If a player is dealt a pair of eights, the total of 16 is considered a troublesome hand. In fact, the value 16 is said to be the worst hand one can have in blackjack. Since sixteen of the other fifty cards have a value of 10 and four have a value of 11, there is a strong chance of getting at least an 18 with either or both split cards. The cards 2 through 10 have their face value, J, Q, and K are worth 10 points each, and the Ace is worth either 1 or 11 points (player's choice).

OK, we are learning blackjack; The ACE can count as either a one-point or an eleven-point.

1. Let’s now consider the most common hands in blackjack that players should remember. =21 Blackjack or Natural is a hand of two cards that equals 21 immediately after the deal. The hand is formed by an Ace and a card with a value of 10. =16 Soft Hand is a hand with an Ace where the Ace can be counted as 11 without exceeding a total point value of 21.
2. While the Ace is a powerful card on its own, if we are dealt a pair of Aces on our first draw and opt to keep them together, their combined total value is either two or 12 points. So it’s always better to split eights and aces for standard online blackjack players. The objective of.
3. According to basic strategy or “the book” you should double 11 against an ace if the dealer hits on soft 17 and you should hit 11 against an ace if the dealer stands on soft 17. I always double my 11s but that’s me. It’s the strongest double down position.

I read conflicting notes after a web search, and it seems to me that the player can flip-flop throughout the hand, switching from, say 1 to 11 back to 1 back to 11 at will.
I also read that 'stand' and 'hit' must be hand signals at real casinos so the cameras can 'see' what the player is 'saying'.
OK.
