Question 1

What is the value of cards in live blackjack?

Accepted Answer

In blackjack, numbered cards (2-10) are worth their face value, face cards (King, Queen, Jack) are worth 10, and Aces can be worth 1 or 11, depending on what benefits the player's hand.

Question 2

Should I always aim for 21 in blackjack variations?

Accepted Answer

While the objective is to get as close to 21 as possible, reaching that exact total is unnecessary. The goal is to beat the dealer's hand without going over 21. Sometimes, standing with a lower total is better if the dealer has a weak upcard.

Question 3

When should I hit or stand?

Accepted Answer

Deciding to hit or stand depends on your hand total and the dealer's upcard. Generally, players often hit if their hand total is 11 or less and typically stand if it's 17 or more. However, it's crucial to consider the specific rules and strategies for different scenarios.
