Should I hit if I have 14?

Any card 7 or below is good, but the six cards higher than the 7 are bad. Therefore if you hit on 14, you have a slightly better than even chance (7/13 = 54%) of improving your hand, and you are slightly less likely (6/14 = 46%) to go bust. 7 is actually the "middle number" or "median" of the card values.

Blackjack - Hit, Stand, Double Down or Split? Blackjack is one of the best loved card games in the world. There are many variations, so if you're new to the game see How to Play Blackjack and Pontoon. Like any casino game, Blackjack is designed to return a profit to the dealer. However, against a reasonable skilled player this profit is very low compared to most casino games - typically less than 1%. Therefore with skill and a little bit of luck, you could come away with more than you started! When playing, you have several options: HIT - STAND - DOUBLE DOWN or SPLIT. You might even take Insurance.

Blackjack Quick Guide

This means that cards already drawn will have a negligible effect on the chances of what may yet turn up. Should I SPLIT? If your two dealt cards are the same value, this is the first decision you have to make. Generally it is agreed there are only two card values you should split: TWO ACES: this gives a soft 12 points which is not much fun. If the house rules let you split your aces, you have a 52% chance that at least one of your hands will give you a Blackjack. Be aware that some places only pay out 1/1 on a Blackjack after splitting. TWO 8s: sixteen is a lousy total to work from, but splitting the 8's gives you a 62% chance that at least one of your hands will give you 18 or even a soft 19. Some people argue that if the dealer is showing 9 or 10, then don't split and hit on your 16. It's your decision! After you have split you play both hands separately. Should I HIT or STAND? This is THE big decision! If your points total is 11 or less you MUST hit as your hand will improve and you can't go bust! Once your score is 12 or higher, you have to do some thinking. (If you're holding an ACE, things are slightly different. See the soft hands section.) This is a summary of the advice built up by experts over the years. Look at the dealer's upturned card and then act as follows: The Dealer's Upturned card What you should do Dealer's chance of going bust! 2 or 3 There's a reasonable chance the dealer will go bust, and he will be lucky if he finishes in the 17-21 zone. If you've got 13 or more then stand.

Hit on 12 or less. 36% 4, 5 or 6 This is bad for the dealer! Don't risk going bust. Hit on 11 or less. 42% 7, 8, 9 The dealer is likely to get a high score, so you have to take more of a chance. Hit on 16 or less. 25% 10, J, Q, K 21% ACE There's a 4/13 (31%) chance of a blackjack against you, plus the dealer has more options to get a score between 17 and 21. As it's likely you'll be beaten it's worth being brave. Hit on 17 or less. 12% When do I DOUBLE DOWN? Aha! This is the question that sorts out the champions from the also-rans. Everybody has their own opinions, so when playing hard hands (i.e. you don't hold an ace) this is just a guide. Double Down when... You hold 11.

You hold 10 and the dealer is showing 4, 5 or 6

You hold 9 and the dealer is showing 5 or 6.

SOFT HANDS! Suppose you're holding an ACE and a 3, this is called a soft 14. If you hit and get 7, you've got a perfectly valid 21, but if you hit and get 8, then your ACE is worth 1, and your total becomes 12. You're still in the game! Having an ACE is a very powerful weapon against the dealer providing you know how best to use it.

Here's the basic advice: Always stand on soft 19 and soft 20.

Stand on soft 18 if the dealer shows 7 or 8.

Hit all other soft hands! If the rules allow it, you should also Double Down as suggested by this table. (If you can't Double Down then Hit.) Dealer's face-up card Your Soft Hand! 2 3 4 5/6 7/8 9/10/ACE ACE-ACE = soft 12

ACE-2 = soft 13

HOW LIKELY ARE YOU TO GO BUST? Suppose you're on 14. Any card 7 or below is good, but the six cards higher than the 7 are bad. Therefore if you hit on 14, you have a slightly better than even chance (7/13 = 54%) of improving your hand, and you are slightly less likely (6/14 = 46%) to go bust. 7 is actually the "middle number" or "median" of the card values. Whatever your hand, you can work out your chances of going bust by considering how many cards (out of the thirteen different ranks available) are against you. For these calculations, ACE always counts as 1 and we're assuming multiple decks have been shuffled together. How many points you hold 11 or less 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Number of cards against you 0/13 4/13 5/13 6/13 7/13 8/13 9/13 10/13 11/13 12/13 Your chance of going bust 0% 31% 38% 46% 54% 62% 69% 77% 85% 92% Don't do it!
