Playing a hard 11 in blackjack depends on the deck and the dealer's upcard. If the remaining deck is rich in tens and aces that benefit the dealer, standing on 11 is prudent. However, if the deck favors the player and doubles are unlikely, hitting 11 is the play.
The dealer's upcard guides whether to hit or stand. If the upcard is a 7-9, the dealer has a strong chance of busting, so hit 11 for massive winnings. If the upcard is a 4-6, the dealer will likely draw to 16-18, so stand on 11 to avoid going bust. A stiff dealer upcard of 10 or ace means danger—stand on 11 or risk losing it all!
Strategy is key to making the right call on any hand, including a hard 11. Check the counts, burn through the remaining deck in your mind, and trust your instincts. But if unsure, staying with 11 is often the most +EV call. Luck will play a role, but skill will determine if you walk away a winner!
