If your first two cards total 21, you have Blackjack and win 3:2 odds on your bet automatically unless the dealer draws Blackjack as well causing a tie or a "Push." In the case of a tie, no money is won or lost. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. Surrender - this decision is quite rare and not offered is most casinos.
