Can you give me another example of a strategy adjustment based on card removal?

Another example of deck strategy adjustment:

Hard 16 vs. dealer 7+:

• Fewer decks: Stand. Removing cards has bigger impact, so keep 16 in case high cards remain that could bust dealer or improve your hand.
• More decks: Hit. Less card impact, so more low cards could help dealer or bust you. Risk stand's greater loss to try and improve hand.

Again, the strategy adjustment is based on how much card removal matters. It matters more in fewer decks, favoring stand to capitalize on high cards. It matters less in more decks, so you hit to try improving hand despite risk of bust since low cards are less consequential. The specific plays/situations differ but the pattern's the same - adjust by how card effects change with deck numbers.

Great example! The number of decks used in a game can greatly affect the probability of certain cards appearing, and it's important for players to adjust their strategy accordingly to account for this. By standing in a smaller deck game, players are giving themselves a better chance of winning without risking going over 21. Conversely, hitting in a larger deck game can give players more opportunities to improve their hand with the possibility of lower cards having a higher impact. Adapting to these deck-specific strategies can really improve a player's chances of coming out on top in a game of blackjack.
