Do I hit or do I stand - what should I do now?  Could be a cool song… maybe we can put together a band and have songs based on casino games… any takers???  Please write to Don at online blackjack strategy dot net… Or maybe the next great playwright of the 21st Century… take a bow Mr Shakespeare… here comes some serious drama, with a touch of tragedy, comedy and irony to add spice!

Seriously though to hit or to stand… that is the question.

If I stand will the dealer have something better?  If I hit will I go bust?

Depends on how many cards the dealer has showing.  Check out some blackjack strategy charts to see what they say you should do.  Anything above 14 or maybe 15 - I stick and see if the dealer can beat me - put the pressure on him or her and see what they do.  I like transferring pressure, why should you have to feel the pressure all the time?

If the dealer has a few cards on the board then maybe I’ll take my chances and hit.  Its only blackjack, not the most difficult casino game…
