How are blackjack cards valued?

[MillionBoy]

In blackjack, card values are relatively straightforward. Numbered cards (2-10) are worth their face value, meaning a 2 is worth 2 points, a 3 is worth 3 points, and so on. Face cards, which include Kings, Queens, and Jacks, are each valued at 10 points. Aces are unique in that they can be worth 1 point or 11 points, depending on which value is more beneficial for your hand.

The flexibility of Aces is a significant aspect of blackjack strategy. It allows you to adapt your hand to various situations. For example, if you have an Ace and a 7 (valued at 18), you might choose to stand. But if you have an Ace and a 6, you can count the Ace as 11 and have a hand value of 17, making it safer to hit for another card.

Understanding card values is foundational to making informed decisions during a blackjack game.
