An example of hitting over doubling by dealer bust odds:
Hard 13-15 vs. dealer 7+:
• More decks: Hit. Lower bust odds mean dealer likely improves enough to beat weak hand. Gotta try to improve hand instead of doubling risk.
• Fewer decks: May double if think dealer likely to bust. Higher bust odds mean doubling could win more if dealer busts. But with more decks, odds aren't high enough to justify doubling with weak hand. Hit to try getting stronger hand.
Whether to double, hit, or take other action depends on dealer bust odds, not just hands. With more decks and lower bust odds, hit weak hands instead of doubling risk. With fewer decks and higher bust odds, doubling weak hands could gain more if dealer likely enough to bust. But specific hands the adjustment applies to vary. The key is adjusting by how dealer bust odds change by decks.
