    Calculations were for an eight-deck shoe, but the principles are applicable for six deck as well.
    The note at the end to 'always double your elevens' does not apply to a Stand on Soft 17 game.

    During a bad run at the tables, I doubled a S19. The guy on 1st and the dealer told me that was a bad move I had the 3rd best hand. I told them they had the #1 bust card showing. I end up taking the dealers bust card and the dealer beat me. I glad to see the math behind that move and will keep doing it.

      these are for multideck (4+ decks), but it works for less decks as well. if you want a more accurate basic strategy chart for your game rules search on google for wizard of odds' basic strategy generator

    A7 vs a 2 is a stand. Vs 3-6 it’s a double. Vs a7 it’s a stand. Vs an 8 it’s a stand. Vs a 9 and 10 it’s a hit. Vs an A it’s a hit. Single deck it depends on whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17. If they hit , you hit, if they stand you stand. Vs a 2 it’s a close play.

    Good presentation! I did notice that doubling your soft 19 on a dealer 6 should only be done on tables where the dealer hits soft 17 rather than standing on soft 17.

      Totally disagree on hitting on 16, see how many cards get you busted: 6, 7, 8,9,10, J,Q, K vs A, 2, 3, 4,5 , thats 5 vs 8. simple math. Are you crazy?

    Standing on 16 vs a 7 gives up 11% over the player that hits. If you can’t surrender, standing on 16 vs an A gives up 16% over the player that hits.

      on s17 games its a stand, but you can deviate from basic strategy at TC 1+.
      on h17 games its always a double down, unless there is a negative count in that case you should stand
