When the dealer has 2 aces, the incorrect value is shown in the table, but the correct decision is made. Example will be uploaded in the comments.

Consider Using the Following as Hand Class

• Keeps count of aces in a separate attribute

• smarter ace adjust

  class Hand:
  def __init__(self):
      self.cards = []  # start with an empty list as we did in the Deck class
      self.value = 0   # start with zero value
      self.aces = 0    # add an attribute to keep track of aces
  
  def add_card(self,card):
      # card passed in from deck class
      self.cards.append(card)
      self.value += values[card.rank]
  
      # track aces
      if card.rank == 'Ace':
          self.aces += 1
  
  def adjust_for_ace(self):
  
      # if the total value is over 21 and I still have an ace
      # change ace to be a 1 instead of an 11
      while self.value > 21 and self.aces:
          self.value -= 10
          self.aces -= 1
