Strategies for Black Jack
It doesn't matter if you just started playing black jack or if you have been playing it for years. It is always wise to refer to so called black jack charts to increase your chances of winning. These charts tell you which decision to make for every possible hand. Every strategy chart contains three separate charts. One for a Hard Total, one for a Soft Total and one for a Split.
The following charts will tell you exactly what to do when you are playing. Use the charts and match the hand you are currently holding. There are many different charts available but these three are the most common.
Hard Total Chart
H=Hit, S=Stand, D=Double
Soft Hand Total
H=Hit, S=Stand, D=Double
Split Total
H=Hit, S=Stand, D=Double, SP=Split
It is recommended you always use these charts unless you know them by heart or you are a card counting master.
