Common questions

Which rules is this chart solved for?

The rules are listed in the rules table on this page. The chart is solved for that exact table and for no other table.

Is this chart correct for a different number of decks?

No. A chart solved for one deck count is not published for another deck count. Use the chart page for the table you are playing.

Where does the house edge figure come from?

The figure is read from a published source. The source is named in the sources list on this page. No figure here is estimated.

Does this chart include card counting deviations?

No. Every cell on this chart is basic strategy. Counting deviations change cells and are not part of a basic strategy chart.
