Chaoman said:also, in the game i was dealt an 8 and a 4, which adds up to a 12
The dealers up card was a 2
I hit stand and the game said i was wrong. Which is correct, mensa or the game?
Chaoman said:OK IM CONFUSED :)
Basically if i have a hard 16 and the dealer shows a 10, what should i do?
Some people tell me to stand while others tell me to hit.
The chart on Bj21 says to hit with a 16 vs 10.
The chart in my book says to stand / surrender with a 16 vs 10.
which one is right?
And if surrender IS offered should i surrender on 16 vs 10?
This is for basic strategy with no knowledge of the count.
Thanks again!

I'm thinking these posters are quoting specialized charts,not the general charts .
Either that,or the books publishers have a bunch of shill reviews out on the net.
I doubt Mensa would allow their name to be attached to a shoddy book,although I'm not sure about that.
Chaoman said:so basically, if i am not counting,
i surrender with a 16 vs 9, 10, A
and surrender a 15 vs 10
if surrender is not allowed, i hit on both correct?
