Hands

In blackjack, "hands" refer to the combination of cards held by a player or the dealer at any given time during the game. Each hand is evaluated based on the total value of its cards, with the goal of getting as close to 21 as possible without exceeding it. Players may choose to "hit" (take more cards) or "stand" (keep their current total) to improve their hand. Hands are central to the game’s strategy, as the outcome depends on how these card combinations compare to the dealer’s hand. Managing and understanding your hand is key to playing effectively.
