• Blackjack should i hit on 12. Sixteen is the worst possible player hand, since it is unlikely to win blackjack should i hit on 12 as is, but is very likely to bust if you draw to it.Generally though you have the right to do so before the dice are thrown. Put your Pass Line bet up, sir, said the stickman tapping the Pass Line with the stick.
• Rather than thinking of deviations as “steering away from basic strategy”, you can think of deviations as the proper basic strategy for each true count. Take the 12 vs 2 decision for example. With a true count below 3, you will make more money in the long run if you always hit, but you will make more money above a true 3 if you always stand.

Here's the situation:
Us: 12
Them: 2

You're playing in a multiple deck game where the dealer must stand on soft 17. You're dealt and seven and a five for a hard total of 12 while the dealer has a two showing. What is the correct move under these circumstances?

Blackjack hit 12 vs 2 He did not permit the detrimental comments from other people annihilate his ambition of being one of the best poker competitors on the planet. These games of chance were not limited to the blackjack hit 12 vs 2 Mediterranean either.The reels spin randomly, and if the player lands on the right combination of symbols across a winline, it will result in a payout.

This situation understandably causes problems for some people. The dilemma is that if you have a 12, there's a certain chance you could bust with a ten-value card since there are more ten-value cards in the deck than any other denomination (16 per deck, of course).

The dealer also essentially needs to draw a couple of ten cards if he or she is going to break. Remembering logistically that odds are against this happening, since non-tens outnumber ten value cards in the deck by an average of 2.25 to 1, what you need to do here is improve your hand.

• If you NEVER hit the hand, you're going to lose approximately 65% of the time, without question.
• If you hit the hand, you'll lose only about 60% of the time.

Therefore, you LOSE LESS, and you're in effect playing defensively. You will win the hand at about the same rate, and granted, you certainly will bust some of the time, but keep in mind also that you will wind up tying with the dealer at about a 5% rate, meaning your original bet gets returned to you; money you would otherwise lose by not hitting.

Take only one hit though, as anything further will take you out of proper Basic Strategy.

More on How to play Blackjack

$h!t happens, :)

Like the kind we receive for doubling an A7 against dealer 6? ;)

I play my hand as I see fit.

Excellent response Dan. A player should play their hand as they see fit and wager as they see fit, within the limits posted. I am sure you agree. :-)

Blackjack Hit Or Stay

I typically play a DD game where when holding A7 or Soft 18, basic strategy calls for a hit against a dealer 9, 10 or A.
I commonly get grief from the players as well as the dealer.
Anyone else get the same criticism?

Ask the know it alls if they want to buy your hand. That usually shuts them up.

Blackjack Hit Or Stand

I don't discuss strategy at the table other than a few moves. Hate it when I tell someone to hit 12 vs 2 only to stay on it myself later in the shoe. :-)

Like the kind we receive for doubling an A7 against dealer 6? ;)

I got that at Foxwoods once. I was on third base, received a face card for my double, the dealer flipped over a 10, and his next card was a 5, for 21. The punk next to me jumped up from his seat and started yelling everything you could imagine, while a crowd of people who wanted to see the 'idiot that doubled on 18' began to amass. I knew it was pointless to try to defend myself so I just sat there and took it, although I know my face turned very red. It was that incident which made me decide that I would never play blackjack again unless the only other person at the table was the dealer.Ploppies will be ploppies.

Its worse when I double A8 vs 6 (H17); then watch dealer make 21. The ploppies heads nearly pop off.

Hey!.....[I see what you're alluding to....] [cough! ack, ack!]

I get this with hitting 12 against 2 or 3
also offering the dealer insurance. actually no on that one but it did break the grumpy dealer into laughter.

Hah, I thought I was the only one that did that, I mostly get groans.
