4 | h H DH DH DH H h h h h \ double against 4,5,6
A3 | H H DH DH DH H H h h h /
A2 | H H DH DH DH H H h h h /
---+-------------------------------
21 | S S S S S S S S S S always stand
20 | S S S S S S S S S S always stand
19 | S S S S S S S S S S always stand
18 | S S S S S S S s s s always stand
17 | s s s s s s s s s s always stand on HARD 17 or above
16 | s s s s s h h h h h \
15 | s s s s s h h h h h \
14 | s s s s s h h h h h > hit if dealer might stand,
13 | s s s s s h h h h h / stand if dealer might bust
12 | h h s s s h h h h h / (special case against 2, 3)
11 | D D D D D D D D D D always double
10 | D D D D D D D D H H double if (d < 10)
9 | DH DH DH DH DH H H h h h double if dealer might bust
8 | h H H DH DH H h h h h double only against 5, 6
7 | h h h H H h h h h h
6 | h h h H H h h h h h (4-2)
5 | h h h H H h h h h h (3-2)
4 | h h h H H h h h h h (2-2 pair if no more splitting
allowed)
---+-------------------------------
S=stand H=hit D=double P=pair(split)
DH= double if allowed, otherwise hit
DS= double if allowed, otherwise stand
[uppercase] = "strong" hand, favorable to player
[lowercase] = "weak" hand, favorable to house
(*) notes:
Playing A7 against dealer's ace:
hitting gains 4.08% if dealer must hit on soft 17
standing gains 0.74% if dealer must stand on soft 17
Playing A8 against dealer's 6:
doubling gains 1.96% if dealer must hit on soft 17
doubling gains 0.03% if dealer must stand on soft 17
(this rule may be ignored to simplify the strategy)
