- 11: Draw only when dealer has an ace exposed, if not double.
- 12: Stand when dealer has 4,5,6. Draw on any other card.
- 13-16: Only stand when dealers card is 2-6. Hit on all other cards.
- 17-1: Stand regardless of dealers card.

Pocket pairs

- Pair of 9's: Split when dealers card is 2to6 or 8/9. Stand on a ace, 7 or 10
- Pair of 7's: Split when dealers card is from 2to7 and draw everything else
- Pair of 6's: Split when dealers card is from 2to6, hit on everything else
- Pair of 5's: Hit unless dealer has 2 to 9
- Pair of 4's: Hit unless dealer has 5 or 6 then split
