Going over 21 is called "Busting." You are playing only against the dealer. If your hand beats the dealer's hand, you win. If the dealer's hand is between 17 and 21, he or she may not draw any additional card. If the dealer's hand is 16 or below, cards must be drawn until the dealer's hand has a value of 17 or higher. An Ace can count as either 1 or 11. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. Double - if you think you will win without getting more than one card you double.
