Blackjack Basic Strategy Cards

In blackjack, the strategy for hands totaling 5 through 8 is to always hit in order to improve the hand's total value and have a better chance of winning.

In blackjack, when a player has a total of 10, the best strategy is to double down if the dealer's upcard is a 2-9. If the dealer has a 10 or an ace, then it is best to hit rather than double down.

In blackjack, when you have a hand total of 11, it is generally recommended to double down if the dealer's upcard is between 2 and 10. If the dealer has an Ace showing, it is better to hit rather than risk doubling down against a potential dealer blackjack. Standing, splitting, or surrendering with a hand total of 11 would not be optimal strategies in this situation.

In blackjack, when your hand totals 12, it is recommended to stand if the dealer's face-up card is between 4 and 6, otherwise, you should hit for another card.

In blackjack, when the dealer's face-up card is between 13 and 16, it is generally recommended to stand if you have a hand between 2 and 6. This is because the dealer's chances of busting are higher in this range, so you want to avoid risking busting yourself. However, if you have a hand that is higher than 6, hitting can improve your hand and potentially increase your chances of winning.

In blackjack, when your hand total is 17 or higher, it is always recommended to stand as the probability of going bust is higher if you take another card.

The correct play in this scenario is to double down if the option is available. This means doubling your initial bet and receiving only one more card. If doubling down is not allowed, the next best move is to hit and request an additional card from the dealer.

In the game of Blackjack, the correct play for a hand with a total of A, 3 against the dealer's upcard 5 is to double down if the dealer's upcard is a 5 or 6, otherwise hit. This strategy maximizes the player's chances of winning based on the dealer's potential hand.

When the dealer shows a 4 as their upcard, it is advantageous for the player to double down if their total is 9, only if the dealer's card is between 4 and 6. Doubling down in this scenario gives the player a better chance at winning. If the dealer's card is not within the range of 4 to 6, then it is recommended to hit in order to improve the player's hand.

In the game of Blackjack, when you have an A and a 5, the correct play is usually to double down if the dealer has a 4, 5, or 6 showing. If the dealer has any other card showing, it is best to hit rather than stand, split, or double down.

When holding an A and a 6 in blackjack, it is optimal to double down if the dealer's upcard is between 3 and 6. If the dealer's card is not in that range, it is recommended to hit to improve your hand.

In blackjack, the best strategy for the hand of A, 8-A, 9 is to always stand. This is because the total value of the hand is 19, which is a strong position in blackjack and standing gives you the best chance of winning the hand.

In Blackjack, the correct play for the hand 2, 2 is to split when the dealer's upcard is between 2 and 7 (*inclusive). If not, then hitting is the recommended play. Additionally, if the casino allows doubling after a split, it is advised to split 2 and 3. Standing, doubling down, and surrendering are not optimal plays for a pair of 2s in this situation.

In blackjack, the correct play for a hand of 3, 3 is to split when the dealer's upcard is between 2 and 7. If not, the correct play is to hit. There is an exception to split when it's allowed to double after split for 2&3.

In this scenario, the correct strategy is to split when facing a dealer's 5 or 6. Splitting allows for a better chance of winning by creating two separate hands from a pair of fours. If doubling after split is allowed, it is recommended to further split 5&6. Otherwise, the optimal move is to Hit.

When dealt a pair of 5s in blackjack, the correct strategy is to double down if the dealer's upcard is between 2 and 9, otherwise, it is recommended to hit. Splitting 5s is not the optimal play in this situation, standing on a pair of 5s is too risky, and surrendering is not an option with this hand.

In the game of blackjack, when dealt a pair of 6s against a dealer's 2-6, it is optimal to split the 6s. The strategy advises to split when the dealer's upcard is between 2 and 6, and to hit if the dealer shows any other card.

In Blackjack, when you are dealt a pair of Aces, it is always recommended to split them into two separate hands to increase your chances of winning. Splitting Aces gives you the opportunity to potentially get two Blackjacks and increase your overall winnings.

For a hand value of 16 in blackjack, it is generally recommended to Stand if the dealer's up card is 2 through 6, otherwise Hit. Surrender is advised only against dealer's 9, 10, or Ace if allowed, whereas Double Down and Split are not typically suggested for this hand value.
