Answer 3

A good player would.

Answer 4

well with my marked deck i always have the answer

Answer 5

Take it from a professional amateur gambler. YES! Never hit on 19. Those are rules of the road. You should only hit if you have less than 17. If you hit at a casino on 19 your probably going to have some angry peers at the table because that messes up everyone's game. At most casino's the dealers can't hit above 17 either. Yes it's good to get 21 but the idea isn't just to win for yourself but for the dealer to bust so that everyone at the table wins.  

Answer 6

usually  

Answer 7

yeah. unless the count is a -8 or something.

Answer 8

Definitely

Answer 9

I usually stop at 17. I only win a little more than half the time, but more than half is still winning, right? I mean unless, of course several people are in the game and there are a lot of high-value cards showing, but only in a single deck game.

Answer 10

The goal of black jack is to get 21 or closest to 21. Its kinda a game about taking chances and risks. It is a good idea to stay at 19 if you ever get the chance , but if you're feeling risky , pull that extra card! hope its an Ace or 2 though
