Blackjack table

Hard 12 against a dealer 10 is a losing stand, and doubling on 12 is poor, so hitting is the better play.

Hard 13 against a dealer 10 is a poor standing total, and the ace counts as 1, so a hit has no bust risk from the ace. Hitting is the standard play here.

Hard 18 is a strong standing total against a dealer 10-up, where the dealer is likely to make 17-21 and hitting risks busting.

Hard 14 against a dealer 8 is a weak total, but doubling is only worthwhile on 10 or 11 here, and standing on 14 gives up too much equity against a likely strong dealer total. Hitting gives the best expected value.

Soft 14 against a dealer 7 is a hit under basic strategy; doubling is only clearly profitable against dealer 5 or 6, and a hit keeps the ace flexible without risking 20 chips.

Hard 15 against a dealer King is a losing stand, and doubling is only worth it on stronger totals, so hitting is the best option here.

A hard 20 is a strong standing hand, and a dealer King shows a likely total of 20 or so, so hitting risks busting for little gain.

Soft 17 against a dealer 7 is a weak doubling spot, and the dealer stands on soft 17, so hitting to improve the hand is the safer play.

Soft 18 is a strong standing total against the dealer's 7, and hitting risks turning it into a weak hard total. Standing is the better expected-value choice.

A hard 10 against a dealer 7 is a strong doubling spot, so doubling the bet is the highest-expectation play under these rules.

Soft 14 against a dealer 4 is a strong double: the dealer is likely to bust, and one more card can improve the hand without much risk of busting.

Hard 19 against a dealer 2 is a clear stand, since any hit risks busting on most cards and doubling is not worthwhile here.

Standing on 20 is strong, and the dealer's 6 upcard gives them a high chance of busting, so hitting or splitting would only add risk.

Hard 20 is a strong total that beats most dealer outcomes, and the dealer's 9 upcard gives them a low chance of making 20 or more, so standing is clearly best. Chat is off, so no table message.

Hard 13 against a dealer Ace is a losing stand and a poor double, so basic strategy hits to try to improve.

Hard 14 against a dealer 2 is a stand under basic strategy, since the dealer's weak upcard gives a good chance of busting and doubling here carries too much risk.

Hard 16 against a dealer 3 is a stand under basic strategy, since the dealer is likely to bust with a weak upcard. Doubling or hitting risks busting on a hand that is already a reasonable stand.

Hard 11 against a dealer 8 is a strong doubling spot since a single card of 10 makes 21 and the dealer's 8 is weak but still gives a good chance to win; doubling maximizes expected value here.

Hard 15 against a dealer 7 is a losing stand because the dealer likely makes 17 or better, so hitting gives a better expected result. Busting is the main risk, but it is still the better option here.

A hard 16 against a dealer 7 is a losing stand, so hitting is the better play under basic strategy.

A hard 19 is a strong total against the dealer's 7, and hitting risks busting on most of the remaining deck.

Hard 13 against a dealer 10 is a losing stand, so hitting is the basic strategy play and double is not worth the extra risk here.

A hand of 6 against a dealer 10 is weak, and splitting 3s is not worthwhile against a 10, so hitting is the standard play.

Hard 14 against a dealer king is a losing stand, so hitting is the better play; a card of 7 or higher busts, but the other outcomes improve the hand relative to standing.

Hard 20 is a strong total that beats most dealer outcomes, and the dealer's 6 is weak, so standing is clearly best; splitting or doubling is not appropriate with 20.
