Ooh 20 is good. Stayyyy.

@Angelus: Nah, that's how I think about it too. I don't have the strategy chart memorized so the "add 10" rule usually works. :)

Also this hand suuuuucks. But we gotta hit :/

@Angelus: It's an oversimplification, but it does help illustrate the logic.

Ahh can't compete with that hand. We'd have lost anyway drawing that K. :P

Assume the facedown card is a 10. So Vanora's current hand is 14. Her draw could be anything, but the only way she beats us is if it's 4, 5, 6, or 7.

When I said that 10 is the most common card value, I meant that you can think about it as if the dealer always has a 10 facedown. With 14, 15, or 16, they'll have to hit and bust about half the time. But if they have 17 or higher, they'll stay on that.

We should stay!

When the dealer has middle cards like 4, 5, 6, we can expect them to bust pretty often so we can hang back. If she has high cards like 9, 10, A, we need to be more aggressive and hit.

Dealer is unlikely to bust out with a high card showing.

Let's hit.

Higher this time.

@Mousy: I'm glad I'm not alone <3

Higher!

@Totalanimefan: I... yeah. :(

@littlewhitedragonlet: I should be looking at the pictures, that would probably help. x_x

@Totalanimefan: Not really, I just keep mistaking J for 3. :P
