The Farthest Depths Of The Game 

Hand Composition is a very interesting way, and we believe a very effective way, to play many hands.  The theory is very simple, and very powerful. 

The Playing 21 Program has taken Blackjack to a place it has never gone or even heard of.  The Hand Break Down vs. Dealer Up Card feature is clearly the “DNA structure” of the game Blackjack.  McB Duplin set out to develop a program that would supply every single answer to the game Blackjack.  We included everything we thought a player would ever need to know.  Over the last few years, while developing The Playing 21 Program, we have come to recognize the importance of Hand Composition.  

If you are the die-hard Blackjack connoisseur that we are, you’ll immediately see Hand Composition’s value in the game Blackjack and probably already understand it. 

To explain it simply; it is the card composition of your hand, usually a two-card hand. 

For example, you can get a Hard 13 in four ways (in your first two cards): 

Clearly all these are the same hand total, a Hard 13, but are they the same hand?.  Now if the Dealer had a 3 for his Up Card, would all these hands be played the same way? 

Referring to the Hand Break Down Vs. Dealer’s Up Card in The Playing 21 Program, shows you precisely how you faired, at any count, with a Hard 13 vs. the Dealer’s 3. 

Hand Composition takes this even further.  In Version 2, you will not only be able to see how you did with a Hard 13 against a 3, but how you did at each of the above-mentioned Hard 13s.  We can make a strong case that Hitting the Face-3 is a better play than hitting the 7-6.  Common sense tells us the Face-3 leaves the 7-6, and 8-5 in the deck, all four of which help us if we hit that hand. 

Hand Composition may actually change the way a few hands are played at certain counts.  Maybe there will be a Hard 13 that we hit or stand on based on the Composition of the 13 and nothing more. 

Clearly Hand Composition can affect the Dealers Hand as well.  We are looking forward to continuing to share the details with you in the Playing 21 Programs.
