Dear Mark,
If in all blackjack scenarios you should hit a soft
17 (A-6), why would you never hit a hard 17? Jim T.
Unfortunately,
Jim, a 17 in blackjack is a damned hand, a dud over
the long haul. The alternative strategy of hitting a
hard 17 would only multiply your losses. Nevertheless,
with a soft 17 you at least have the possibility of
taking another card, which could improve your hand.
This is why basic strategycharts dictate either hitting
or doubling down never standing on a soft 17.
