Pontoon Chart

Twist is hit. Stick is stand. Buy is double. You must twist hard 14 or less. A two-card 21 is a pontoon. Five cards of 21 or less is a five-card trick. Both pay 2 to 1.

The Pontoon trainer grades twist, stick, and buy on this grid.

Pontoon two-card plays

Hard 5 through 14 are hits because the table forces them. Buy 10 and 11 against 2 through 8.
