*Blackjack Soft Hard
*Match The Dealer Blackjack
*Blackjack Soft 17
If you have a soft 19 or 20, you should always stand. You are unlikely to get a stronger hand than this. For a soft 18 against the dealer’s 2 through 8, stand. If the dealer shows 9, 10, or an ace, hit. If your total is soft 17 or less, you should always hit. A ’soft 17’ in blackjack. An ace and any combination of 6. Each game has a rule about whether the dealer must hit or stand on soft 17, which is generally printed on the table surface. The variation where the dealer must hit soft 17 is abbreviated ’H17’ in blackjack literature, with ’S17’ used for.A player next to me showed me his strategy card and I compared it to mine and his indicated STAND when player has A,8 (soft 19) against dealer 6.I told him that should be Double Down. So I asked him where he got the strategy card and he said it was from his mentor (an ex-player on the MIT blackjack team); someone with a greek name like ’petropolous’ or ’petrolopous’This man didn’t seem to know that much and wasn’t not jumping his bets according to the count so I doubt he was really able to count.Any ideas why his strategy card or his mentor would have him STAND instead of double down on A,8 vs. dealer 6?Anyway, I told him mine was correct and that I even had an argument with a dealer once who told me I was not suppose to double down A,8 against dealer 6. I told the dealer it was basic strategy, so the dealer asked the pit boss who was right. The pit boss did not know off hand, but had a strategy card in his pocket and looked at it and sure enough I was right. The pit boss ’I better keep my eye on you, you know your basic strategy too well...wink, wink.’
I like to assume that anyone reading one of my posts is starting at zero. I’m not doing exactly that here, because I’m not explaining in detail all the rules of casino blackjack.
But I do want to draw the distinction between hard hands and soft hands.
Blackjack is a simple comparing game where the player and dealer each start with a two-card hand. The one with the higher total points for their hand wins the bet, but only if they keep theirtotal to 21 or below. A total of 22 or higher is an automatic loss.
The cards have points based on their rank. The numbered cards have the same number of points as their numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. The face cards (jack, queen, and king) are alsoworth 10 points each.
The only exception is the ace. No one would blame you for thinking that an ace is worth 1 point. It is, in fact, in many situations, worth a single point.
But it’s also worth 11 points.
When you have a hand with no aces in it, you have a hard total. This means that the total is what the total is.Blackjack Soft Hard
For example, if you have a jack and a 3, you have a hard total of 13. There’s no wiggle room there. That’s the total.
But if you have an ace and a 3, you have a soft total. That’s because the ace counts as 11, but if you get a card that would otherwise give you a total of 22, you can count it as a 1 instead.
With an ace and a 3, you have a soft 14. If you hit that hand and get a 10, you have a hard 14. (Any hand where the ace must be considered 1 point to avoid busting is also considered a hardhand.)
The strategy for a player with a soft hand as opposed to a hard hand is significantly different. Since you have that added layer of protection from busting, the right move is often to play a softtotal more aggressively.Match The Dealer BlackjackBlackjack Soft 17
But when we talk about a soft 17 “rule” in blackjack, we’re talking about how the dealer plays his hand.
