If you have a 2 card total of 4, you're supposed to look at the splits or soft section. The first line of the hard section SHOULD say 5-8.
Except....
It is to account for the fact that in some games you cannot double any two cards,
therefore you consider A-3 as 4 or 14 and hit it either way.
And in some games you cannot double after split and would therefore count 2-2 as 4 and hit it.
In that case, the top line should be 3-8.
Bottom line, with the strategy card comes the assumption that you'll use the soft/splits section if it applies.
