BLACKJACK
FOR BEGINNERS:
This
is blackjack at its most basic. This will get you by. It doesn't
maximize your blackjack odds but it will help you look respectable
out there.
Given
you know the dealer has to live by some rules it can help guide
your decisions. The dealer will always draw cards until he hits
17 or better and certain probabilities the following are some
hard and fast guidelines:
- Always
watch for a weak dealer hand. The dealer has a weak hand when
he has a 2 - 6 showing. Some hands like 5-6 are extremely
weak beacuase the dealer has a very good chance of busting.
Why, because he will likely draw 10, 10 or something where
he has to take two cards with a 5or a 6. The strategy when
the dealers hand is weak is to stand pat and stay with cards
whether they look good or not.
- When
a dealer has 2-6. You would stay on anything from 12 to
21.
- Always
double down on 10 or 11 when the dealer is showing 9 or less
when you have 10 and 10 or less when you are showing 11.
You have strong hand, take advantage of it by doubling your
bet.
- Draw
until you have 17 or better if the dealer has 7 or better
showing. In the more advanced strategies you'll learn
that you might not want to stay with some soft hand combinations.
Soft hands being hands with an ace (used as an 11). Except
Blackjack.
- Always
Split 8's and A's. Chances of busting with two 8's is
high, and it's doubtful you want to stay with 16. Splitting
Aces gives you the chance to go for two Blackjacks.
- Never
split 4's, 5's or 10's. Fours aren't good, two 5's are
10 (a strong hand), and two 10's are 20 (a good hand)
