1.) If the dealer's up card is 7 or higher, continue to draw cards until you have a hard count of at least 17 or higher, or a soft count of 18 or higher. A hard count means you have no Aces that can count as 1 or 11. A soft count means you do have an Ace.

2.) If the dealer's up card is 6 or lower, draw cards until you have at least 12. Stop when you have 12 or higher.

3.) Double down when your first two cards total 10 or 11 IF the dealer has a 9 or lower.

4.) Always split aces and eights. Do not split any other pairs.

5.) Do not take insurance.
