The rule of thumb for hitting is:

If the dealer is showing a 2 through 6, stand on a breaking hand, 12 or better.

If the dealer is showing a 7 through Ace, hit on a 16 or less.

If you have two aces - you should split your hand and hit on both.

Deuces are called a dealers Ace because the dealer can usually make a hand with a 2 showing, a lot of players will hit a 12 or 13 against a deuce.

No guarantees of course, they don't call it gambling for nothing.

Dealers have to hit on 16 and stay on 18 or better.

So what about 17? Dealers ALWAYS stay on a "hard 17," which is a 7 and any card worth 10. A "soft 17" is a 6 and an Ace (counted as either a 1 or 11) and can therefore be considered a total of 7 or 17. Each individual casino has their own rule about a soft 17. The surface that the dealer deals on is called a "green," and the casino rule about a soft 17 is ALWAYS listed right there on the green. "Dealer hits soft 17" means just that, that he must consider the total to be 7 and hit. "Dealer stays on soft 17" means that dealer must consider the total to be 17 and stay, which gives you a slight advantage.

What is live action blackjack?

Live action blackjack is simply real blackjack with a real dealer. The opposite of live action blackjack is video black jack where the entire game is computer controlled. In the real world at a casino you will not typically find it called live action blackjack (even though that is what it is) because any table game with a living human dealer is by default "live action". So they simply call it blackjack for the game with a real dealer and video blackjack for the machine version. The term "live action blackjack" is most often used by online websites which offer a type of blackjack where there is a live dealer broadcasting over the web so that you can play online with a real living dealer. Some players are simply more comfortable with human dealers.


In blackjack does the dealer get the cards in a tie?

I'm not sure what you mean about the dealer getting the cards. So, a quick lesson in Blackjack. When the dealer and the player both have hands that have the same value it is called a push, no win, no loss. There is no such thing as a tie-breaker. The dealer must stand on a 17 or better and hit on a 16 or under, no exceptions. As for the dealer getting the cards, the dealer gets all the cards, the dealer has control of the cards at all times.
