Playing a hard 14 hand in Blackjack
How should you play your hard fourteen hand at a Blackjack table? Always hit your hand if the dealer's up card is a 7, 8, 9, Ace or a ten card. If the dealer's up card is any other card you should always stand on your hand. By hitting your hand when you are suppose to you will have approximately 38.5% chance of improving your hand, a 46.1% chance of busting and a 15.4% chance of neither improving your hand nor busting.
