I begin with the OPP card counting system since it’s extremely easy to use. Card counting is a casino card game strategy used primarily in the blackjack family of casino games to determine whether the next hand is likely to give a probable advantage to the player or to the dealer.On This PageIntroduction
To use the basic strategy, look up your hand along the left vertical edge and the dealer’s up card along the top. In both cases an A stands for ace. From top to bottom are the hard totals, soft totals, and splittable hands. There are two charts depending on whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17.
Other basic strategy rules.
*Never take insurance or ’even money.’
*If there is no row for splitting (fives and tens), then look up your hand as a hard total (10 or 20).
*If you can’t split because of a limit on re-splitting, then look up your hand as a hard total, except aces. In the extremely unlikely event you have a pair of aces you can’t re-split and drawing to split aces is allowed, then double against a 5 or 6, otherwise hit.
Ideally, the basic strategy shows the play which, on average, will result in the greatest win or the least loss per initial hand played. The way I usually go about this is to look at the initial 2-card hands only. Generally, this will result in the overall best play. However, soft 18 against a dealer ace when the dealer stands on soft 17 provides the only known exception that I am aware of for any number of decks. As my blackjack appendix 9 shows, a 2-card soft 18 vs A has an expected value of hitting of -0.100359, and of standing -0.100502. So with two cards it is very slightly better to hit. However, not all soft 18’s are composed of two cards. The more the cards in the player’s hand the more the odds favor standing. Simulations show that if forced to always hit or always stand, it is better to stand. I would like to thank Don Schlesinger for bringing this unusual play to my attention.Written by:Michael Shackleford
Penetration in blackjack, or how far down into the pack the dealer goes before shuffling, is extremely important. I always knew it was important, but I learned from the mass of simulations I have done that penetration is even more important than I had originally realized.
The reason penetration is so important is that there are occasions when your advantage gets very high — say 5% or more — are always toward the end of the pack. If penetration is lousy, or if a deck or two has already been used before you start counting, you are not going to get a situation of very high advantage. And situations of very high advantage are what you should be looking for.Two-deck Example
Here is an example of the importance of penetration. You can get similar numbers yourself with blackjack software. Your advantage is 4.8% or more at true counts of +8 or more. For one player at the table in a two-deck game, that count per deck occurs 0.7% of the time with lousy 52-card penetration, 3% of the time with good 76-card penetration, and 4% of the time with excellent 82-card penetration.Wonging Shoe GamesCard Counting Double Deck Blackjack Game
As mentioned earlier, the effect on your win rate is the same as if cards already dealt but not counted were behind the cut card and would not be used. For example, sitting down to play in a six-deck game with one deck cut off and one deck already played but uncounted is the same as sitting down at a six-deck game with two decks cut off. Six decks shuffled and one cut off is playable, but six shuffled and two cut off is a waste of time unless the rules are so good that you have an edge with basic strategy alone. Such a rule set is extremely rare nowadays.Double Deck
On double deck, penetration is so important that if you are in a casino where there are big differences from dealer to dealer on penetration, you ought to make sacrifices to play against a dealer who gives the best penetration. For example, in double deck you should rather play at a table with a couple of other players and cards dealt almost all the way out than heads-up with a shuffle after only half the cards are used. If a dealer who has been giving excellent penetration gets switched to another table, and the next dealer does not give as good penetration, you too switch to that other table after waiting a few minutes so it isn’t so obvious to pit personnel.Casinos to AvoidCard Counting Double Deck Blackjack Card Game
In many casinos, every dealer gives bad penetration. Do not even bother to play blackjack at those casinos. If you happen to see a big excess of small cards on the first round after a shuffle at such a casino, jump in and play until the count goes negative. But keep telling yourself you are wasting your time because the shuffle will come too early, robbing you of the rounds with the most profit potential.
Penetration is one of the many factors of game quality listed in Current Blackjack News.

Why avoid casinos with bad penetration if you’ve been burned out of many places already and have little to no alternative options? Using huge bet spreads that are almost guaranteed to get the floor’s attention is almost always an alternative option. Blackjack Apprenticeship members of the Church Team played super aggressively like that in some casinos. Ken Uston justified it once at Circus Circus, pretending to be a Hoover Dam worker successfully, and many other players did that successfully as well. Double Deck Blackjack Basic Strategy
