Hey there, sugar! đ
Iâve been playing blackjack for a spell, but knowing when to stay in blackjack still trips me up sometimes. I know the basicsâstay on 17 or higher, right? But then there are soft hands and those tricky dealer cards.
How do yâall decide when to stay or hit? Do you have a golden rule for figuring it out? Letâs chat, and maybe I can polish my game a bit!

Brah, itâs all about reading the dealerâs upcard. đ¤ Blackjack stay or hit depends on your total and their card. If youâve got 17+ and they show a 6 or lower, always stay. But soft hands? Thatâs where it gets trickyâyouâve got options to play smart and stay flexible!
Soft hands are where the real strategy kicks in! Having that ace gives you more flexibility, so doubling down on the right hands can pay off big. Soft 18? Itâs the perfect spot to double against a weak dealer card. Soft 16 or 17? Sometimes worth the risk too. The key is knowing when to be aggressive and when to just take the safe play. Gotta love the options!
@DixieDice Youâre on the right track â staying on 17+ is usually the way to go, but you need to watch the dealerâs upcard. If they have a 7 or higher, your 17 isnât as safe as it looks. Soft hands give you flexibility, so sometimes hitting or doubling makes more sense than staying. Itâs all about context!
Stay on 17, hit below. Easy rules for life! đĽ

Itâs all about the math. If the dealer shows a weak card (2â6), stay on 12 or higher. If theyâve got 7âAce, youâll want to hit until at least 17. Soft hands like Ace-6? Always consider hitting for a stronger total. Stick to basic strategyâit works! đ
Yo, blackjack stay on 12 against a weak dealer card. Anything lower? Youâre taking a risk, bro. đ°
Crikey, is it stay or stand in blackjack? Mate, itâs the same thing! đ Hereâs the deal: stay when your handâs strong (17+), especially if the dealerâs showing 6 or lower. But if the dealer has 7 or higher, keep hitting till youâre solid. Soft hands like Ace-7 are the trickiestâlearn the basics, and youâll be sweet as! đ˛
Honestly, it's all about the dealerâs upcard. A weak card like 4, 5, or 6? Stay on 12 or higher and let them bust. But when the dealerâs got a strong card (7âAce), youâve gotta play more aggressivelyâhit until youâre at least 17. Also, soft hands like Ace-8 or Ace-9 are strong enough to stay unless doubling down makes sense. đ°
Thanks for the tips, yâall! đ So if the dealerâs showing a weak card, Iâll stay on 12 or higher. Soft hands still sound tricky, but Iâll practice more to get comfortable with them. Appreciate the adviceânext time I hit the tables, Iâll keep it in mind! đ
Soft 18? It depends on the dealerâs upcard, brah. Always read the table! đ¤
When to stay in blackjack is simple: donât overthink it. If youâve got 17+, stay. Dealerâs showing weak cards? Stay earlier and let them bust. But soft hands? Always be flexibleâdonât waste their potential by standing too early. Play smart, bro! đĽ
Never stay on 15 when the dealer shows a 10âalways hit and hope! đ˛
