Jul 24, 2015 The 1-3-2-6 blackjack betting system is an interesting strategy. With this system you are risking a small amount to win a much larger amount, if you complete the betting cycle. You can lose 6 times at the worst level, the second bet, and still completely cover yourself by winning all 4 bets of the cycle one time.

I find your blackjack strategy card very confusing. Sorry.

Two comments on your BJ strategy card:
- go to www.blackjackinfo.com to generate your BJ basic strategy (see section for BJ basic strategy engine)
- spend the $20 and get Don S.'s strategy card set for 1D, 2D, and multidek and you will never have to worry about strategy cards for BJ for conventional BJ games.

Better yet, go to WoO and print out the correct strategies for each game for FREE.

That may be true, but with Don's set, it pocket size, and has sturdy construction and is water resistant.
And bj21.com is selling them for $16.99 with free shipping. http://bj21.com/ads/ultimate_bj_cards/ad.html
You can say I am old school and like to have hard copies without the need to reprint everything.

You have an EV > 0 for the hand. It has nothing to do with the strategy; strategy is always raise Q64 or higher, and that's it.

A goal for this year is for me to complete my booklet on complete strategies for all the major table games and to sell it. I don't think it will do very well, but I had almost completed it three years ago and has been a side project for a while.

Introduction

To use the basic strategy, look up your hand along the left vertical edge and the dealer's up card along the top. In both cases an A stands for ace. From top to bottom are the hard totals, soft totals, and splittable hands. There are two charts depending on whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17.

On its way from a wild mining camp to a respectable town by then, Poker Flat has a minister and a schoolmarm brought in. The richest people around by are Oakhurst and the Duchess. Falling head over heels in love with the new schoolmarm (Muir), Oakhurst enrolls an unwilling Luck in her school, and the profits at his gambling halls start spiraling down. Aug 15, 2019 The Outcasts of Poker Flat Summary. The story is located in Poker Flat, a small Californian community. Certain inhabitants of Poker Flat feel that the community is going down the hill. They have lost a lot of money and the morals of people are thought to be sinking. https://insurenew.amebaownd.com/posts/19642582. The Outcasts of Poker Flat On the morning of November 23, 1850, a gambler named John Oakhurst walks through Poker Flat, a small mining town in the American West. The town’s “moral atmosphere” has changed, and Oakhurst knows that the town is “after somebody.”. “The Outcasts of Poker Flat” is an unflinching look at the way we distinguish between those who are good and those who are not. Harte suggests that the line between good and evil is not nearly as sharp as we often think. In the end, we must understand that nature makes no distinction between the two in whom she takes and whom she doesn’t.

Never take insurance or 'even money.'
If there is no row for splitting (fives and tens), then look up your hand as a hard total (10 or 20).
If you can't split because of a limit on re-splitting, then look up your hand as a hard total.

If you play a mixture of six-deck games, some where the dealer hits a soft 17, and some where he stands, and you only wish to memorize one strategy, I would recommend you memorize the one where the dealer stands on soft 17. The cost in errors due to playing the wrong strategy is 2.3 times higher playing a stand on soft 17 game, with the hit on 17 strategy, than vise versa.

Basic Strategy in Text

For the benefit of my blind readers, here is the above strategy in text form, when the dealer stands on soft 17 and surrender is allowed. To use the strategy, start at the top, and follow the first rule that applies.

Surrender

Surrender hard 16 (but not a pair of 8s) vs. dealer 9, 10, or A, and hard 15 vs. dealer 10.

Split

Always split aces and 8s.
Never split 5s and 10s.
Split 2s and 3s against a dealer 4-7, and against a 2 or 3 if DAS is allowed.
Split 4s only if DAS is allowed and the dealer shows a 5 or 6.
Split 6s against a dealer 3-6, and against a 2 if DAS is allowed.
Split 7s against a dealer 2-7.
Split 9s against a dealer 2-6 or 8-9.

Double
