Strategy examples:

Example 1:

Hard 16 vs. dealer upcard 7
1. If count < 7  do hit

2a. If surrender possible (first two cards):
    7 <= count < 12 :   STAND
    count >= 12     :   Surrender

3b. If surrender not possible:
    7 <= count      :   STAND

Strategy:

ENTRY { SUM := 16;  DUP := 7 ;
  CONDITIONS a16_7_check_7 {
    COUNT C1 < 7 := HIT ELSE a16_7_cont;
    // Always hit if C1 < 7
  }

  CONDITIONS a16_7_cont {
    FIRST2 ELSE a16_7_no_surr;
    AND
    SINGLE_INDEX C1 +12  := STAND < SURRENDER;
  }

  CONDITIONS a16_7_no_surr {
    ALWAYS STAND;
    // Means stand for C1 >= 7 when surrender not possible
  }
}

Example 2:

4,4 vs. 6

if C1 < 7  then split
if 7 =< C1 then double

Strategy: 

ENTRY { PAIR := 4;  DUP := 6 ;
  SINGLE_INDEX C1 +7 := SPLIT < DOUBLE;
}

Example 3:

4,4 vs. 6

if C1 < 7 then split
if 7 =< C1  then treated as a regular hard 8

Strategy:

ENTRY { PAIR := 4;  DUP := 6 ;
  SINGLE_INDEX C1 +7 := SPLIT < NOP;
  //  For C1 >=7 44 is treated as normal hard 8
}
