Player hand statistics

[KenSmith]

I got this request via email, and don't have the information at hand...

By percentage, what are the players final hands by percentage of the 7 possibles,21 20,19,18,17,16/12, and break. ex; a 21 = 18 percent, a 20 = 14 percent ad so on. ( i do have the dealers percentages )

Obviously, the answer will depend on the strategy the player uses, so I'm assuming that the question is intended for a basic strategy player. I would also assume that you should ignore any hand where either the dealer or the player has blackjack.

Anyone have this data already?

How would anyone have that data? It's possible to do for the dealer since they have a prescribed rule of when to hit,but a player could hit a 19 and bust.

 

[KenSmith]

Right. That's why I specified basic strategy. The asker of the question didn't make that distinction, and it is unclear if they understand why it matters.

 

[shadroch]

Gotcha.

I haven't checked this but it may be right. It's a zipped console app I made by plucking out a few items from my td program. Input shoe comp, hand total, soft or hard hand, soft standing number, and hard standing number to output hand probabilities. You can use the same shoe comp with different soft or hard hand total, ssn, and hsn by choosing yes to continue after the probabilities have been displayed. If you want another shoe comp, exit and restart the program.

Useful little app. Thanks k_c.

There's a Table 4.1 in BJ Attack giving final player totals I think for a 6D strip game playing BS if that does any good.
