The Simplicity Of The Stand Decision With A Hard 16

[Mike_25]

Is standing with a hard 16 the right move or not? Personally, I believe the choice is simple. The basic rule with 16 is to stand, even though technically the correct play yields the dealer a tiny advantage. But the upside is you minimize risk of busting and keep things uncomplicated. Sticking with the stand strategy means less distraction focusing on more productive decisions down the line. Overall a hard 16, with its low potential, is not worth complicating your gameplay.

Of course, there are always exceptions to this rule, and the best decision will depend on the specific rules of the game, the size of the player's bet, and other variables. However, in general, the decision to stand with a hard 16 can be a simple and effective strategy.
