Blackjack 8 Deck Basic Strategy List

For example, we said that D stands for double down (or Hit, if not allowed). If you are playing a D9 game where you can double down only on hands with value of 9, 10 or 11, you won't be able to double on an 8 versus a dealer's 6 like the table says. Instead, as the legend proposes, you should hit it.

Using these tables is completely straightforward – check the value of your hand, check what up-card the dealer holds and look where in the table the two conditions coincide.

Also, these rules apply to whatever number of cards your hand consists of. If, for example, you have a hard 7 versus the dealer's 7, according to the table, you should hit the hand. If you draw a 4 for a new hard 11, you should next double down, as the table shows.
