Playign with Ace + 2 more cards (What to do?)

I'm new to 'serious' blackjack playing.

1st:
Dealer 4
Me A,2,2

2nd:
Dealer 7
Me A,2,4

How am I suppose to play these hands?

In the first hand, do I play my hand as a 15 or a (A,4)? If I play it has a 15 I should stand. If I play it as a (A,4), do I hit since I can't double.

In the second hand, do I play my hand as a 17 or a (A,6)? I stand with one hand and hit with the other.

TIA

Best answer for you is...

to open up a basic stategy chart from the "home" page of this site. Learn it before you go and play. In fact, don't even play until you have completely memorized the chart and can count a single deck in your hands in a maximum of 40 seconds.

learn basic strategy but

to answer your questions, there is absolutely no reason to stay on either hand. Look at your hands as a 5 and a 7, you can not bust but the dealer showing a 4 means that you would only win if the dealer busts and the dealer busts showing a 4 less than 40% of the time so try and improve your hands.
