Blackjack

Blackjack basic strategy chart

Multi-deck, dealer hits soft 17, double after split allowed. No surrender. This is the common U.S. shoe. Play the cell, then sit. Charts do not beat the house edge. They cut the extra mistakes that make a ~0.5% game into a 2% one.

Education and entertainment only. FeltEdge coaches this off the felt. No phones on the table. Dealer stands on soft 17, different deck counts, and no DAS each change a few cells. Check the plaque.
