Not a blackjack fan here but I played it many times when I get bored with slots and if you ask me how to play blackjack, there is only one answer.
I will always do hit when my card is still between 12-14 no matter the opened card of the dealer.
Of course I do it with small bet only because I play blackjack for fun only, so I have no worries about the possible result.
This opinion of yours is what I really like to read because it’s genuine. I knew it’s real because other users that I play with do the same gameplay.
What’s your reason for hitting on 12-14 if dealer is on 6 or below? Do you want to have a better hand when you stand so that you will not rely solely on dealers bust!
The confusing situation for me when playing blackjack is when my card is 15-16 no matter what is the card of the dealer.
In this situation I use my feeling whether to hit or stand.
Normally, you should stand on this if the dealer card is not A,7-10 because you have a higher chance to be bust. But if cashout is available then go for it. Stand if dealer have a bad hand same as you so that you will give to them the risk of being bust.
