16 vs Dealer 10

[Dschddny]

I read that when you have a 16 vs a dealer 10, you should stand if the TC is 0 or more. This doesn't make sense to me, specifically when the TC equals exactly 0. Isn't the basic strategy play to hit? If the TC is 0, shouldn't that equate to the basic strategy play?

Thanks!

it is actually >0, so even an RC of +1 makes this the right call. Now someone will say it is actually an RC of 2.43 or something to prove me wrong...smile

This is one of those plays that counting will help you with in a one deck game online. 4,4,6,2 vs 10 STAND

Could you (or someone else) please post the correct Ill 18 table?

Thank you very much!

I use a different index number for a few of these plays:

9 vs 7 +3
12 vs 6 -2
13 vs 2 -1
12 vs 2 +3

And you might make note that being off by +1/-1 on any one particular play, really doesn't matter!

So I don't know why I even brought it up.

Some you might want to add:

s19 vs 6 +1
s19 vs 5 +2
8 vs 6 +2
8 vs 5 +3
s18 vs 2 +1
s17 vs 2 >0 (otherwise hit.)

A,2 vs 5 never double, just hit.

ABRAHAM,

ARE YOU SAYING THAT ABOVE THESE COUNTS IT IS BETTER TO DOBLE ON A PAIR OF 4'S RATHER THAN SPLIT IN A SHOE GAME ? OR ARE THESE BASIC STARTEGY VARIATION FOR SINGLE DECK ?

Re: 8 VS 5,6

Where did I say that?

When some one says stand on 16 vs 10 when the count is > 0, does that mean don't split 8s?

You still split the 4,4 vs 5 or 6 in a DAS game. If the count is +2 or more then you would double down on 6,2 or 5,3.

Double Down on 8 vs 5 or 6 is basic strategy for single deck, and in a multiple deck game with a high enough positive count it is the move to make there.
