Common Questions
What is HitOrStand21?
HitOrStand21 is a blackjack training app focused on basic strategy, counting practice, and realistic simulation drills.
Is this a real-money gambling app?
No. It is a training product and does not process real-money wagers.
Which blackjack rules can I train?
You can train deck count, H17/S17, DAS, surrender options, and common double-rule variants.
What is the fastest way to improve?
Run short daily Drill sessions, then use Focus mode to repeat weak spots until they stabilize.
Does Focus mode adapt to my mistakes?
Yes. Focus mode increases frequency for high-recency and high-frequency mistake patterns.
Can beginners use HitOrStand21?
Yes. Most beginners should start with Learn and Drill before adding counting and simulation.
Is counting mode available on Free?
Yes, with daily limits. Pro unlocks unlimited counting reps.
How are missions and streaks used?
They guide daily volume and consistency without requiring long sessions.
What does Pro unlock today?
Pro currently unlocks unlimited counting, unlimited Focus reps, advanced simulation controls, and CSV export.
What does Elite unlock today?
Elite includes everything in Pro and priority access to advanced training modules as they launch.
Do I need an account to train?
No. Core training is available without account creation.
Where is my progress stored?
Progress is stored locally in your browser via localStorage by default.
Can I train on mobile?
Yes. Drill controls and table layouts are tuned for mobile and desktop use.
What is the recommended weekly cadence?
A practical rhythm is five days per week with 20-40 minutes per day split between Drill and Focus.
Should I learn counting before basic strategy?
No. Build stable basic strategy first, then add counting and true-count concepts.
How does penetration affect training?
Penetration controls shoe depth and influences simulator realism and counting context.
Why do H17 and S17 matter?
Dealer soft-17 behavior changes expected value in several high-frequency decision spots.
What is DAS?
DAS means double after split. It changes EV for specific pair branches and should be trained explicitly.
What is late surrender?
Late surrender lets you forfeit half the bet after dealer checks for blackjack, reducing losses in selected spots.
Can I export my training stats?
Yes. CSV export is available on Pro and Elite tiers.
Do you run ads in the training flow?
No. The app is designed as a focused practice experience without ad clutter.

Where can I learn rule-specific strategy differences?
