Blackjack strategy table

According to this table, you can achieve the maximum EV in classic blackjack. Use the first column to determine your cards:

  • Prefix “H” – the number of points provided there is no Ace;
  • Prefix “S” – the number of points with the presence of an Ace. The value may change as the game progresses, as an ace equals 1 or 11 points.

On the second row of the table, find the dealer's first card and choose an action:

  • Hit – draw another card;
  • Stand;
  • Double the bet and take only one card;
  • Split the hand, and then follow the strategy.
