A blackjack table that tells you the highest-EV action for your hand against the dealer upcard, right when you have to choose. Instead of memorising a chart first, you play and watch the numbers behind each decision.
Expected values use an infinite-deck approximation, so the remaining shoe is not counted. This is a strategy trainer, not a card-counting trainer.
Table rules: 6 decks, dealer stands on soft 17, blackjack pays 3:2, double after split, late surrender. Other rule sets shift a few cells of correct play.
No. It runs on play-money chips with nothing to buy and nothing to win. If you bust out, one button restarts you at 1,000 chips.
The rule for picking the highest-EV action from just your total and the dealer upcard. This tool computes that EV each hand instead of storing a chart, so the answers follow the rules you are playing.
Because hitting and standing are both worth less than −0.5 there. Giving up half the bet loses least in that rare cell — and on tables without surrender, hitting is the answer.
No. The maths assumes an infinite deck, so the cards already dealt do not change the advice, and the shoe reshuffles at 25% remaining.
