The key to winning at blackjack is applying the mathematically correct decisions from a chart. This cheat sheet displays the mathematically correct action for your hand against the dealer's card.

+How the Blackjack Chart is Structured
+<br>Although the chart looks complicated, the layout is actually very simple and structured. The vertical columns represent the dealer's card, showing numbers 2 through Ace. The vertical left row shows your hand total, divided into hard totals, soft totals, and pairs. To make a decision, locate the intersection of your card total row and the dealer's upcard column. This cell contains the abbreviation for the optimal move, such as H for Hit or S for Stand.<br>

+Understanding Strategy Chart Symbols
+<br>When looking at the grid squares, you will see one of these five abbreviations:<br>
+
+H (Hit): Ask the dealer for another card to increase your total hand score.
+S: Stand. Keep your cards and finish your turn with your present score.
+D (Double Down): Double your bet size and receive exactly one more card from the deck.
+P: Split. Divide your pair into two independent hands.

+How Hand Type Changes Your Strategy
+<br>Blackjack charts are divided into three distinct sections based on the type of cards you hold. Hard hands are totals without an Ace, carrying a high risk of busting if you hit. Soft hands contain an Ace that can count as either 1 or 11 without busting your total. The pair splitting matrix shows whether you should divide your matching cards. Always make sure you look in the correct section, as holding an Ace changes your options.<br>
