Blackjack table

Hard 7 against a dealer 10 is a clear hit; standing is too weak and doubling is not justified with such a low total.

Hard 15 against a dealer 10 is a losing stand, so I hit to try to improve to 17-21 without busting.

Always split aces; two hands starting with an ace maximize equity against a dealer 2.

With a hard 13 against the dealer's 5, standing is the basic-strategy play since the dealer is likely to bust and hitting risks busting first.

With a total of 6 against the dealer's 8, splitting or doubling would increase risk without improving the weak starting total. Basic strategy is to hit and try to build a stronger hand.

Hard 14 against a strong dealer 8 is a losing stand, so I hit to try to improve to a made hand.

Standing on a hard 20 against the dealer's 8 is the strongest play; hitting risks busting with no need.

With a hard 13 against the dealer's 6, standing lets the dealer take the bust risk rather than hitting into a weak total.

Hard 14 against a dealer 10 is not strong enough to stand; hitting gives the best chance to improve without doubling into a likely dealer made hand.

Hard 17 against a dealer 9 is a standing hand; hitting risks busting and doubling would only add risk without improving a made 17.

With a hard 14 against the dealer's 5, standing is correct because the dealer is likely to bust and hitting risks busting first.

Hard 15 against a dealer 9 is a losing standing hand; hitting is the correct basic-strategy play, while doubling would add risk without enough equity.

Standing on a hard 20 against the dealer's 9 maximizes my chance to win, since hitting would risk busting and the dealer must still draw to 17 or more.

Hard 15 against a dealer 8 is a losing stand, so hitting is the correct basic-strategy play to try to improve to 17-21.

Hard 20 against dealer 8 is a standing hand; hitting risks busting for no gain.

Hard 20 versus dealer 2 is a very strong standing hand; hitting or doubling risks busting a near-made hand, and splitting tens is unfavorable.

With a total of 20, standing is clearly optimal; splitting or doubling would risk a near-winning hand.

Hard 12 against a dealer 10 is a hitting hand; standing leaves me far too likely to lose to a made 20 or a dealer draw-out, and doubling on 12 is never correct here.

Hard 17 against a dealer 10 is a standing hand; hitting risks busting and has poor expected value.

Hard 19 against a dealer 6 is a strong standing hand; hitting or doubling risks busting or reducing expected value.

Against a dealer 6, soft 13 is a favorable double spot: the dealer is likely to bust, and doubling presses the edge while the hand can still improve.

I have a hard 20, which is a very strong hand; standing is optimal since only a dealer 21 would beat me.

Hard 17 versus a dealer 7 is a standing hand under basic strategy, especially since the dealer does not hit soft 17. Doubling or hitting would only risk busting a made total with no expected value gain.

Hard 16 against a dealer 6 is a clear stand under basic strategy; the dealer is likely to bust, and doubling or hitting risks busting first.

Soft 17 against a dealer 8 is too weak to stand; hitting gives a chance to improve to 18-21, while doubling is not justified against such a strong upcard.

Hard 17 against a dealer 8 is a standing hand; hitting risks busting and the dealer must still draw to 17 or more.
