Double Deck Blackjack

To use the basic strategy look up your hand along the left vertical edge and the dealer's up card along the top. In both cases an A stands for ace. From top to bottom are the hard totals, soft totals, and splittable hands. There are two charts depending on whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17.

Key to table:

H

Hit

S

Stand

D

Double

P

Split

H/P

Split if allowed to double after a split, otherwise hit

H/R

Surrender if allowed, otherwise hit

S/R

Surrender if allowed, otherwise stand
