Most basic strategy tables indicate that I should hit a 12 against a two. But what about the 4th card? Say I start off with a 2 and a 4, then hit and get a 6: should I hit again? What about being on 14 (five cards: 2,2,2,5 and 3) or 15 or 16 against a 9 or a T, do I keep on hitting. I'm not practiced enough to count, yet. Does that make a difference to my hitting strategy for those situations.What if the deck is neutral?
