public class Pontoon
{

     public static void main(String[] args)
	 {
		  Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		  int playerScore = 0, computerScore = 0;
		  String newCard = "";
		  playerScore += dealCard();
		  playerScore += dealCard();
		  computerScore += dealCard();
		  computerScore += dealCard();

		  System.out.printf("Your score is %d would you like another card ? y/n ", playerScore);
		  newCard = input.nextLine();
		  
        if(newCard.equalsIgnoreCase("Y"))
		{
        while (newCard.equalsIgnoreCase("Y"))
		{
             playerScore += dealCard();
             System.out.printf("Your score is %d would you like another card ? y/n ", playerScore);
             newCard = input.nextLine();
            }
        }
        while(computerScore < 15)
		{
            computerScore += dealCard();
        }
        checkWin(playerScore, computerScore);
    }
    public static int dealCard()
	{
        int value = (int) (Math.random() * 13) + 1;
        int score = 0;
        if(value == 1)
		{
            System.out.println("Ace!");
            score = 11;
        }
		else if (value == 13)
		{
            System.out.println("King!");
            score = 10;
        }
		else if (value == 12)
		{
            System.out.println("Queen!");
            score = 10;
        } 
		else if (value == 11)
		{
            System.out.println("Jack!");
            score = 10;
        } else 
		{
            System.out.println(value);
			score = value;
        }

        return score;
    }

    public static void checkWin(int Player, int Computer) {
        int player = Player;
        int computer = Computer;

        if (player > 21)
		{
            System.out.println("Player Bust");
        } 
		else if (computer > 21)
		{
            System.out.println("Computer Bust");
        } 
		else
		{
        if (player > computer)
		{
			System.out.println("Player Wins!");
        } 
		else
		{
            System.out.println("Computer Wins!");
            }
        }
    }
}

i've tried you program, and it did go bust after i went past 21. But only after inputting n when ask if i want to continue.

I'm guessing that you want to do something like, printing out "the player has gone bust" immediately after the player has gone past 21.

If so than there are 2 ways you can do that. First you can try to add in another condition at line 21. Second you can can add another statement between line 23 & 24 that breaks out of the while loop once the player had gone past 21 points.


As for your second question, too me the program is printing out the card being received. So I don't see why theres is a problem there.
