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.
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 has happened to the old format. It was great.
The old format was a bit slow, had some bugs and wasn’t mobile friendly. I’ve ported across the same functionality from the old to this new one but if you still want to play the old one you can find it here
Bring back the old strategy trainer – PLEASE!!!!!

It said a hard 8 against a 5 and 8 should double when that’s not the basic strategy.
Can you add some options to cover off practising for Freebet
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.
This is now fixed in the new trainer
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
It wouldn’t let me split aces.
I’d like to see some keyboard shortcuts so decisions can be made faster. Otherwise great!
the hit button disappeared
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.
i think when we both get blackjack it does not push
It’s a tie. If not a push, what do you expect?
Can you add an option to turn off the count?
I always run a better percentage when i play for more money.. I am at 71% wow
