Lesson 1 · The Moves

Hit — Drawing a Card

Hit means asking for another card. You do it when your total is too low to compete with the dealer.

Basic rule: if the dealer can have a strong card and you are below 17, consider a Hit.

✓ Hit

You have 12, dealer shows 2. Surprising but true: Hit — the dealer doesn't bust enough vs 2.
