Frequently Asked Questions
How do I memorize basic strategy?
Start with hard totals (the most common hands), then soft totals, then pairs. Focus on the "boundary" hands where the action changes — like hard 12 vs dealer 2–3 (hit) vs 4–6 (stand). Daily practice with this quiz is the fastest way to commit it to memory.
What accuracy should I aim for?
95%+ before playing at a real casino. Professional advantage players maintain 99%+ accuracy. The most commonly missed situations are soft totals, surrender decisions, and pair splitting edge cases.
What rules does this quiz use?
This quiz uses standard 4–8 deck strategy with the dealer standing on soft 17. Double after split is allowed, and late surrender is available. These are the most common rules in US casinos.
Why is the quiz showing surrender as an option?
Late surrender is offered at many casinos and is part of complete basic strategy. In situations where surrender is correct (like 16 vs 10), it saves you about 50 cents per dollar compared to hitting. The quiz marks the correct answer as "Rh" — surrender if available, otherwise hit.
