Strategy
Infinite Blackjack uses 8 decks, the dealer stands on soft 17 and checks for blackjack, you can double on any first two cards but not after a split, and you can split once. Because there is no double after a split, small pairs are split less often than at a seven-seat table.
Basic strategy is what the published RTP assumes. Play by feel and the real return drops below it; the chart below is the decision that loses least on average for every hand.
