Soft Hands Strategy Drill

Never misplay an Ace again. You will ALWAYS be dealt a soft hand in this drill.

🧠 Why Soft Hands?

Soft hands (hands with an Ace) are often misplayed. Knowing when to double vs hit is key to reducing house edge.

📝 The Rule

Remember: Never stand on Soft 17 (double against 3-6, otherwise hit). Double Soft 18 against 3-6, stand against 2, 7, and 8, hit against 9-Ace. Stand on Soft 19+.
