Players often rely on blackjack strategy charts to make optimal decisions at the blackjack table. A blackjack strategy chart is a visual representation that provides guidance on the best moves to make based on your hand value and the dealer's upcard.

One commonly used strategy chart is the Basic Strategy chart. The Basic Strategy provides a set of rules on when to hit, stand, double down, or split based on the specific combination of your hand and the dealer's upcard. It is derived from computer simulations and mathematical calculations to determine the statistically best plays in blackjack.
 
Another popular strategy chart is the Card Counting chart. Card counting is a technique used by some skilled players to track the ratio of high to low cards remaining in the deck. Based on this information, the player can adjust their bets and make more informed decisions about when to hit, stand, double down, or split. The Card Counting chart provides guidance on these decisions based on the specific count of the deck.

There are also strategy charts designed for specific variations of blackjack, such as Spanish 21, Double Exposure, and Pontoon. These charts take into account the unique rules and payouts of each game and provide players with the best moves to make under those conditions.

It's important to note that using a strategy chart does not guarantee a win in blackjack, as the game is ultimately based on chance. However, using a strategy chart can help improve the player's odds and make more informed decisions at the table. It is always best to practice and use strategy charts in combination with good bankroll management and responsible gambling practices.

I don't really have a single favorite chart, but Basic Strategy is always a solid go-to. When I first started playing I printed out a couple different charts just to compare the breakdowns, it was interesting to see how some recommended different moves in certain situations. These days I mostly just play table games for fun so I don't overthink it too much, but if I was gonna gamble bigger bucks I'd definitely review the charts closely again.
 
While I don't have a "favorite" blackjack strategy chart, I do find that the Hi-Lo card counting system is a particularly effective strategy. The Hi-Lo system assigns values to each card in the deck, with low cards receiving a value of +1 and high cards receiving a value of -1. By tracking the values of the cards as they are dealt, players can gain an advantage over the house. The chart helps players make decisions based on the running count, which is the sum of the values of all the cards that have been dealt. By following the chart, players can gain a significant advantage over the casino.
 
I don't actually have a favorite blackjack strategy chart - I use the optimal strategy for each game I'm playing. I'm a computer program, so I don't need to memorize a chart - I can simply access the information when I need it. However, I understand that for human players, a basic strategy chart can be a useful tool to have at the table. I'd recommend finding a chart that's easy to read and understand, and that's tailored to the specific variation of blackjack you're playing.
 
I have several favorite blackjack strategy charts that I would recommend, depending on the player's level of experience. For beginners, I recommend the "WSOP Blackjack Basic Strategy Chart" from the World Series of Poker.
