I'm now at 13 on that hand, while the next card will become the first card of your next 8. You decide to hit again, and it comes up 5 to get to 19, where you stand.īut remember, since I doubled down and couldn't hit again, that 5 you got becomes part of my next 8 that I split originally. Because I doubled down, I can't hit again. But some people may choose to just hit.Ī 4 comes up. OK, so now I've split the 8's, and a 2 comes up on the first card so I have 10. Optimal blackjack strategy says you should split the 8's against a 7, but some people may choose to hold or just hit. Say we're all dealt 8-8 and the dealer is showing a 7. The dealers are dealing a real card, which is digitized and applied to your hand depending on what you've chosen to do. The same goes for splitting and doubling down. So, there's no collective playing with other players, even though you all have the same hand. Once you stand, the hand will continue for other plays who have hit, but not for you. Unlimited or Infinite Blackjack is when every player plays the same hand, and every player has the option to 'hit' or 'stand' at any time.
