Just recieved the current issue of Blackjack Insider and it contained an article on subject. Wish it had been around when I started learning Basic. I contacted the originator-
www.deepnettech.com/article3.html
and got permission to share it with all those who would like to do well at blackjack but are scared off learning all the rules. These six rules should be learned in sequence and will generate better that 99% return at most games (naturally not at Park Place single deck). Since PERFECT Basic Strategy pays only slightly over 99.5% this is very-very good and will start you on the road to Basic.
Simplified Basic Strategy-
1)Dealer Rules(H17): Draw on 16 or less, stand on 17 or more. Exception: Hit soft 17. Never take insurance or even money.
2)Easy Splits: Always split aces and 8's.
3)Easy Stands: Versus dealers 2-6, stand on hard 12-16.
4)Easy Doubles: Double on 10 or 11 when your total is higher than the dealers up card.
5)Soft Doubles: Double all 18 and less soft hands against dealer 4-6.
6)More Splits: Split all pairs (except 4's, 5's and 10's) against dealer 2-7.
That's it!! Absolutely no reason to play slots when you should be able to master this in minutes and really enjoy gaming-not to mention the vastly improved odds.
For the whole article just go to the above link. <img src="https://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif">
