The Rules

Card Values

All tens and picture cards equal to 0.
The Ace's equals to 1.
All other cards acount as their face value. if the value of cards exceed 9, then the hand value is adjusted by subtracting 10 from the total.

Example:

9+4=13 hand counts 3
6+6+5=17 hand counts 7
10+9=19 hand is a "Natural" 9
Queen+Ace+4 hand counts 5
