Soft 16 play?

soft 16 against a dealer 10 gets all the hype for “always hit” but i get why people are tempted to stand. you’ve already got a decent chance to bust, plus sometimes it just feels like the dealer has you beat no matter what. i used to hit without even thinking, just like the chart says, but lately i wonder if the math changes when you play with crypto and fast hands online. does deck penetration or speed of hands matter at all? i see some people standing and honestly, they don’t seem to go bust as often, but they lose quietly. anyone else watching real game flow to make the decision, or just stick to the chart?

Noooo, speed isn’t the thing. The bonus rollover is. Every no commission blackjack promo I chased just made the same bad volume look busier.

rollover's not the whole irritation tbh. fast online hands just make bad poker-brain instincts feel smart sooo people stand and bleed slower.

yeah game flow feels real in live blackjack but basic strategy still says hit, annoys me bc the stand just looks cleaner

Cleaner-looking stands are how bonuses mug you.

Online casino speed changes feel, not EV. Irritating, yes!

Speed just makes people baby their bankroll and invent roadmaps in blackjack lmao. Soft 16 v 10 is still a hit. Standing is fake comfort...

If it's double deck blackjack maybe, otherwise speed just makes people miss the table rules and stand soft.
