Mobile version of Blackjack strategy trainer. Rules: 1 Deck, Dealer hits soft 17, Double any card, No double after split, Never offer insurance. Had pair of 4s against dealer 5, tried to double as your basic strategy chart recommends, but got message that basic strategy was to split. On another occasion had Ace/7 against dealer Ace, tried to hit as your basic strategy chart recommends, but got message that basic strategy was to stand. Also, would it be possible to have a $1 wager increment and $2000 max bet option.
Nice engine. It’s good to see the deviations from standard basic strategy chart that are on the Google because those charts (Google) created for 2 decks and no surrender option. I prefer the options not to split 88 against TT and AA, and not to split AA against AA but hit Aces.
What you all are missing is that if the bad play caused you to that specific hand if you where to follow the cards on subsequent hands , any hand you win on you have to say you won because of what Johnny did. You cannot have it both ways of bad play helps you loose then good play will help you win and that is just not true. Bad play can make you loose that hand sure , but on the next hand you win you have to say it was a result of the bad play. So guess what it evens out. The bad play hurts because if on that specific hand you have a big bet and the bad play caused you to lose but on the next hand you win you have a smaller bet it matters. The size of your bet actually dictates how Impactful bad play effects you.
Yes! I know dealer and confirms shufflers stack deck against card counters, but I have ran into the problems you have mentioned. Once they realize what you are doing you will lose.
I have played live online blackjack and after 4 days I kept losing, so to confirm my theory I joined with another name and same thing after 4 days I kept losing.
Was flagged at the Borgata almost ten years ago & then Caesars. To this day I have played in most major venues & have not been escorted out. Although there are “lists” all over the country, some casinos are not as “tight” as others. Perfect example would be the Tribal casinos in CT. I spent 9 months in one of them going through the paces & took them for 250K. On top of that their comps at the time were great. I knew there were times when I was being run down, so I just took it easy. Aside from the discipline of tracking, you should always consider unit betting which will help disguise your edge.
no, if the player has over 21 he/she has busted their hand resulting in a loss. The dealer must pick up ones chip if they bust (making over 21). In your case hitting 15 and catching an ace gives you 16 which is not over 21. The goal playing blackjack is to not bust your hand but to get close to 21 as possible. Your odds on busting 16 is greater as you only have 16% chance of catching your cards. This also depends on how many high cards have been played. The more high cards played makes your odds better of making a better. 16 in blackjack in usually a surrender hand but some casinos don’t allow surrender. In this case your better bet is to stay or hit.
Thhis is a topic that is close to my heart… Thank you!
Where aｒe ʏour contact details thoսgh?
Is a Black Jack and a red Queen a Blackjack?
No , because blackjack and red queen are both 10 valued summing upto 20 only.
I’d like to have the option to mute the sounds so i can play without disturbing my sleeping significant other….

Do not like that strategy trainer can be turned off. Would like to see what I learned.

Tournament play, common practice to split 10’s.
Tournament play V regular table play, splitting 10’s a common play.
