I clearly don't know if this is the best strategy to play Blackjack. But, I have seen some similar charts earlier when I was new to the game. Now I keep things simple when it comes to BlackJack and still manage to make some profit.
- I never use double
- For soft hands, I'll stand if the total is >=18 else I'll hit.
- For Hard hands, I'll stand if the total is >=17 and hit if total is <=11. For totals between 12 to 16, I'll hit if the dealer's card is >7 else I'll stand.
- I'll split only if you have pairs of A or 7 or 8. Might split 9 pairs if the dealer card is less than 5.

This is a standard one but the problem is with variations. Not every blackjack table is the same. Some have many more decks than others. Some shuffle the decks fresh after every hand, and some have different rules.
So you should use a double to gain an edge if you have 11. It's always in your favor.
I only split As though:)
