Blackjack Strategy for Soft Hand after Hit

Would you suggest following the same BS after a hit on a soft hand. Or is there a different chart to follow?

I remember reading a post by Wizard that said that in a six deck game the difference between following BS and Composite Dependent BS is 0.004% and isn't worth the effort in a 6-deck game.

Any similar analysis for soft hands?

Assume, player has A,2 and Dealer has 4. Player hits and get to A,2,4 (soft 16). Should player Double?

6-deck game
Blackjack pays 3-2
Dealer stands on Soft 17
Late surrender allowed

Thank you!

If they let you double after hitting then just double according to basic strategy.So in you example you would double.Double after hitting is an unusual rule,are you sure you are playing regular blackjack?

I haven't checked. Maybe they don't. Will check the next time I visit.

So follow BS. Thanks!

What about Soft 18? Player A,2,5. Dealer 5.

Shall I hit or stay?

Why didn’t you double the A 2 vs a 5 to begin with ?

Lol. I was doing the same thing, but decided to reference the custom strategy card instead.

My bad. Say dealer has 3

There are only a couple dozen hands in BJ that aren't obvious. If you can't memorize them in short order, you really shouldn't be gambling with real money as you'll have just about no chance of winning. You do realize that even with perfect basic strategy, the house has an edge and will grind away your BR given enough time. If nothing else, memorizing these hands will show others you are serious and worth helping out. So far, you have not shown much effort to help yourself. Everyone is a newbie at one point. Some people stay there much longer than needed.
