Hand analyzer
Select your two dealt cards and the dealer's upcard, then deal. Jack, Queen and King all count as 10. The settings below override the site's default table rules on this page only.
Your two cards
Dealer's upcard
Cards already dealt from the shoe
Mark cards you've seen leave the shoe - other players' hands, the dealer's earlier rounds. Your own two cards and the dealer's upcard are removed automatically. Six decks means 24 of each rank. With nothing marked, this page uses the same full-shoe model as the rest of the site; with cards marked, all odds are recomputed from the remaining shoe's frequencies.
Three hands worth trying
12 against a dealer 3. Most players stand on any 12 against a small card. The numbers show this one is a genuine coin flip: hitting and standing are separated by about one hundredth of a bet, and hitting comes out ahead. Only a 10 busts you, and 12 wins almost nothing by standing unless the dealer breaks.
Ace,7 against a dealer 9. Soft 18 feels like a made hand, and standing on it against a strong upcard is one of the most common mistakes in the game. Deal it in the analyzer and you will see that 18 simply loses to the 19s the dealer makes from a 9, while hitting a hand that cannot bust recovers enough value to be clearly better.
9,9 against a dealer 7. The pair chart says split 9s against 2 through 6 and against 8 and 9, but stand against a 7. The reason appears in the numbers: your 18 beats the 17 the dealer most often makes from a 7, so the hand is already a winner and splitting it only puts more money on a weaker position.
