The correct move was to hit yeah? Like, you could bust but the odds of you getting up into a range where you are more likely to win is higher than busting. Is my analysis close?
Huh. That sounded odd at first blush, but hitting on a 13 will bust on 9-10-J-Q-K, over a third of all cards, and while the hidden card could be an 8+ (nearly guaranteed to beat 13 with one additional card), it could also be another two and then the dealer’s in a tough spot I guess.
Still feels counterintuitive to stand on 13 to me but I am very bad at games.
There are 20 cards in a standard deck that could bust you from 13, over a third of the deck is an instant lose and a 2 showing for the dealer isn’t particularly strong. That’s my guess but I’m bad at games.

For a 13 vs 2 it’s actually a bit controversial.

Really? Cause there is so many diffrent ways the two could go or another calculation?

Thats still 2/3s good hits while I dont think a 13 is a very strong hand either. So wither way the odds seem bad for this hand.
I think that’s the bottom line, it’s just a straight up bad hand.
I guess the general rule is to stay but it can depend on enough other stuff that nerds get into it
Fascinating. Doesn’t seem like too many chances to win by just staying
