Frequently asked

Is this cheat sheet accurate?
Every cell is computed from exact expected value — the same engine behind our 340 hand pages — and validated against the published basic-strategy canon. ≈ marks cells where the top two plays are nearly identical.
Which rules does it assume?
8 decks, dealer stands on soft 17, double after split — the standard live-dealer configuration. Other rule sets change some cells; use our per-rules chart pages for those.
Can I print or save these charts?
Yes — they are plain PNG images made for saving and printing. Personal use is welcome; republishing at scale needs permission.
