Hit, and your soft 16 is nearly a breakeven hand with an average loss of only eight-tenth s of a percent. By standing on soft 16, the player at my table turned a nearly neutral hand into a just another awful 16. 10: The average loss is 54.0 cents if you stand, and that’s reduced to 21.0 cents if you hit.

He ended up with this hard 12, he.

Just hit the damn thing and be done with it. You're not going to win with 16. If you can't surrender it, hit it against the face card as a matter of course.. unless you're counting.

I've always wondered how much bad plays affect house edge. I always try to play by the book, of course I'm not much of BJ player, so I haven't memorized BS.
I've started to think the percentage difference between hitting 16 v. staying is miniscule. Or not splitting hands you're supposed to, or not doubling soft hands you're supposed to. Our BJ games carry a HA of 0.6%, but my boss told me once they pull in more like 1.5% due to common bad plays. How much does always taking even money on BJ v. Ace raise the house edge? Or always staying on soft 18?

Indeed.

These are (much) larger. And they add up.

Not hitting a 16 against a 10 is miniscule in value. Not hitting a 16 against a 7, 8, 9, on the other hand, has more of an effect. A lot of people will stay on 16 vs a dealer 7, which is asinine.
What I don't understand is why people want to do stupid things like not doubling 11 v 10, standing on 16 against 7-9, and not doubling soft 18 when appropriate. What process makes you think that is the better idea that should be employed over mathematically sound ideas? Why is the stupid decision the default one and the correct decision the thing that must be justified?

To the uninitiated some plays are counterintuitive. Add to that poor advice over the years from players and dealers alike. Others just want to play for recreation and have no desire to learn basic strategy. They're still playing with less house edge than other games.
Embrace all of these players because they're the ones paying the AP's 'salary'.

For most people the fun of gambling is synonymous with getting a lucky hunch, and following your fortune.
If the 'inner voice' tells you to stand, that's reason enough. And whatever you do, you can't do worse than betting on that lucky number in roulette.
Unless you are an AP, any gambling is 'stupid' (or, better said, irrational). Basic Strategy does not make it rational. It helps you lose less, but you will still lose, so what's the point?

There are exceptions to basic strategy. 16 vs. 10 in 2 to 8 decks where you got to 16 with 3 or more cards means you should stand.
Why? I don't know the mathematical explanation, but I'd guess that if you got to 16 with 3 or more cards it must have included smaller cards which means there is relatively more 10's in the deck now.

Consider an infinite deck a player 16 against a dealer 10. Hitting versus standing will win one more time out of 1667 times this setup happens. So assuming 100 hands per hour, 9 hours a day, 7 days per week, you would one time more in a year of play.
With a difference so minor, it is not surprising that the removal of a few small cards which are beneficial to the player, would shift the best decision from 'hit' to 'stand'.

However, there are some common disorders that affect people of all ages. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)is characterized by an inability to remain focused on task, impulsive behavior, and excessive activity or an inability to sit still. How does gambling affect mental health. Although this disorder is most commonly diagnosed in children, it can occur in adults as well.


Does your casino allow surrender? Because it's better to surrender that 16 than hit it against a 9, 10, or Ace (but not against a smaller card!)

But good for you for hitting it instead of being scared and standing like so many players do.
