DISCLAIMERS
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.

Finally, a TH-cam blackjack video that actually provides the correct way to play !

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.

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

[@williamcase426]

Gotta double down

[@eddie-xi6ls]

Thanks, this really helps fine tuning my plays.

Very helpful to understand the logic behind the charts!

A dealer in Stateline told me to NEVER split 10s.

[@waritthornkaewmuang4608]

In S17 game, also stand on A7 vs dealer 2 (not double down)

[@missot]

Great video! Damn you are a good counter! How come you don’t post more videos? What area do you usually play around?

[@emmanuelvacakis4463]

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.

The math is literally on the screen and here you are still talking trash

[@igorgerlovin3185]

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.

[@emmanuelvacakis4463]

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.

[@igorgerlovin3185]

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!!!

[@emmanuelvacakis4463]

Soft 19 vs a 6 is a stand . Against a single deck it a double.

[@rp3495]

Wrong

[@emmanuelvacakis4463]

@@rp3495 are you sure. According to Julian Braun who simulated millions of blackjack hands, it’s a stand against multiple decks.

[@clearwater4806]

9s vs 7 is obvious. You have 18, dealer probably have 17. Don’t mess up a hand that is already winning.

[@eddie-xi6ls]

Basic Strategy says to STAND on ALL cards with a soft 19-20 and of course 21.

[@vodkatonic814]

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.

[@tdinh7609]

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?

[@tdinh7609]

And it does not matter what you got when dealer bust

[@isaacsmithson184]

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
