Blackjack Tips for the Cluless

Blackjack Tips by Fred Renzey: With look upon to basic hand playing strategy, most players misplay the same 25 or 30 hands. first and foremost, these are soft hands, a few pairs and your basic hard 12s and multi-card 16s. By plugging these leaks, most people could decrease their disadvantage by two-thirds, from 1.5% down to only 0.5%. That would save a $15 bettor about $13 per hour, and a $100 bettor about $100 per hour.

Proper basic strategy is not the "be all/end all" of correct blackjack play. There are plenty of times when you be supposed to stand with 16 against a 10, or hit 12 against a 4 as well as 13 against a deuce. Sometimes you should stand with A/8 against a 5, and every now and then you should double down. If you robotically think the guy next to you is a moron when he makes these moves, he just might be in performance the game over your head.
