Blackjack 15 Vs 7
Blackjack Strategy Chart (2020) - Become the best at the online casino card game. Learn when to hit, stand, double down, split and so on in the guide. My blackjack appendix 9 is good for questions such as this. A match play is worth just about half of face value. So if the expected value of the hand is less than -1/3 you should surrender. Assuming the dealer hits a soft 17 here are those times. 10-A; Player 12 vs. 9-A; Player 13 vs. 8-A; Player 14 vs. 8-A; Player 15 vs. In basic Blackjack etiquette, you can do this by softly scratching your cards against the Blackjack table to indicate to the dealer that you want another card – when it’s your turn, of course. If you start out with a King and a 5, that’s a hard total of 15. Remember, because a King = 10, and 10 + 5 = 15. Another similar situation is 15 vs. 83% of the time (with a 10+5 or 8+7, but not 9+6), this results in a running count of -1 the first hand after a shuffle, and the index number to surrender is 0. Rounding down would cause the player to incorrectly hit, when surrendering is better.
I notice quite a few 'ploppies' (as card counters like to call casual blackjack players, though I'm far more of a ploppy than a counter myself) like to stand on the worst stiff hands, 15 & 16, against a dealer's 7. I guess they think it's not worth it to risk busting against a relatively weak dealer upcard, which does have a certain logic to it, admittedly. Still, it does go against the common basic strategy, so what exactly is the cost of doing this? Is it significant, or is it as negligible as standing on 16 vs. 10?The reason of course is if you make a hand of 17-21 against a 7 you are very likely to win (or push). Against a 10, you still lose a lot even if you make a hand of 17, 18, or 19, so hitting has less value.
A 7 is only a 'weak dealer card' if you have made a hand of 17-21. Then it's great. Otherwise, it busts only slightly more often than a 10. You should never stand on any stiff hand against it, it's not even near borderline.

Playing with 6 decks in the shoe, I'm dealt a 16, dealer is showing a 7 card. Should I hit or stay? If the answer is different for hard or soft 16 then please let me know.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm sure this question has been asked on this forum about a million times prior but I could not locate it in the index and I couldn't utilize the search function.

Welcome, newbieplayer. HIT! It's not even close. Had you said against a 10 there would be a couple of different answers and a little more discussion.

I notice the Blackjack game in the games section is not working.

Wasn't working? Or you were just losing? That was another feeble attempt at a joke.
Not sure where to report a system problem, probably not in the middle of a thread under BJ.
But I'm just guessing.....

I'm guessing they know, but I'll drop a note to JB; I'm pretty sure he programmed them. He'll either look into it himself, or he'll know who needs to fix it.
I was going to recommend it to the OP since it gives correct play advice.

(2) When playing perfect strategy I suspect you hit 16 vs 7 over 99% of the time. Thus unless you're memorising what's gone, you should always hit.
(3) As people have suggested (ignoring the surrender option) it is usually correct to hit all 16s against dealer up-cards of A, 10, 9, 8 and 7. The decision is more obvious against a 7 and gradually less obvious against 8, 9 and 10. In fact if you're counting there are many occasions when you stand on 16 vs 10, and a few on 16 vs 9.
