Card Counting
Each card has a specific numeric value. Cards from 2 to 10 are worth face value. Face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are valued at 10. Aces are worth 1 or 11, at the player's discretion. Suits, such as clubs or hearts, have no significance in Blackjack.
The basic blackjack strategy is the optimum way to play your hand if you are not counting cards. This strategy is derived by computer simulation where the computer deals out millions of hands, plays them in all possible ways.
If allowed, surrender (where a player may forfeit half his bet and decide not to play the original hand against the dealer) hard 15 against a dealer's 10, and 16 (but not 8's) against a dealer's 9, 10 or Ace.
