Quick question: I have the rules set to 6 decks, double after split allowed, surrender not allowed, dealer hits on soft 17. I split my 8,8 against a dealer's jack showing and on one hand I have an A,8. The basic strategy chart says hit when player has soft 19 against a 10 but the game is saying I should stand. What is the correct decision? Thanks
Edit: I was just playing again and had a soft 19 vs a 9 showing and it said I should stay. The chart says hit. Would someone please tell me what the proper thing to do is in this situation?

You should stay. Can you give me the URL of the basic strategy chart you are referring to? I have lots of them.

Thanks for the quick response! The url isThe chart on the right, dealer hits on soft 17. Hope this helps and please let me know if there needs to be any changes on the chart, thanks

I am posting here again because my post was never fully resolved. The chart still says you should hit soft 19 against 9, 10, A. Should you stay on all three? Please let me know and if you get the chance to update the chart, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You're absolutely right. That was a formatting mistake. I can't fix that from where I'm at, but it will correct it first thing tomorrow. Thank you for the correction.
