How To Use The Trainer

Play each hand the way you normally would. After every decision, the trainer tells you the correct basic strategy move and shows you where you went wrong if you make a mistake.

The built-in strategy chart gives you a full visual reference for hard hands, soft hands, and pairs. If you ever want to double-check a move, open the chart and compare the correct play against the dealer’s upcard.

The accuracy display 18 / 22 · 82% shows how often you’re choosing the correct move. Click it to open a detailed breakdown of your results, including your overall accuracy, your performance by hand type, and the mistakes you make most often.

Why Basic Strategy Matters

Basic strategy is the mathematically correct way to play blackjack based on your hand and the dealer’s upcard. It won’t guarantee a win on every hand, but it does reduce costly mistakes and gives you the best long-term decisions.

Most players lose extra money by standing, hitting, splitting, or doubling in the wrong spots. Practicing with live feedback helps build the right habits much faster.

What You’ll Learn

This trainer helps you improve in the most important parts of blackjack strategy:

  • Hard totals
  • Soft totals
  • Pair splitting
  • Double down decisions
  • Surrender decisions
  • Rule-dependent strategy changes

Customize The Rules

Blackjack strategy changes depending on the game. Click on the settings icon at the top left to practice with different rules, including:

  • Number of decks (default 6)
  • Dealer hits or stands on soft 17 (default Stands)
  • Double down restrictions (default any two cards)
  • Double after split – (default Allowed)
  • Surrender availability (default None)
  • Dealer peek rules (default Yes)
  • Strategy coach (default On)

That means you can train for the specific tables you actually play.

Use The Strategy Chart And Stats

The built-in strategy chart gives you a full visual reference for hard hands, soft hands, and pairs. If you want to study first and play second, it works as a quick lookup tool. If you prefer learning by doing, you can use it after a mistake to reinforce the right move.

The stats view tracks your overall accuracy and highlights the mistakes you make most often, so you know exactly what to work on next.

It said a hard 8 against a 5 and 8 should double when that’s not the basic strategy.

I had two aces, I split, I got another ace, but when I tried to split again the game closed. I think it’s a bug.

Would it be possible to add this feature to the strategy trainer: that we can set the amount of $ in our pot to play with? And / or add to it without having to reset our game?

I’m playing late surrender. I’m dealt 7/3; dealer, ace. Surrender is offered BEFORE dealer peeks. WRONG.

1-When we surrender the dealer doenst show the second card, its good for us to know what card was for the count
2-having a card counter and true counter hidden that when we press it shows these two values, just for checking
3-having a graphical representation of the cards (decks) at the beggining of the round and the same but for the discarded cards and so that we can make guess the true count

I’d like to see some keyboard shortcuts so decisions can be made faster. Otherwise great!

For a pair of sevens against a Dealer king, it just tried to correct me that I should Surrender instead of Hit. I disagree with that strategy. A bug, maybe?

Similarly, it is recommending to stand with a pair of 7s against a jack

I think this program is great. A feature that I would like to see added is a card discard pile that updates after each hand. I think it would be a great help in getting used to visually determining how many decks remain.

why does the app take away another bet from the total money when there is a push?

Best blackjack trainer available online in my opinion. Wish it would allow splitting aces more than once, however.

Love this for practising ideas on strategies. I especially love that it gives options on things like deck size, surrender, what double downs are allowed. Only change I’d make is to give us the choice on how big a pot to be playing with.

It would be nice if after a surrender it would show you what the down-card was.
