Strategy Chart
Understanding this basic blackjack strategy chart is very simple once you know how. The horizontal column represents the possible cards in a dealer’s hand and the left column is all the cards that could be in your hand.
To know what decision to make with your cards, whether to fold, hit, double, surrender; simply line up the column where your hand meets the dealer’s.
This is a list of the moves you can make when playing blackjack:
D – Double if allowed, otherwise hit
Ds – Double if allowed, otherwise stand
H – Hit
H/P – Split if you can double after split, otherwise hit
H/R – Surrender if allowed, otherwise hit
P/R – Surrender if allowed, otherwise split
P – Split
S – Stand
S/R – Surrender if allowed, otherwise stand
