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.
I doubled soft 19 against a 5 once because the count was really high, I took the bust card and the dealer drew to 21, making everyone at the table lose lmao
@@howkriv I know it’s just a terrible way to cause the whole table to lose since it’s not standard basic strategy. And most people don’t even know to double S19 against a 6 so they definitely all hated me
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
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.
Dealer has a higher percentage of busting, the player doubles any time a hand they can make money based off of the math. The math never lies!!!@@tdinh7609
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.
We hear you, talking about a bust card? CSM in Gauteng casino has no bust cards??? Dealers beat the hell out of all 7 boxes, at 3 players bets. The dealers are not even needed? The rigged CSM machines (POVERTY DISTRIBUTORS WITH NO REMORSE).
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

U only double a soft 19 against a dealers 6 otherwise stand
Gotta double down

@@zach2473 You played it properly. A8 against a 5 requires a +1 true count. You were well above that, so doubling was correct.

Very helpful to understand the logic behind the charts!
Thanks, this really helps fine tuning my plays.
Great video! Damn you are a good counter! How come you don’t post more videos? What area do you usually play around?
NIce. Always good to see the math behind it
In S17 game, also stand on A7 vs dealer 2 (not double down)
Thanks for this I’m just learning but I’m starting to become dialed in thanks to videos like this
Finally, a UA-cam blackjack video that actually provides the correct way to play !
I am a card counter. All this information is correct and well explained.
So why is the true count deviation for insurance 2.5 for a double deck and 3 for a shoe? Why isn't it the same?
Do your math numbers apply only to a one deck dealer? Or do they apply to more than one deck as well.?

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?
And it does not matter what you got when dealer bust

@@tdinh7609the literal math is infront of you. always hit 16 vs 10 unless the count is positive
That's for s17, right? H17 changes a few of those hands
I once doubled a soft 19 v. 6 during a true count of +1 or 2, and won that hand, and the guy to my left accused me of being "greedy". LMAO!!!

The math is literally on the screen and here you are still talking trash
Fun fact: you should double a soft 19 v. 3 during a true +5 or better, and against a 2 during a true +8 or better.
thanks
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.
if blackjack table is 6-5 you would want to take even money when you hit blackjack against a dealer ace right
If a blackjack table is 6 to 5 you just don't play at that table lmao
A dealer in Stateline told me to NEVER split 10s.

Soft 19 vs a 6 is a stand . Against a single deck it a double.
Wrong
@@rp3495 are you sure. According to Julian Braun who simulated millions of blackjack hands, it’s a stand against multiple decks.
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
9s vs 7 is obvious. You have 18, dealer probably have 17. Don’t mess up a hand that is already winning.
Basic Strategy says to STAND on ALL cards with a soft 19-20 and of course 21.
Thats for s17 games.
on h17 games BS says to double soft 19 against 6
