Introduction
Sometimes a casino will offer a coupon which can be redeemed for a free ace in blackjack. Other times the dealer will start to deal and you can see the first card, before she pauses because you forgot to put out a bet. The following tables shows the value of each initial player card, accross whether the dealer hits (H17) or stands (S17) on a soft 17. The table is based on an infinite number of decks. In Basic Blackjack in table 32 (page 124) author Stanford Wong also gives the value of each initial player card based on six decks. The most Wong and I disagree is 0.3%, probably due to the number of decks.

- Note that BJ 6/5 reduces the edge for an Ace by about 10%, the value of the Ten is reduced by just over 2% and the combined edge is reduced by about 4%. On the other hand, games where blackjack pays 6-to-5 are often not taken seriously with respect to their game protection issues.

When playing blackjack with a hard hand, we would recommend the following: When you are dealt a total of 5-8, always hit. When you are dealt 9, hit if the dealer shows a 2 or a 7 through ace. If you have 10, hit if the dealer shows an ace or a 10. If your hand is 11, hit only if the dealer shows an ace. An ace is considered hard or soft only when the cards add up to 21 or less. The ace is forced to a 1 (hard) designation when the other cards, when added up, exceed 10.

For example if you had a free ace coupon for a $10 bet, and the dealer stands on soft 17, then the value of the coupon would be $10 × 0.504019 = $5.04.
