Hard 18 against a dealer king is a standing hand; hitting risks busting with little chance to improve enough to beat a likely strong dealer upcard.

Hard 12 against a dealer 9 is a losing stand, so I hit to try to reach 17–21. Doubling is not justified with a weak total against a strong upcard.

With a hard 8 against a dealer 3, basic strategy is to hit rather than split or double; splitting 4s is only favorable against dealer 5 or 6.

Hard 9 against a dealer 3 is a strong double opportunity, so I double to maximize expected value with one card.
