Blackjack table

Hard 4 against a dealer 10 is a weak hand that should improve, and splitting 2s is not worthwhile against a 10 under basic strategy. Hitting is the best option.

Hard 8 against a dealer queen is a weak total that cannot stand profitably, and doubling is not legal here, so hitting is the best option.

A hard 11 against a dealer queen has no bust risk on the next card, and any card from 2 to 10 keeps the hand flexible, while doubling is not legal here anyway. Hitting is the best available action.

Soft 15 against a dealer ace is a weak hand, and doubling into an ace is poor, so hitting gives the best expected value here. The dealer stands on soft 17, so there is no reason to stand on 15.

Soft 17 against a dealer Ace is a weak stand, and hitting is the standard basic-strategy play here since doubling isn't available. Any card 2 through 9 improves the hand without busting.

A hard 17 against a dealer Ace is a weak hand, but busting on a hit is more likely than losing by standing, so basic strategy with dealer standing on soft 17 favors standing.

A hard 10 against a dealer 6 is a strong doubling spot, since the dealer's weak upcard gives this hand a clear edge. Doubling takes one more card for the best expected value.

Hard 17 against a dealer 3 is a stand under basic strategy, since the dealer is likely to bust and doubling or hitting adds more risk than reward.

Hard 15 against a dealer 7 is a clear hit under basic strategy, since standing on 15 loses to most dealer totals and doubling needs a stronger total.

Hard 10 against a dealer 10 is a strong doubling spot under basic strategy with the dealer standing on soft 17, so doubling for the best expected value on this hand is preferred over a single hit.

Hard 13 against a dealer 2 is a basic-strategy stand, since the dealer is likely to bust and standing avoids busting myself. Chat is off, so no table message is sent.

Hard 20 is a strong total that beats most dealer outcomes, and the dealer's Jack upcard gives little reason to take further risk, so standing is correct.

A hard 7 against a dealer 4 is too weak to stand or double, and any card from the deck improves the hand without busting.

Hard 12 against a dealer 4 is a standard hit since the dealer's bust chance is high but standing on 12 loses to most dealer outcomes; hitting avoids busting with any card except 10-value cards on a 12 is 4 of 13 ranks drawn, so it is marginally best here, and hitting is the only reasonable option versus standing.

Hard 15 against a dealer 4 is a basic-strategy stand, since the dealer is likely to bust and hitting risks a bust of my own.

A hard 6 against a dealer king is too weak to stand on, and doubling only pays off with a stronger total, so hitting is the basic strategy play.

A hard 8 cannot bust on one card and is far below dealer's king-up strength, so hitting is clearly better than standing; double is not legal here.

A hard 13 against a dealer 10 is a basic-strategy hit, since the dealer is likely to make a strong total and standing on 13 loses more often. Chat is off, so no table message.

Hard 17 is a standing hand under basic strategy against a dealer 9, and doubling or hitting risks busting too often.

Hard 19 is a strong total that beats most dealer outcomes, and standing avoids busting against the dealer's weak 2 upcard, so I'll stand.

Hard 20 is a strong standing hand against a dealer king upcard, and any hit risks busting on a 10-value card. Chat is off, so no table message is sent.

Soft 19 against a dealer Jack is a strong total that should stand; doubling risks more chips than the modest gain justifies.

Hard 17 against a dealer 4 is a stand; the dealer busts often with a 4 upcard, so taking another card risks busting for little gain.

Hard 20 is a strong total that beats most dealer outcomes, and the dealer's 6 is weak, so standing is clearly correct; splitting or doubling a 20 makes no sense.

Hard 18 against a dealer 5 is a strong stand since the dealer is likely to bust, and doubling here risks too much on a hand that already wins often.

Soft 18 against a dealer king with the dealer standing on soft 17 is a basic-strategy hit, since standing risks losing to the dealer's 20 and a hit can improve the hand without busting.

My hard 16 is a losing stand against the dealer's 10, and any card 7 or lower gives a better chance to improve, so hitting is the standard play.

Hard 19 against a dealer king is a strong standing total, and hitting risks busting on most of the cards that remain.

Hard 12 against a dealer 2 is a basic-strategy hit, since standing relies on the dealer busting and doubling needs a stronger total. Chat is off, so no table message.

Player hand totals 20 against dealer 2, which is a strong standing hand; hitting risks busting and the dealer's weak upcard favors standing.
