Hey @sebek230!
Honestly, there are tons of memorized blackjack strategies out there, but I mostly play by feel and based on how lucky the dealer seems. I do follow some basic strategies, but in the end, I trust my gut and the dealer’s “vibe.” 😅
Here’s my personal rule: if the dealer is hitting blackjack with weird hands like 3-6-2, run for your life! That dealer is a blackjack god and will keep drawing 21s until you’re broke. 😂
Of course, I also use some standard rules to stay on track:
🔹 Always split Aces and 8s.
🔹 Never split 10s.
🔹 Always double down on a hard 11.
🔹 On a hard 12, stand if the dealer shows 4-6; otherwise, hit.
🔹 On a soft 18 (A,7), hit if the dealer shows 9, 10, or Ace.
I find insurance bets and surrender options pretty pointless, so I never bother with them.
In short: Trust your instincts, but watch out for those blackjack gods at the table! 🍀
