Playing a soft 14 hand in Blackjack
What is the correct strategy for playing a soft fourteen hand at the Blackjack tables online? Well that depends on the type of blackjack game you are playing and the dealer's up card. If the dealer's up card is a 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10 or an Ace, you should hit your hand. If the dealer has an 5 or a 6 you should double down. If the dealer's up card is a 4, you should hit if you are playing Atlantic City or European Blackjack and double down if you are playing Vegas Strip or Vegas Downtown blackjack.
