Blackjack Strategy Chart

In the following chart, look for the value of your hand in the left-hand column. Then look for the value of dealer's 'upcard' in the top row (A = Ace, 10 = 10 or Picture Card). The chart will tell you which option is statistically favorable:
S = Stand / H = Hit / D = Double Down / SP = Split
