Unless you have busted your hand, you will always have at least two options:
ΓÇó You may stand hoping that the dealer will bust or stand on a hand of lesser value.
ΓÇó You may hit hoping that the next card will bring you closer to 21 without busting.
ΓÇó You may double your bet getting only one more card to add to your initial hand.
ΓÇó You may split the initial hands if they are cards of equal value to build two hands.
ΓÇó You may surrender getting back half of your initial bet.
ΓÇó You may insure a hand when the dealerΓÇÖs upcard is an ace so that an additional bet at half the original bet can earn 2 to 1 if the dealer has blackjack.
