Blackjack 13 vs Dealer 10
Basic strategy: Hit.
For 6-deck blackjack where the dealer stands on soft 17 (S17), with double-after-split and late surrender — the Vegas Strip S17 rules.
A dealer 10 will make a strong total far more often than it busts, so a 13 that stood would lose most of the time. You have to improve: hit, and accept the bust risk because standing here is the worse of two imperfect options.
