Blackjack table

Hard 15 against a dealer Ace is weak; standing risks losing to any dealer made hand, while hitting gives a chance to improve. Double is not favorable with a likely dealer strong total.

Hard 17 against a dealer 10 is a standing hand; hitting risks busting and doubling is not favorable with a weak total.

With a hard 18 against a dealer 10, basic strategy is to stand; splitting 9s or hitting would increase risk against a strong dealer upcard.
