Single Deck Blackjack Strategy

To get the most out of the single deck blackjack game and increase your chances of beating the dealer, keep some of the following tips in mind, next time you play:

-           Double down on 11 against all dealers up cards.

-           Double down on 9 against 2 through 6.

-           Double down on 8 against 5 or 6.

-           With Ace-8, double down against 6.

-           With Ace-7, stand against a dealer's Ace if the dealer stands on all 17s.

-           With Ace-6, double down against 2 through 6.

-           With Ace-3 or Ace-2, double down against 4, 5 or 6.

-           With 2-2, if doubling after splits is permitted, split against 2 through 7.  If not, split against 3 through 7.

-           With 3-3, if doubling after splits is permitted, split against 2 through 8. If doubling after splits is not allowed, just split against 4-7.

-           With 4-4, never split if doubling after splits is not permitted. If it is, split against 4, 5, or 6.

-           With 6-6, if doubling after splits is permitted, split against 2 through 7. If you can't double after splits, split against 2 through 6.

-           With 7-7, if doubling after splits is permitted, split against 2 through 8. Split against 2 through 7 in all games if doubling after splits is not permitted. Stand against a 10.
