The most important rule is to hit stiffs until you have at least 17. Many players are less inclined to hit vs. a 7 than against a ten, which is backward. And as pointed out, standing will result in losing the hand 74% of the time. I believe that memorizing a standard basic strategy table is an easier way to learn than with this presentation. However, it\u2019s a good added learning tool to hammer in basic, which you must be able to play perfectly before advancing to card-counting strategies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.888casino.com\/blog\/playing-hands-against-7\"><strong><em>This article was written by Henry Tamburin in association with 888Casino.<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PLAYING YOUR HANDS AGAINST A DEALER\u2019S 7 UPCARD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a dealer shows a 7 upcard, she has about a 26% chance of busting and about a 74% chance of getting to a final hand that totals 17 through 21 (rule dependent). Because of the latter, we have to be more aggressive when we are dealt a stiff hand (hit rather than stand) and less aggressive when we are dealt a two-card soft hand (hit rather than double down).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What follows is the accurate blackjack playing strategy for any hand when the dealer shows a 7 upcard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately for blackjack players, the playing strategy against a casino dealer\u2019s 7 upcard is nearly the same for any number of decks of cards or mix of playing rules. There is one exception and you\u2019ll find it below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.888casino.com\/blog\/playing-hands-against-7\"><strong>Continue reading &#8230;<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is syndicated by the Las Vegas Advisor for the 888 casino group.
