For those with the same total as the dealer the result is a push: their stake is returned to them and they neither win nor lose. In case you’re not a visual learner these simple phrases might help you commit these rules to memory. The goal with remembering phrases is to be able to look at your hand total and immediately recite the rule in your head, without having to see what the dealer has. That way when you’re at the table and you look up to see what the dealer has, you already know how it relates to your hand and you can make your decision in a split second. Memorizing these phrases will make you much faster and have fewer mistakes.Signal: Place additional chips next to the original bet outside the betting box and point with two fingers spread into a V formation.

In face-down games, if a player has more than one hand, they can look at all their hands before deciding.

A winning insurance bet will be paid at odds of 2:1, and since you lose your original bet, you'll break even on the hand. Strategy guides tend to advice against taking insurance.
