Basic startegy more than one hand

[enyOne]

Hi!


There is some thing that make my confuse about basic strategy, and this is the effect of playin with more than one hand.


Here is an exel file, that I do a sim when I play with 2 hands one of 19 and the other of 16 when the dealer has 10.

the link.

I assumed infinity decks so I didn't calculated the effect of the out cards on the chance to get the same card.


I't seems that is better in this case to stand and not hit, but the basic strategy says hit (it makes sense because some sets like 7,10 or 7,A or 8,A etc, in one hand situation is the same if you stand or hit (the dealer wins and the second card dealt to the next round), but here is better to stand end let the dealer have 17 or 18 instead of 20 or 21 and lose both of the hands).


Is that true, or I'm missing something? If it's true does any one knows where can I find strategy tables for more than one hand?

It is my understanding that each hand is treated individually when it comes to basic strategy.

Can you explain why you think multiple hands matters?

I'm having a hard time understanding your post.

Why do you think infinity decks might be a bad idea when it comes to composition dependent strategies, particularly in your case?

There are composition dependent strategies, but pretty much in every case it's going to be a waste of time to learn them. If you're really curious I believe there is a composition dependent strategy in Griffin's Theory of Blackjack. You could further them to take into account two hands, but I've yet to see a reason to do so.

Edit: It would also be a metric assload of decisions to memorize.

Edit 2: I think you want nothing to do with composition information. Why do I do this to myself.

No offense, but I'm not clicking that link. Why would it matter if you have more than one hand in general, and especially in the case of an infinite deck?

The link is fine just hard to see.

Probably wouldn't make a difference with multiple players.

That is when multiple hands makes the most difference.
