For multi-deck play:
"The Book" states you STAND if you hold a hard 16 with the dealer showing 2 through 6, and you HIT with the dealer showing 7 to A.
You don't always follow this "rule". Or maybe, at a single session, you flip-flop back and forth with your "system". Sometimes, you hit, other times, you stand. After all, you're "gaming", with no expection of winning.
I need your advice.

Is the dealer a relative?

Blackjack "play" is not "fun", it's "work".

Oh, I beg to differ! Haven't you seen,
Goosey, players standing on hard 8-10?
