I'll just play basic strategy, take my -1%/-2% disadvantage and just have my drinks and fun.

since when does basic strategy have a "-1%/-2% disadvantage"? I'm guessing you may not even know what the exact term "basic strategy" means. it's not just some generalized term like "I drive a car" for people who THINK they know all the correct BJ plays.

if in doubt, run through the free training programs at hitorstand.net and blackjackinfo.com and see how you do.

Well I guess it's more of a -0.5% disadvantage when the true count is one (overall what is it...a -5% disadvantage...I don't know but I know it's pretty close to 50/50)????? I'm not entirely sure....but I also may make a mistake here or there in my play too. Anyway:

Basic strategy:

If dealer has a 6 or lower stay on 12 or higher.
If dealer has a 7 or higher hit on 16 or lower.
Double down with 11 except when dealer shows an A.
Double down with 10 except when dealer shows an A or ten.

Exceptions:
Hit a 12 against a 2 or a 3
Double down with a 9 against a 3-6


Playing aces and pairs:

A2 = Double vs. 5,6
A3 = Double vs. 5,6
A4 = Double vs. 4-6
A5 = Double vs. 4-6
A6 = Double vs. 3-6
A7 = Double vs. 3-6; STay vs. 2,7,8; Hit rest
22 = Split vs. 2-7
33 = Split vs. 2-7
44 = Split vs. 5,6
66 = Split vs. 2-6
77 = Split vs. 2-7
99 = Split vs. 2-6,8,9



I'm like 99% sure that's correct...but if something's wrong I'd love for you to point it out.
