Not hitting when holding a soft 17 is a move that every online blackjack player must avoid. This barely shows the player’s strategy. Instead, it often results to disappointment.
Soft 17
dilemma
Many online blackjack players hesitate to ask for
another card whenever they have a soft 17. This is due to the fear of busting
or getting a card value of more than 21. While this move proves to be logical,
it tends to disregard the power of the Ace’s card.
Flexible
Ace
The Ace can take a value of 1 or 11. When holding a
soft hand, the player can always decide the value of the Ace card.
For example, during a soft 17, a player can always ask for another card and
give the Ace card a value of 1. Apparently, such situation does not really
compromise the player’s winning possibilities. Instead, it is the reverse that
happens.
By hitting, a player faces the possibility of
getting a hand value that is bigger than 17.
Meanwhile, standing, limits the player’s hand value
to 17.
Certain online
blackjack situations, are just way too intimidating that it often prevents
the player from strategizing.
However, if only the player can dig deeper into the
situation, he will see a great win ahead.
