Stand
1 min read
In card games, the act of accepting the value of the hand and refusing an additional card.
In the context of casino gambling, particularly in the game of blackjack, the term "stand" refers to a player's decision to keep their current hand and not take any additional cards. When a player stands, they are satisfied with the total value of their hand and believe that taking more cards may result in a bust (exceeding a total of 21). Standing is a strategic choice that can significantly impact the outcome of the game, as it allows the player to maintain their current total while the dealer plays their hand.
