How to read this chart

  • D/HDouble if allowed, otherwise hit
  • D/SDouble if allowed, otherwise stand
  • HHit
  • PSplit
  • P/HSplit if allowed, otherwise hit
  • R/HSurrender if allowed, otherwise hit
  • R/PSurrender if allowed, otherwise split
  • R/SSurrender if allowed, otherwise stand
  • SStand

Columns are the dealer upcard; T stands for any ten-value card (10, J, Q, K). Slash notation shows the fallback when the preferred action is not legal — for example D/H means double if allowed, otherwise hit.
