Basic strategy says DOUBLE A-2 against a 5, but if the count is at all negative, just hit it; double only when the count is 0 or higher.) A-2 vs. Blackjack basics for players and dealers. The basic rules of blackjack are simple. Players try to score as close to 21 as possible without exceeding 21.

Playing with 6 decks in the shoe, I'm dealt a 16, dealer is showing a 7 card. Should I hit or stay? If the answer is different for hard or soft 16 then please let me know.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm sure this question has been asked on this forum about a million times prior but I could not locate it in the index and I couldn't utilize the search function.

Welcome, newbieplayer. HIT! It's not even close. Had you said against a 10 there would be a couple of different answers and a little more discussion.

Blackjack 15 Vs 7 Ultimate
I notice the Blackjack game in the games section is not working.

Wasn't working? Or you were just losing? That was another feeble attempt at a joke.
Not sure where to report a system problem, probably not in the middle of a thread under BJ.
But I'm just guessing.....

I'm guessing they know, but I'll drop a note to JB; I'm pretty sure he programmed them. He'll either look into it himself, or he'll know who needs to fix it.
I was going to recommend it to the OP since it gives correct play advice.

(2) When playing perfect strategy I suspect you hit 16 vs 7 over 99% of the time. Thus unless you're memorising what's gone, you should always hit.
(3) As people have suggested (ignoring the surrender option) it is usually correct to hit all 16s against dealer up-cards of A, 10, 9, 8 and 7. The decision is more obvious against a 7 and gradually less obvious against 8, 9 and 10. In fact if you're counting there are many occasions when you stand on 16 vs 10, and a few on 16 vs 9.
Blackjack Probability and Blackjack Odds

Casino and Dealer Advantage in Blackjack
In most casino games of blackjack, the house advantage (the dealer advantage) is ~ 8%. The house gets this advantage by the dealer being the last player to act. By acting last, all other players have already made their decisions and could quite possibly bust before the dealer has his turn.
By using correct blackjack basic strategy, you can turn the casino edge in blackjack from 7%-8% down to 0.5%. If you correctly use advanced card counting techniques, you can often change blackjack odds and give yourself the advantage over the casino. Manipulating the house odds to your favor is the reason most casinos don't allow card counters to play blackjack.
