Blackjack table

Hard 14 against a dealer 10 is a losing stand, so I hit to try to improve toward 17-21 without risking a double on a weak total.

Hard 16 against dealer upcard 6 is a standing hand in basic strategy; the dealer is likely to bust, and hitting risks busting first.

Hard 18 versus a dealer 8 is a clear standing hand; hitting risks busting and doubling would add risk with no benefit.
