Have an old DOS based bj simulator, what does \"Q\" mean?
I have an old (1985) bj simulator that I used to use a lot. I took a look at it the other day and the strategy section has S/H/D/Q for Stand/Hit/Double/? For the life of me I cannot remember what Q is for.
The supplied strategy shows a Q if the player holds 16 and the dealer shows 9/10/A, player holds 15 and the dealer shows 10/A, player shows 12/13 and the dealer shows A. Any ideas on what this is? TIA |

Surrender? [/ QUOTE ] Sure sounds like surrender to me. |
Re: Have an old DOS based bj simulator, what does \"Q\" mean?
thanks money. I am thinking that too as I search around for basic strategies.

Presumably Q-for-Quit is the intended mnemonic, since S was already taken for stand.

thanks sig, that seems to be it. if surrender is allowed then quit, otherwise hit.

I have to agree that Q seems to mean surrender. I'm not sure why, as the usual convention is to use R for surrender.
