Learn the reason behind the move

Practice the decision

Work through eight example hands, choose an action and see why it fits the stated rules. No wagers, bankroll or account required.

Hand 1 of 8

4–8 decks · S17 · DAS · No surrender · Dealer peek

Your hand: hard 16 (10 + 6)

Dealer shows 10. What is the action?

Choose an action to reveal the explanation.

Eight hands, one rule set

This lesson uses four to eight decks, S17, double after split, no surrender and a dealer peek. Each hand is a starting two-card hand. Choose one answer, then reveal the explanation. The sequence is fixed so you can review the same learning points.

Learn from the explanation

The score counts correct first attempts. Repeated clicks do not add points. After the last hand, review the missed examples or restart the lesson. Read the rule line before answering; a different table can require a different decision.

Memorize relationships, not lucky outcomes

Learn where the action changes across a row rather than memorizing a story about one winning hand. A correct decision can lose and an incorrect decision can win. Feedback should therefore compare your choice with the rule-specific strategy, not with a simulated card result.
