I'll mainly follow with basic strategy. However, I like to stand on 12 when dealer shows a 6 or less [even if it's a 2 or 3]. My vote is to hit if Dealer shows a 7, 8, 9, 10, or Ace. If the Dealer was showing a 3, what are the chances I'll bust? What are the chances I won't bust

You hit 12 against a dealer's 2 or 3. The dealer's 2 is called the Dealer's Ace , because it has so much potential. You will bust a 12 31% of the time, so you will not bust 69% of the time. It's a slam dunk.

I'm pretty agressive on 12's, unless the dealer has a 4, 5, or 6 showing.

I'm bad about hitting 12s against just about any dealer card that isn't a 4, 5, or 6, though I sometimes don't hit against a 3. I'll frequently double against a 5 or 6.A lot of players would like to kill me for it (I usually play third) when it doesn't work out.How do you usually play those 'dealer 10s'?Jack
