Does the dealer hit on 17?

The dealer then reveals the hidden card and must hit until the cards total up to 17 points. At 17 points or higher the dealer must stay. (At most tables the dealer also hits on a “soft” 17, i.e. a hand containing an ace and one or more other cards totaling six.)

Should you split 9s?

According to basic strategy, you should split 9s against every numeric card a dealer holds, except for a 7. The reason is that if the dealer holds a seven, he stands a great chance of holding a 10 hole card and will stand on his hard 17, thus your 9-9 will win.

Do you split 7’s against a 2?

In multi-deck games, always split 7s against a dealer’s 2 through 7, otherwise hit. In single-deck games with DAS, split against dealer 2 through 8, and surrender (or stand) against dealer 10 if S17, and surrender against a dealer 10 and Ace if H17, otherwise hit vs. Ace and stand vs.

Do you split 4s against a 4?

The proper advice for a pair of 4s with multi-decks is: If the “Double After Split” option is available, split two 4s against a dealer’s 5 or 6 up. (If you happen to be playing single deck blackjack and can double after splits, then go ahead and split those 4s against a dealer’s 4, 5 or 6.)

Do you split 10s against a 6?

You’ve got to remember, however, to split your bankroll in half before you bet, otherwise, you won’t be able to pair split. Unlike doubling down, you can’t pair split for less. The bottom line for splitting 10s against a dealer 5 and 6 is this: Average players should never split and should always stand on 20.
