- The key to any successful blackjack hand is knowing when to hit, stand and double down. Since you will want the dealer to bust, the most common strategy will command the player to hit on 12 - 16 totals if the dealer has 7 - 9 or an Ace. If not, the player should stand. Any pair with 8 or lower value can be hit.

Blackjack basic strategy is based on the mathematics of the game. It has been tested and refined through computer simulations. When it is followed correctly it reduces the house edge to the minimum, which is usually about one-half of a percent. When you use basic strategy, you make your decision to Hit, stand or double down based on your two cards and the dealers up card. Many players wonder what percentage of time will the dealer bust based on their up card.
The dealer will bust more often with certain up cards than with others. Take a look at the chart below. You will see that the worst cards for the dealer are the 5 and 6 followed closely by the 4. When the dealer is showing a 5 or a 6 they have a 42 percent chance of busting and a 40 percent chance when they have a 4 showing. This is why you double down more often when the dealer is showing a 4, 5 or 6.
The cards where the dealer is least likely to bust are the Ace, 10 and 9. When the dealer has one of these cards showing, they also have another advantage since the player has to act first. According to basic strategy, a player with a hand of less than 17 will need to take a hit when the dealer is showing a 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 or ace. If the player busts, he loses the hand even if the dealer also busts so the percentage of times the house will win is greater than just the bust percentage shown in the chart.

It was the second violent incident inside a Las Vegas Strip casino in recent days. Last week, an Illinois man shot and killed his ex-girlfriend and then himself in the lobby of the Excalibur resort. The woman was an employee of the resort.
Stokes was charged with burglary, two counts of battery with a deadly weapon and mayhem, according to Clark County online inmate records. She was due in court Dec. 26.
Stokes allegedly had an 'edged blade,' a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Department told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The victim's condition was unknown, and police could not confirm whether the two dealers were working at the time.
