Top 10 Misplayed Blackjack Hands
Переглядів 260 тис.8 років тому
This video covers the 10 most misplayed blackjack hands according to basic strategy. It doesn't base gameplay on the current count; however, this is specific for a 2 deck blackjack shoe. If there is enough interest I'll make a top 10 video for 6 deck blackjack too! Be sure to check out my channel for more great statistic-based casino games.
Some of these decisions would change if Surrender was available.
😅
12 vs. 2 and 3 you stay if the count is high. But normally you hit. Assuming you are counting cards which you should be if you are playing blackjack. Don’t play unless you are counting cards and using deviations
This guy has no idea what he’s doing
Your A7 vs. 2 is wrong. You double A7 vs. 2-6, stand 7 and 8 and hit 9, 10 and ace
Never play a game that doesn’t let you double after split
Boring!!
At Golden Nugget on Fremont Street you can’t have the basic strategy card BUT you can have the basic strategy written on paper.
TWO DECK BJ?!?!? WARNING: do not watch this video!!!!
Rare to find right !
I find it rather interesting that no one brings up the important factor: MONEY MANAGEMENT. I use 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 7, 10. It is simply that if you are a $10 base bettor, your initial bet is $10 and if you win, the next bet is $20, and each time you win you increase your bet as I have shown. When you lose a hand, go back to the base of $10 each time. By the third bet, you have your original $10 back and now playing with casino money. Try it, you will like it.
very nice video
Soft 17 against the dealers two or three you double. Do not split sevens against dealers eight. I stopped watching the video After those two mistakes
Your the worst
Thank you very much bro, this will be my go to for counting practice.
you probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can give me.
@Jack Maxwell instablaster =)
Take this video down and redo it
Hard 9 against a 2 is just hit not double
It actually depends on what the table rules are. If it is single or double deck, you are actually better off doubling down.
For those who want to experience blackjack play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Daynextstudios.Blackjack Thank me later🤗
Basic staregy is the best way to play every hand proven by computer simulations and math. Blackjack is a game of skill follow what basic staregy says slightly change based on the rules how many decks wither the dealer hits soft 17 or stands on soft 17. You can get this charts online or at the casino.
sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Cesar Bentley instablaster ;)
@Caiden Vincenzo thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Caiden Vincenzo WTF IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I just got access to my IG login after ~ 40 minutes by using the site. Had to pay 15$ but definitely worth it =) Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Cesar Bentley Glad I could help xD
You surrender 15 Against dealer face card but not Dealer ace
Yep that’s what basic strategy says. Hard 15 should hit when dealer shows ace.
15 is a surrender against an A
Nice Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Jonlijah Emotional Sourcery (just google it)? It is a smashing one off product for discovering a winning online roulette system without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.
who plays on a 2 deck shoe. this is horrible advice
Where do I get a stragetry card? Could you send me one? Thanks
You can download one for free online. Or buy one at any casino giftshop for a dollar.
yeah what charts is this guy reading??
soft 18 and your doubling down against a 3, seriously 0o
Yes, because you have the edge on soft 18 vs 3 and drawing one card.
You are wrong on the 2nd one. You should double on a soft 18 against a dealer's 2. Especially in a 2 deck game. The truecount threshold for doing this is -.52. That means you double soft 18 against 2 if the truecount is anything more than NEGATIVE .52. Which means basic strategy says you should do it in general, as that is what is calculated for a truecount of 0. You are also actually wrong to say you should double 11 against ace. The truecount threshold for that decision is actually the closest to 0 of anything, even closer than 16 against 10. The truecount threshold is -.04. Which means technically it increases your expected return if the count is 0 to double 11 against ace, but it is so slightly, that it is not worthwhile to do it for it raising the standard deviation of the outcome by doubling your bet, for the case of kelly optimality where you are concerned with your bankroll on a logarithmic scale and steps back are more substantial than steps forward. Meaning, only double 11 against ace if the count is actually POSITIVE. Note that includes the ace and the cards comprising the 11, so if you have a 4 and a 7 or a 5 and a 6, then there's a positive count from those 3 cards and it's worthwhile. And really the ace counts as a low card for that scenario, since you don't want to get an ace when doubling on 11, so the count is ostensibly high enough to justify it, if you aren't counting cards and know nothing but those 3 cards. But in general, only double 11 against ace if the count is positive, not 0 or negative.
Where are you getting these deviations? Also, in soft 17 games, basic strategy says to stand on soft 18 vs. 2.
You are the first one that says 11 against ace double down. Are you kidding me?
You should on games in which the dealer hits on soft 17 because the dealer is slightly more likely to bust.
11 vs. ace is a double in all double deck games, and in six deck games where the dealer hits soft 17. It is not a double in sex deck games where the dealer stands on soft 17.
Stupid video, don't like it
Less than 50/50 to win on a double...no thanks, I'll take a hit thank you very much. Figure anything less than 9 will more than likely lose, or has for ME, every time I have tried it over the last 60 years or so. 39 "good" cards out of (104 -3 seen =) 101 cards or about a 38.6% chance to win with a double down. Even adding 8 as a "good" card still gives only a 46.5% chance. NOTE: I consider the chance of busting is offset by the chance you TOOK the Dealer's bust card and the chance of losing double vs winning single by hitting.
Oh well. More money for the casino because you refuse to use one of those moves that the player counts on to make the casinos’ advantages smaller.
@@GaryLuKOTH I love the 50/50 guys. Their math is so well thought out, I mean, what was the point of all those mathematicians doing all those complex calculations, as well as the statisticians coming up with probability theory, when you have geniuses like this and their "50/50" theories? Lol. Like you said, more money for the casinos, and more money for me to win.
Ed Thorpe created basic strategy 😬
No he didn't, he created the first known card counting method. Basic strategy existed long before him.
You need to go go back to school, totally cr*"ap lol
Even though everything he said is correct?
@@GaryLuKOTH Not everything. It's questionable whether to double 11 vs ace, but he definitely said you should not double soft 18 against 2, and in fact you should.
medexamtoolsdotcom That is not always true. In H17 games, basic strategy says to double down on 11 vs. ace and on soft 18 vs 2. However, in soft 17 games, basic strategy says that you do not.
So many times I've seen my friend double on his 11 when the dealer shows a 10, and he gets a shitty card and loses double his money. I NEVER double my 11 the dealer has a potential 20 or 21. Bad choice, and bad advice.
John Warren you should always double on 11
The probability that the dealer has 20 is the same as the probability that you get 21 (because you both have roughly equal probability of getting a 10). The dealer’s hole card is as weak as often as your drawn card is. However, you have the edge because if you both get a 10, you would have the dealer beat by 1. A double down does not need to win extremely often. It only needs to win more than 50% of the time to be more profitable. And stop questioning proven statistics without your own math or data to back it up.
you should check it at long term, the most people lose beacase they think next bet they should win it, casino dont work so, you need use the system 1080 to win real in casino, other systems of MIT team dont work
webman box Even though it worked for MIT?
@@GaryLuKOTH yes it worked in %.
If u go by a basic strategy card u are playing right into casino advantage
i dont believe in win at end of casino with basic strategy, if it was so, than all casino was already closed. the real win can done by the 1080 system
webman box You can tell me that when I see your math or data behind your “system”.
@@GaryLuKOTH add me on skype: victor miqu -than i can show you more about it.
Okay okay, I get it, way too much thinking trying to have fun. I'll be the lazy idiot dumping money in slots and roulette forever...
Oh well. Your money, not mine.
Uuj
How about 6 decks
The only thing that actually changes is that you shouldn't double 9 against 2. But that's only because the truecount threshold for doubling 9 against 2 is +1.0, and to be dealt a 9, that's 2 low cards, and the dealer's 2 is a third, so just by being dealt the hand, the count is already +3, so the difference between a 2 and 6 deck game becomes visible in the basic strategy there, since with a count of 3, the truecount in a 6 deck game knowing only those 3 cards, is +.5, which is below the threshold of 1.0, and the truecount in a 2 deck game knowing only those 3 cards, is +1.5, which is above the threshold. Really you shouldn't even be paying attention to basic strategy tables if you're doing it correctly, i.e. counting cards, you should be remembering thresholds for everything.
Don’t use basic strategy unless your going to be playing a lot of hands. For me I never hit 16s unless I see a lot of 10s come out. Do whatever you feel in the moment, you’re not going to win money going off a book.
Or just count
No wonder owning a casino is such a profitable business.
I only play recreationally but have never found a 2 deck game at the casinos I go to. All of them I know of are 6 deck for standard blackjack.
Who The Hell Splits 5s Against A 6 😂
Itz CJ u never split 5
I dealt blackjack while I was in college (it was a good job.) The only hand from basic strategy that I disagree with is ALWAYS splitting 8’s. Against a 9 or 10, you’re throwing your money away. You’re better off hitting.
statistics say otherwise
You probably should not question basic strategy without mathematics or experimental evidence to back it off, just like how the people who discovered basic strategy proved their strategy.
Gary Lu Productions I agree with nearly every play because of basic strategy. I understand the math and logic behind it, as I studied math and computer science in college. It’s the only play I disagree with. Here’s why: Dealer: *has 9 or 10 up* You: *has 8’s* Also you: “Lets make 2 18’s and cost myself twice as much money to lose to a 19 or 20.”
Warren Snook Math and expected value would give an explanation on why it is better. 16 vs 10 only wins 23% of the time and loses 77% of the time. The amount you would lose is (0.77-0.23)=0.54 times your bet. 8 vs 10 wins 38% of the time and loses 62% of the time which means that you would lose (0.62-0.38)=0.24. If you double that, you get 0.48, which is better than 0.54 bets. Note that you will not always get 18 (even if you get 18, it is still much better than 16) and the dealer would not always have 20 since only 4/13 of the cards have a value of 10. You could also get 10, 11 or soft 19. Even 12 or 13 vs 10 is much better than 16. You will lose two bets a majority of the time but each of your bets will win often enough to make you lose less than if you decided to play 16 vs 10.
Show me when 3 cards in a row are 10s the majority of the time.
You shouldn't split 7's against an 8 unless the true count equals or exceeds +5. That's if you can double after splitting. Good content though.
Split 7’s on dealers 2-7
Good tips boss
a hard 9 against a 2? whats a hard 9?
A 2 and 7; 3 and 6; 4 and 5. No aces involved.
Where in Vegas did you find a BJ that stands on all 17?
Used to be anywhere on the strip.
They are typically only in the high limit areas... tables starting at $50/hand.
This video is ass
At least show the cards instead of keeping them face down...
Rookie - @ 4:45 he wants to double down and puts his chip beside the original one indicating a desire to split. Rather than putting it behind the original indicating a desire to double down. Shows his real knowledge of the game.
Why so much time spent on splitting 7's so rare. Then you spent so little time on A7 the most misplayed hand with 3 options depending on dealers up card. How about 9's against an 8 or 9 people always say I'm not messing with an 18. I always hit my 12 against a 3. but to be fair it is one of the closest plays in BJ, it's almost 50-50. One thing to remember is that when a dealer has a 7 or higher showing he only busts 24-26% of the time. So, all those people who stay on 15 and 16, will only win 1 out of 4 hands. They lose 75% of the time.
@Biff Jones When you have 12, it is a losing hand no matter what you do. Your trying to lose the least amount of money. Whether you hit 12 against a 3 or stay, its a close play. The rule for 12 is stay if dealer has 4,5,6, otherwise hit...
In the double on 11 scenario the odds of a 10 is 4 out of 12 or 1/3 of the deck. You just checked for an ace. So you know the down card is not an ace, which leaves 12 possible options left. Also, all around the country including Indian run casinos the vast majority of games are 6 and 8 deck face up games. It's even hard to find a dealer stay on all 17's game. And don;t get me started on 6:5 blackjack.
There are different charts out there for a double deck game on different websites so this is somewhat of an opinion
Don't listen to them! Basic strategy NEVER changes, no matter how many decks are played.
Lloyd French Basic strategy does change . Especially when you count cards .
@@estar8204 It doesn't change when you count cards, only when you convert the running count to the true count. If you do this, then you can alter the basic strategy to become what is known as the professional strategy. But even most professional players will start off with the basic strategy regardless of how many decks are in play. Technically it should be changed slightly by the number of decks, but most people, and as I said even professionals don't bother to change the basic strategy due to the number of decks as it can change so often and overcomplicate things. Cheers.
Lloyd French It’s not called the professional strategy. It’s a deviation chart . When the true count reaches a certain number a lot of basic strategy can be deviated
@@estar8204 Yes, I'm aware of that thanks. A Mr. Cooper (I believe), from I.B.M. and Mr. Lance Hubbard who was a professor at the University of Toronto, teamed up and came up with the deviation based on the true count. They referred to it as the "professional strategy" as it improved the basic strategy in those circumstances where the true count reached a certain point. It brought the basic strategy to the level appropriate for professional players. The M.I.T. students who took a Las Vegas casino for millions used this deviation, and only to three levels up in the true count, which can be learned in about two weeks. You could be proficient in it in about a month. I tried it in Vegas in 1988 with some success, although I wasn't very proficient in it yet.
Worst. Casino. Ever! :)
