Ultimately, the game is a contest between you and the dealer, where the goal is to have a hand closer to 21 than the dealer\u2019s without going over. Number cards are worth their face value, face cards are worth 10 points, and aces can be worth either 1 or 11 points, depending on what\u2019s most favorable for your hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-decisions-decisions\"><strong>Decisions, Decisions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re at the table staring at your two cards, a 10 and a 6 \u2014 now what? First, you\u2019ll need to consider the dealer\u2019s upcard. Say, in this situation, it\u2019s a 7. Do you hit and hope for a card that doesn\u2019t push you over 21, or do you stand and pray that the dealer busts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where blackjack strategy comes into play. The general rule of thumb is this: if you have a hard 16 (no ace,) and the dealer\u2019s upcard is 7 or higher, you should consider hitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While hitting on 16 against a strong dealer card may seem counterintuitive, statistics and probabilities back this strategy. Remember, the dealer must play by specific rules and there\u2019s a solid chance they might bust if they\u2019re sitting on a seemingly strong hand. Hitting on 16 gives you the opportunity to improve your hand and potentially outlast the dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019re holding a hard 16, and the dealer is flashing a 2 through 6, the decision-making dynamics shift. In this scenario, the odds suggest you stand. Why? Because the dealer has a higher chance of busting when their upcard is a low one. So, go ahead, take a deep breath, and stand tall on your 16. Let the dealer sweat it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, reading the dealer&#8217;s upcard is a crucial blackjack skill. It can give you valuable insight into the potential strength of the dealer\u2019s hand and guide your decisions. Here are some tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-know-the-dealer-s-rules\"><strong>Know the Dealer\u2019s Rules<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different casinos and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/casino\/c\/livedealer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>live dealer casino games<\/strong><\/a> may have slightly different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/blog\/important-blackjack-dealer-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>rules for the dealer<\/strong><\/a>. Familiarize yourself with the specific rules at the table you\u2019re playing, such as whether the dealer hits or stands on a soft 17 (a hand including an ace that counts as 11.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recognize-strong-and-weak-upcards\"><strong>Recognize Strong and Weak Upcards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, the dealer\u2019s upcard can be categorized as strong (7 through ace) or weak (2 through 6.) As mentioned, a strong upcard indicates a higher likelihood that the dealer will make a strong hand. Conversely, a weak upcard suggests a higher chance of the dealer busting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stay-mindful-of-probabilities\"><strong>Stay Mindful of Probabilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember the probabilities of various outcomes based on the dealer\u2019s upcard. Blackjack is a game of odds, and understanding the likelihood of the dealer busting or forming a strong hand should guide your decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stay-calm-and-be-patient\"><strong>Stay Calm and Be Patient<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reading the dealer\u2019s upcard is just one aspect of blackjack strategy. Stay calm, patient and focused on the bigger picture. Don\u2019t let a single hand or dealer upcard dictate your entire gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-art-of-doubling-down\">The Art of Doubling Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2-.jpg\" alt=\"People placing bets around a blackjack table, with playing cards arranged on the table\" class=\"wp-image-13336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2-.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2--300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2--768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2--1024x630.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2-.jpg?w=130 130w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2-.jpg?w=390 390w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2-.jpg?w=520 520w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2-.jpg?w=650 650w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2-.jpg?w=909 909w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2-.jpg?w=1170 1170w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/04084844\/Body-Image-2-.jpg?w=450 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doubling down is a power move for the daring. It allows you to double your original bet after receiving your first two cards, but you must agree to hit just one more card. When facing a 16 with the dealer showing a 7 or higher, doubling down might sound like a heroic feat, but it\u2019s probably not your best bet. In fact, basic strategy advises against doubling down on 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-blackjack-strategy-mistakes\"><strong>Top Blackjack Strategy Mistakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doubling down on 16 is a common blackjack mistake (although it occasionally pays off, so be sure to listen to your gut when making decisions in the moment.) Here are a few more strategy mistakes to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chasing-losses\"><strong>Chasing Losses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s easy to fall into the trap of chasing losses, especially when faced with a string of bad hands. But remember, luck is a fickle friend, and chasing losses often leads to deeper trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-not-paying-attention-to-table-rules\"><strong>Not Paying Attention to Table Rules<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each blackjack table comes with its own set of rules, like when you can double down or whether surrendering is an option. Ignoring these rules can cost you dearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, it\u2019s a good idea to embrace the wisdom of basic strategy, trust the numbers and just enjoy the game. May your cards be favorable and your decisions shrewd as you navigate the blackjack world \u2014 and be sure to experiment as you develop the best blackjack betting strategy for your unique playing style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-play-live-dealer-casino-games-at-borgata-online\"><strong>Play Live Dealer Casino Games at Borgata Online<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Borgata Online promises a diverse menu of online casino games, including online blackjack live dealer games, other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/casino\/c\/tablegames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>casino table games<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/casino\/c\/jackpotslots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>jackpot slots<\/strong><\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/mobileportal\/register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Register<\/strong><\/a> when you\u2019re ready to play casino online and explore the platform\u2019s full offering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13337,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-casino","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","no-featured-image-padding"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.8 (Yoast SEO v27.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How To Know When To Hit on Sixteen - Borgata Online<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hit or stand?
