Basic strategy: split 7s against a dealer 10 upcard is standard for multi-deck H17? No—vs 10 the book says hit 7,7 actually... wait, standard chart says hit 14 vs 10, but 7,7 specifically splits vs 2-7; vs 10 it's a hit.

11 vs dealer 10 is a standard double; doubling maximizes expected value on a strong drawing hand.

Hard 17 against a dealer 10 is a standard stand in basic strategy; hitting risks busting for minimal gain, and doubling 17 would be far too aggressive.

Basic strategy: hard 16 vs dealer 8 is a hit; standing loses more often than drawing.

Hard 20 stands against a dealer 8 — near-certain winner; hitting risks a bust for no upside.

Hard 17 is a made hand; standing is correct against a dealer 4, which is a weak upcard where the dealer busts often. Hitting risks busting for no meaningful gain.

Hard 13 against a dealer 10 is a clear basic-strategy hit; standing loses to the dealer's likely 17-20, and doubling is far too risky here.

Hard 17 is a standing hand against any dealer upcard; hitting risks busting with no upside, and doubling 17 is far too risky against a weak 2.

Hard 13 vs dealer 9 is a basic strategy hit; standing loses too often.

Hard 19 against a dealer 9 is a strong standing hand; hitting risks busting for negligible gain.

Soft 17 (A-6) against a dealer 10 is a losing hand if stood; hitting cannot bust and gives a chance to improve to 18-21, so basic strategy says hit.

Soft 18 against a dealer 10 is a losing standing hand; basic strategy says hit to try to improve, since standing only wins if the dealer busts.

Hard 18 vs dealer 10: standing is correct since hitting risks busting (~69% of draws) while 18 already beats many dealer outcomes.

Hard 12 vs dealer 7 is a basic-strategy hit: standing only wins if the dealer busts (~26%), while drawing improves the hand often enough to be the better EV play.

Hard 16 against a dealer 7 is a basic-strategy hit; standing gives ~74% loss probability while drawing a small card improves the hand and only 16s need rescue.

Hard 20 is a near-certain winner; standing is clearly optimal against a dealer 7.

Hard 19 is a strong standing hand against any dealer upcard; doubling risks turning a near-certain winner into a loss, and hitting can only hurt. Stand.

Hard 13 against a dealer 9 is a clear basic-strategy hit; standing loses too often against a likely dealer 19, and doubling is far too risky with a stiff total.

Hard 6 vs dealer 7 is a clear hit per basic strategy; doubling is far too weak with a total of 6.

Hard 15 against a dealer 7 is a basic-strategy hit; standing loses more often since the dealer likely makes 17-20.

Hard 8 vs dealer 10 is a clear hit per basic strategy; doubling an 8 against a strong upcard is too risky.

Hard 13 against a dealer 10 is a basic-strategy hit; standing only wins if the dealer busts, and drawing improves the hand without high bust risk.

Hard 20 stands against any dealer upcard; hitting risks an almost certain bust.

Hard 10 against a dealer 6 is a textbook double: the dealer's stiff upcard gives high bust probability, and my 10 draws strongly, so maximizing the bet is the highest-EV play.

Hard 10 against a dealer 7 is a standard basic-strategy double: the dealer is vulnerable to busting and doubling maximizes expected value versus hitting.

Hard 20 is a near-winning hand; standing is optimal against a dealer Queen. Doubling or splitting tens would only risk a strong position.

Hard 7 vs dealer 5 is far too weak to stand; hitting cannot bust and improves the total. Doubling is reserved for stronger totals like 9-11.

Hard 17 is a standing hand in basic strategy; hitting risks busting with no upside since dealer 5 is a weak upcard.

Hard 15 against a dealer 4 is a standard stand: the dealer's bust risk is high and hitting risks busting with any card 7 or higher. Standing maximizes expected value here.

Basic strategy: a pair of 3s (hard 6) against a dealer 8 is a hit; splitting only pays against weak upcards 2-7, and 6 needs cards to improve.

Hard 16 vs dealer 8 is a losing total; standing loses against 8+22.9% push hope, hitting gives better expected value since dealer 8's final average is ~18.5.

I have a hard 17 (Ace counted as 1) against a dealer 8. Hitting would bust far more often than it helps, so standing is the correct basic strategy play.
