Blackjack Basic Strategy Chart
The mathematically optimal action for every hand against every dealer up-card, computed exactly via recursive expected-value analysis (not simulated) under an infinite-shoe approximation — the same assumption virtually every published basic strategy chart uses.

Split EV uses the standard infinite-deck approximation (each resulting hand treated independently); resplitting further hands isn’t modeled, which can very slightly understate splitting a few borderline pairs (e.g. 8s against a strong dealer card).
