Soft Hand Tips & Techniques for Blackjack

Hi this is Daniel on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we are going to be talking about soft hand strategies. Now a soft hand is any hand where there is a ace as it is being played as an 11. No matter what happens any card that is dealt will not cause the player to bust. Now the soft hand strategies are best to be played simply as being double down whenever the dealer has a low chance of winning. For example if you are dealt the soft 19 or 20 you should stand because that is probably a winning hand. On a soft 18, stand if the dealer is showing a 2, 7 or 8. Hit if the dealer is showing a 9, 10 or an ace. Double if the dealer is showing a 3-6. On soft 17, hit if the dealer is showing a 2, 7, 8, 9or 10 or even an ace. Double if the dealer is showing a 3-6. On a soft 15 or a 16. Hit if the dealer is showing a 2, 3 or a 7-10 or even an ace. Double if the dealer is showing a 4-6. On a soft 13 or 14 hit if the dealer is showing a 2-4 or a 7-10 or an ace. Double if the dealer is showing a 5 or a 6.
