BASIC STRATEGY
Basic strategy is simply what actions the player should take after receiving his first two cards, in relation to the dealers up card.In other words whether the player should stand, hit, split or double down after receiving his first two cards.
RULES OF BASIC STRATEGY
*If the players first two cards total between 12 and 16 and the dealers up card is 6 or less the player will stand.
*If the players first two cards total 11 or less and the dealers up card is 6 or less the player will hit until his total is 12 or more.
*If the players first two card total 16 or less and the dealers up card is 7 or higher, the player will hit until his total is 17 or higher.
The exception to this rule is when the players had drawn 3 cards in all which total 16 and the dealer has a 7 or higher. It is suggested, in this case, that the players chances of drawing a high card has increased and should consequently stand. Also if the player has drawn 4 cards with a total or 15 and the dealer has a 7 or better you would stand.
*If the players first two cards total 17 or more you do not hit, no matter what the dealers up card is.
The exception to this rules is where the player could have a "soft" total or 17. That is an ace and a 6.

every blackjack game i see they are all playing basic strategy. does anybody win. if you play a differt way. and you buy when according to the strategy you should sit. the looks of disapproval will kill you.anybody winning playing the strategy
Occasionally, I like to split two tens/jacks/queens/kings when the dealer has a 5 or 6 face up, thinking he's gonna bust. Turns out to be half win and half lose.
I've been playing the "blackjack bonus hunting" for a while with amazing results. I'm starting to love this game ;)
Btw, does anyone know if the link given by absolut is up to date?
