Six Card Charlie Strategy
The Six Card Charlie rule means you automatically win if you reach 6 cards without busting. This slightly favors hitting in marginal situations when you already have 4-5 cards.
With 5 cards and a total of 12-16, consider hitting even against dealer 4-6
The chance of busting with low cards decreases significantly with each hit
Six Card Charlie adds approximately 0.16% to your expected value
