Just wondering what is the best software for PC or Smartphone APP to test and learn basic strategy, that can be adjusted for any rules.

I'm curious as to how you found your way to this forum and are asking that question.

I'm curious as to how you found your way to this forum and are asking that question.

I found this forum via internet search or possibly from BJ21, can't remember. I asked the question I asked here because this is a BJ software forum and I assumed my question would be applicable here. I am just looking for the best software to help another person to learn basic strategy. I am using the drill charts from Playing Blackjack as a Business to help my friend learn just as I did when I learned it myself decades ago. Just looking for something more modern.

Personally, I use CVBJ (NOT the 'blueprint' version). Also use CVCX and CVData.

CVBJ is more for drills and also to practice game-simulation conditions. CVCX and CVData are different but complimentary. The latter two allow you to set up simulation condtions that are run on the computer, allowing you to test for the impact of various rules, bet ramps, etc.

This software can be set for basically any strategy you choose....and probably for some strategies you have not heard of.

All of this being said, your original post refers only to Basic Strategy. From the standpoint of learning BS (and practicing), under a variety of rule variations, you want to get CVBJ. CVBJ has the apparatus to practice and drill. The other pieces (CVCX/CVData) allow you to set up and run simulations, but do NOT allow you to drill and practice.

It sounds like you want CVBJ to start with. If you decide to move beyond basic strategy and begin counting, you will want the CVCX and CVData pieces.

There are iPhone versions of the software, but I'm a bigger fan of the PC versions.

I don't know of any decent modern apps specifically for BS. I imagine they exist, but I've not used any of them. I remember bringing a BS card to the casino and the dealer and pit making fun of me. I went home and wrote everything down on index cards. i.e. one side would say "10 vs. 10" and the other side would say, "Double 9 and below, hit against 10 or A." It only took an hour or two to learn, then quickly thumb through to refresh before sitting at the tables.

I have become a little more sophisticated in my flashcard making. I found this app called Cram that allows you to make flashcards on your phone.

A very good software for PC you can try this website: https://www.blackjackinfo.com/blackj...ategy-trainer/

They have a basic strategy trainer there.

I like the hitorsplit.com web site... It has all variants (number of decks, rules, peek or no peek) of Blackjack and Spanish.

It doesn't work on my android phone, but works well on my PC.

I also made an App for android phones that has all the double and multi-deck strategy charts with some training drills.

All of the basic strategy training is free.

I use BJ Expert by Deepnet technologies. It's quite good but pricey for an app. If you're not set on a phone app, just use CVBJ.
