Standing
When a player is satisfied with his card total and does not wish additional cards he can choose to 'Stand' by sliding his cards, face down, under his bet. This means he does not wish to have any further cards dealt to him. Or he is satisfied that under the circumstances, he can not improve his blackjack hand further without obvious loss. In the case where his cards have been dealt face up, he would simply wave his hand palm down, side to side over his cards to indicate he is 'Standing' or staying with his total.
