General Tips
1. When you play using a double deck and you get the sense that the dealer may not have a blackjack while he hits on a soft 17, if he has an 8 and you have a 2 and Ace, it would be best to hit.
2. If the situation arises where in a game of double deck blackjack, the dealer hits on a soft 17 presumably without getting a blackjack, if he has a 6 and you have a 4 and 2, it would be best to hit.
3. Whenever the dealer hits on a soft 17 and he doesn’t have a blackjack (playing one-deck), if he has an Ace and you have an 8 and 5, it is recommended that you hit.
4. If in all probability the dealer doesn’t have a blackjack as he hits on a soft 17 playing with a double deck, if he has an Ace and you have a 9 and 7, you should hit.
5. When you play one-deck blackjack and you believe that the dealer (hits on a soft 17) hasn’t reached blackjack yet, if he has a 5 and you have a 7 and 5, odds are you should stand.Glossary
