Using the Charts
Using blackjack strategy charts isn't complicated if you know how to read and understand
the charts. The left vertical column of the charts is your hand and the top horizontal column
is the dealer's hand. On the charts, A stands for Ace. Simply line up the columns where your
hand meets the dealer's hand, to find the correct play. The abbreviations below are commonly
found on blackjack strategy charts:
- H - Hit
- S - Stand
- D - Double if allowed, otherwise hit
- Ds - Double if allowed, otherwise stand
- P - Split
- H/P - Split if you can double after split, otherwise hit
- H/R - Surrender if allowed, otherwise hit
- P/R - Surrender if allowed, otherwise split
- S/R - Surrender if allowed, otherwise stand
