Drunken blackjack and a dealer who needs to shut up.

I kind of play based on the odds. If the dealer is showing 7 through A, I assume the worst and will hit if I am below 17. Although 7 and 2 are tricky for me. More often than not, I will see the 7 paired with 9 or lower. And 2 is usually paired with a 9 or lower. I never take insurance, split 10's or 9's. 10's you rarely improve on and more often than not, put yourself in a worse position than 20. 9's are the same way.

Rule 3) If the table goes cold, and you start losing multiple hands in a row, pick up and move on instead of chasing your losses.

Yup. When you're luck quits you, don't try to chase it down. That way lies poverty and tears.

2) Hit on 11 or less, stand on 17 or more, on 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 stand if the dealer shows a "bust" card of 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.

I tend to stand on 16, too, because the dealer can't.
