Never hit 12+ if the dealer has 3-4-5-6. I will usually double down anything under 11 if the dealer is showing 5 or 6.



I usually do tip bets while playing rather than tipping the dealer upon cashing out. If I have extra small chips when cashing out (like a stack of greens and then a few reds) I'll tip the smaller chips because I like even numbers.
