Here is an example blackjack strategy card for a multi deck game where the casino rules state that the dealer must hit soft 17.
Let’s examine the key points and understand how to use the card. You can use this card for any play in the game, not just the first play of a hand.
Start by finding the dealer’s face up card on the top line, then the row for your hand total or cards in the left hand column. Then scan across to find the square where the column and row meet. This square indicates what your play should be:
- H – Stand. Take another card.
- S – Stand. Take no further action.
- D – Double down if allowed or Hit if not.
- Ds – Double down if allowed or Stand if not.
- SP – Split if allowed, otherwise play the hand for the total of the two cards.
It’s as simple as that.
