Believe you are referring to Spanish 21,not BJ Attack.

You should always check the rules before jumping in and playing.

come back in four months after you've learned a couple things about blackjack, casinos, and variations of games offered.

Do you mean Double Attack Blackjack? It also pays 1:1 for a natural. Despite this, it is quite beatable and with the correct basic strategy for the game the house edge is actually less than for standard BJ in AC. Same for Spanish 21. But I would recommend leaving these games to the experts and earning your stripes in the standard game.

Most of the people who play double attack don't take advantage of any of its advantages. During a high positive count the dealer draws a 6. Nobody doubles their bet. Seems like that would be a key time to hit hard.

He's got a good point. You're going to find blackjack tables everyone.

Personally, I haven't even seen a double attack table. You're probably best off working at things that you're most likely to use, first.

Also, Monkey is a big freak, and has spare brainpower to learn strategies and counts for Spanish 21, blackjack switch, side games, etc. While the common working man has to more carefully plan what they study and work on.

I'm just being straightforward.

You have made a number of posts on here with questions that are easily answered by either a dealer, a book, or in some cases, a basic strategy chart. If you're having to ask a ton of questions about regular blackjack don't try to switch games while you're on the learning curve.

It's like trying to be the best poker player -- you start learning Texas Hold'em and then you see an Omaha game.. how different can it be? There is a big difference between hold'em and Omaha strategy despite the games mechanics being nearly identical.

Learn blackjack first. To a T, then move onto the carnival games of Spanish 21 (which I actually enjoy more than blackjack at times) or Double Attack.
