TWhat about playing your hand differently because of the last
couple of cards that came out? In a shoe game there are only
seven hands out of
340 which are so marginal that they might want to be played
differently because of the last few dealt cards. These are
known as the Magnificent 7
Hands. The hand in the above example (10 against an 8),
however, isn't one of them. If you don't know some bona fide
"advanced basic
strategy," you'll just shoot yourself in the foot when you
take it upon yourself to adjust the play of your hands on
your own accord.
And if you think that two 10s in a row means a little card
is now due, think about this. When you have 10 against an 8,
there are 167 cards out of
309 that will give you an 18 or better. If the last two hits
were both 10s, there are still 165. That's not nearly enough
to make a difference in your
decision with this hand.
