As the name of the game suggests, the best hand is blackjack. That's an ace and a ten, jack, queen, or king. With a starting total of 21, your hand can't be beaten unless you're super unlucky, and the dealer has blackjack as well, and you tie. The next best hand is a hard 20, which is two value ten cards.

Read More »Blackjack is eternally popular because it is a game that offers so many possibilities. Unlike roulette, where you bet and wait to see if you win (just as you do in baccarat), in blackjack, you need to strategize your way to victory. You don’t need to have deep-rooted knowledge, but a basic understanding will help your bottom line. The key is recognizing that there are many variables at play – the main two being the strength of your starting two cards versus the strength of the dealer’s one upcard. The stronger your cards, and the weaker the dealer’s card, the better position you’re in to win. Without further ado, let’s look at the best and worst blackjack hands and how to play them.
1, 3, 7, 9, 13, 15, 21, 25, 31, 33, 37, 43, 49, 51, 63, 67, 69, 73, 75, 79, 87, 93, 99, 105, 111, 115, 127, 129, 133, 135, 141, 151, 159, 163, 169,...

Read More »Statistically speaking, the worst starting hand in blackjack is 16 when you are facing a dealer card valued at 10. The dealer’s card makes it likely he will finish with 20 or just below – so you really should take another card at 16 and hope to get lucky. The next worst starting hand in this scenario is 16 versus an ace, followed by 16 against the dealer’s nine. You must then factor in your 15-value hands against the dealer showing a ten, ace, nine, and so-on. However, all is not lost. Say you get dealt 13 or 14. It’s a rotten starting hand since you may be reluctant to stand but risk going bust if you hit. The good news is if the dealer has a poor upcard, let’s say a four, five, or six, then you should stand. The dealer will likely have a high second card, meaning he must draw a third card and risk busting. You see, sometimes weakness is strength. You need to be willing to stand with all manner of poor starting hands if you feel the dealer is weak enough.
