Playing a soft 16 hand in Blackjack

    How would you play a soft sixteen hand at the Blackjack tables?  At least take a card (never stand on a soft 16) and double down if the dealer's up card is a 4, 5 or a 6.  If you are unable to double down if the card showing is a different card, you should hit your hand.
