The best strategy is, don't play. However, there are a couple of recommended strategies for playing. First, and considered my almost every player to be the best, is to learn to count cards. Contrary to popular believe, it isn't illegal in U.S. casinos, but if you are caught or even suspected, you may be barred from playing.

Another common strategy is, (and this is a very basic description) always assume the dealer's down card is a 10. Play your hand based on his up card plus 10. If the dealer has a strong up card (7 or higher) take a hit on anything less than 17. If the dealer has a weak up card (less then 7) don't hit any hand that you can bust on (12 or higher). However, an upcard of 2 for the dealer is considered a strong hand by most "experts" so you play against a 2 as if it was an ace. You can buy a strategy card that will show you when to hit and when to stay. If you get one, and you play very often, you will quickly learn it.

There are also other strategies, but these are likely the two most common.

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.
