🔈 Expert Tip - What Makes a Great Blackjack Hand?
If there’s one thing you should know before you start to play blackjack online, it’s how to know when you have a top tier hand. Here’s a look at three hands that will make you happy anytime you see them.
Blackjack
If you start with an ace and a 10-point card, then you have a natural 21, also known as a blackjack. This is an instant winner against anything other than a dealer blackjack and pays out at higher odds in most variants!
Hard 20
If you start with two cards that are each worth 10 points, you’ve got a hard 20, which is about as good as it gets outside of a blackjack. This hand will usually be a winner, and you’ll want to stand whenever you have a 20-point hand.
Hard 11
If you start with two cards that add up to 11 points, you’re in the best possible position to double down. Unless the dealer is showing an ace, you’ll usually want to get more chips in there and take advantage of your position!
