To start you off:

def points
case @value
when '2'..'9'
@value.to_i
when 'ace'
11
else
10
end
end

I think you'll have trouble with the ace, though:
In order to determine the value of the ace, you need to know the value
of the whole hand.

With the ace all you have to do is check to see if the total hand
values is going to be > 21 with the ace as 11 if so the ace will
become 1. The issue is when the ace is in the hand and you hit again.
It's value could change.

'Lickin' Ass and Fakin' Military Service' is a Proven Fraud, a Proven
Liar, a Proven Thief, and recently a Proven Malicious Poster. She is
the most prolific liar in this newsgroup and also the most prolific
thief of other's writings. She is also a Stolen Valor stain on
America.

'Lickin' Ass and Fakin' Military Service' IS the Democratic Party in
America. She is an admitted election official in VA. This is proof
positive that DemocRATs are the party of Liars, Frauds & Thieves.

Note that when you reply to a Proven Liar you encourage them to
continue lying.

LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erosion is caused by many natural and man-made problems. Some erosion
results from the very slow rise of the sea level. Another big natural
factor is weather. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and other strong
weather systems play largerly into beach erosion. Coastal Development
that is not well thought out can also wreck havoc on the coastline.
Construction projects can cause trapping of sand which removes it from
the normal flow out and flow in of sand. This can be a major cause of
beach erosion. Erosion is an issue around the whole coast of Florida
but 5 percent of it is at critical levels.
