2 Deck Blackjack

BLACKJACK BETTING SYSTEM STRATEGY

BASIC STRATEGY - 1, 2, or 3 DECKS

Finding a blackjack table that uses 1, 2, or 3 decks is ideal but is becoming a rarity in the casinos these days. Using a Blackjack For 1, 2, Or 3 Decks Basic Strategy gives your play structure for your blackjack game. This is the type of number of decks you will be hard to find in most casinos. So this is the basic strategy you would want to learn after you master the 4 or More Deck Basic Strategy.

The good thing about basic strategy is you do not have to make any decisions. All playing actions are already decided for you. The Basic Strategy for a one, two or three decks is a perfect example.

The image on the left is a color coded card that shows you exactly what action to take in every situation. The top line in gold is the dealers up card. This is indicated by the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10F, and A. The 10F indicates the card is either a ten, jack, queen, or king. The A indicateds the card is an ace.

The gold boxes on the far left indicate the player's two cards or the total of the player's two cards. The numbers are listed as 9, 10, 11, 12 ,13 ,14, 15, 16, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, AA, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, and FF. The numbers 17, 18, 19, and 20 are not listed because it is well known that you will always stand on these sets of hard numbers. The 9, for example is two cards that total a hard nine (2,7)(3,6) and (4,5). A2 indicates your hand has an ace and a two. 22 indicates your hand has a pair of twos. FF indicates your hand has two cards that are either a ten, jack, queen, or king.

The color code with Green and a D indicates you should double down on your wager. The color code with Blue and a H indicates you should take a hit. The color code with Red and a S indicates you should stand. The color code with Yellow and a P indicates you should split your hand.

DETAILED EXPLANATION:

The second basic strategy you must learn is the Basic Strategy for 1, 2, or 3 Decks.This strategy is very similar to the 4 or More Decks strategy.You will usually find blackjack tables that use 1, 2, or 3 decks have higher minimum bet requirements.

The play action you will take in the strategy in the 1, 2, or 3 Decks is different from the 4 or More Decks strategy when you have a hard 11, A2, A3, A6, A7, A8, 22, 33, 44, and 66.

Spin to win wheel online. All the other hands will be the same action as you take in the 4 or More Decks strategy.

Here is an explanation of the 1, 2, or 3 decks strategy you see in the image above.

Everything is the same except when you have a hard 11, A2, A3, A6, A7, A8, 22, 33, 44, and 66 but we will go through the process in its entirety as done in the 4 or More Decks strategy.

The numbers in the first row at the very top line in orange represents the dealer's up card.The numbers in the first column at the very left in orange represent your two cards that were dealt to you.

The following represents the action you will take when it comes to your turn:

D = Double down and has a green background.

H = Hit and has a blue background.

P = Split and has a yellow background.

S = Stand (or stay) and has a red background.

There is also three terms you must understand.The first one is a soft hand.This is a hand with an ace that is not a blackjack.A hand with an ace two is referred to as a 'soft thirteen' this means your hand could be read as a total of thirteen or three.

The second term is a hard hand.This is a hand without an ace or a matching card.A hand with two and a three can be referred to as a hard five.A hand with a two and a four is a hard six.And a hand with

The third term is a face card.This is represented as an 'F' in the strategy card.The face card can be a ten, jack, queen, or king.

There are three player hands not represented in this chart. These hands are a hard five, six, or seven.To be more specific they will be a two and a three (5), a two and a four (6), a two and a five (7), or a three and a four (7).

When you have any of these three hard hands (total of 5, 6, or 7) your action will be to alwayshit.

It is also important to understand that your first action may require you to take another action.For example, you have a two and a three in your hand.You have a hard five so your action will be to take a hit.The dealer gives you another two.This now gives you a total of seven (hard seven) and your action will be to hit.

Another situation where your first action requires you to take another action is when you have a pair in your hand other then two aces or two tens/face cards.If your action requires you to split the pair and your third card pairs up that card you will split again.For example you have a pair of sixes in your hand and the dealer's up card is a six your action will be to split the new pair of sixes once again.Repeat this process as many times as necessary.It is not unusual for you to be required to split your hand several times during this play.

The first eight player's hands represented in this strategy chart are a total of 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16.These are also referred to as hard hands.So you will now call these hands a hard 9, a hard 10, a hard 11, a hard 12, a hard 13, a hard 14, a hard 15, and a hard 16.

Other hands not shown on the 4 or more deck strategy chart are a player's hard seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen.When you have any of these three hard hands your action will be to alwaysstand.

A hard seventeen would be when you have a seven and a ten/face card or an eight and a nine in your hand.

A hard eighteen would be when you have an eight and a ten/face card in your hand.

A hard nineteen would be when you have a nine and a ten/face card in your hand.

Always stand (or stay) and collect on a blackjack.

DETAILED EXPLANATION:

The second basic strategy you must learn is the Basic Strategy for 1, 2, or 3 Decks.This strategy is very similar to the 4 or More Decks strategy.You will usually find blackjack tables that use 1, 2, or 3 decks have higher minimum bet requirements.

The play action you will take in the strategy in the 1, 2, or 3 Decks is different from the 4 or More Decks strategy when you have a hard 11, A2, A3, A6, A7, A8, 22, 33, 44, and 66.

Spin to win wheel online. All the other hands will be the same action as you take in the 4 or More Decks strategy.

Here is an explanation of the 1, 2, or 3 decks strategy you see in the image above.

Everything is the same except when you have a hard 11, A2, A3, A6, A7, A8, 22, 33, 44, and 66 but we will go through the process in its entirety as done in the 4 or More Decks strategy.

The numbers in the first row at the very top line in orange represents the dealer's up card.The numbers in the first column at the very left in orange represent your two cards that were dealt to you.

The following represents the action you will take when it comes to your turn:

D = Double down and has a green background.

H = Hit and has a blue background.

P = Split and has a yellow background.

S = Stand (or stay) and has a red background.

There is also three terms you must understand.The first one is a soft hand.This is a hand with an ace that is not a blackjack.A hand with an ace two is referred to as a 'soft thirteen' this means your hand could be read as a total of thirteen or three.

The second term is a hard hand.This is a hand without an ace or a matching card.A hand with two and a three can be referred to as a hard five.A hand with a two and a four is a hard six.And a hand with

The third term is a face card.This is represented as an 'F' in the strategy card.The face card can be a ten, jack, queen, or king.

There are three player hands not represented in this chart. These hands are a hard five, six, or seven.To be more specific they will be a two and a three (5), a two and a four (6), a two and a five (7), or a three and a four (7).

When you have any of these three hard hands (total of 5, 6, or 7) your action will be to alwayshit.

It is also important to understand that your first action may require you to take another action.For example, you have a two and a three in your hand.You have a hard five so your action will be to take a hit.The dealer gives you another two.This now gives you a total of seven (hard seven) and your action will be to hit.

Another situation where your first action requires you to take another action is when you have a pair in your hand other then two aces or two tens/face cards.If your action requires you to split the pair and your third card pairs up that card you will split again.For example you have a pair of sixes in your hand and the dealer's up card is a six your action will be to split the new pair of sixes once again.Repeat this process as many times as necessary.It is not unusual for you to be required to split your hand several times during this play.

The first eight player's hands represented in this strategy chart are a total of 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16.These are also referred to as hard hands.So you will now call these hands a hard 9, a hard 10, a hard 11, a hard 12, a hard 13, a hard 14, a hard 15, and a hard 16.

Other hands not shown on the 4 or more deck strategy chart are a player's hard seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen.When you have any of these three hard hands your action will be to alwaysstand.

A hard seventeen would be when you have a seven and a ten/face card or an eight and a nine in your hand.

A hard eighteen would be when you have an eight and a ten/face card in your hand.

A hard nineteen would be when you have a nine and a ten/face card in your hand.

Always stand (or stay) and collect on a blackjack.
