I hate it when i played blackjack i got 13,14,15 or 16 the first step is i see my opponent card

if i see he has 10 or 9 and i got 16 i will hit it but if he has 5 or 6 i will stand, but sometime i just go with my feeling

I always hit on 16 myself. According to what you wrote though with a 2.1% difference it would seem the better play is to stand

Black Jack, that is a game for brainiacs who count cards. If u play for like like I did for sure house will take u evey dollar from your pocket. I dont know how many times I hit that 16 or 15 or even 17, dont know how many times I stand on these numbers but house always beat me. How much money u need to have in pocket to play BJ and take something is much better question then to hit it or not on 16 when he have 10 or ace. What to do then to hit and hope for 5.

This is about 16 against a 10 or A.  Where I play they don't allow to surrender, so I have to hit or stay on a 16 against a 10 or A.

I've been hitting my 16s because others suggest you have the best odds hitting, but recently I read an article online, what he wrote made sense so now I'm a bit confused. He says to never hit on a 16 because if you hit on a 16 you'll win 25.23% of the time, bust 69.31% of the time, and push 5.46% of the time for a net loss of 44.08% of the time. If you stand on 16 you win 29.01% of the time, and lose 70.99% of the time for a net loss of 41.98%. So by standing on 16 instead of taking a hit, you cut your losses by 2.1%

What do you guys say?

The page http://wizardofodds.com/games/blackjack/strategy/4-decks/ shows the best action you can do in Blackjack. I don't have the knowledge to verify it, but according to it, you should hit if dealer stands on Soft 17 and you should stand if dealer hits on soft 17.
