How I teach people BS
i know how to count cards but i dont fully comprehend the entire basic strategy matrixes. will this hurt my chances of winning or should i not waste my time with all of the miniscule rules?
For many, the BS matrix can be daunting, particularly if you don't immediately see the patterns. Therefore, I use charts like the following which is the same as the matrix:
2 Deck, H17, DAS
9: double 2-6 else hit
10: double 2-9 else hit
11: double
12: stand 4-6 else hit
13-16: stand 2-6 else hit
17: stand
A,2: double 5-6 else hit
A,3 - A,5: double 4-6 else hit
A-6: double 3-6 else hit
A-7: double 2-6, hit 9-A else stand
A-8: double 6 else stand
2,2 - 3,3: split 2-7 else hit
4,4: split 5-6 else hit
5,5: double 2-9 else hit
6,6: split 2-7 else hit
7,7: split 2-8 else hit
8,8: split
9,9: split 2-6,8-9 else stand
10,10: stand
A,A: split
If you don't want to memorize index numbers for strategy deviations (and I don't blame you), learn REKO. There is only one index number.
