Thank you. Should remove all plays that hit hard-17 or higher and consolidate it a bit.
Also, cite source. zg

All plays that require hitting Hard 17 or higher, have been removed! Ill try to get around and consolidate it a little better, as soon as I figure out a convenient and better way

How many decks? What rules? Guessing I'd say single-deck S-17. A few plays look strange:
No soft doubling against a dealer 5 nor doubling of 9...
double 9 vs a 7
double soft 17,18 against a dealer soft 16 seems aggressive but might be ok.

Some small discrepencies w/Grosjean's matrices then.

You people don't listen do you? It's obvious that if you stay at this
level of mentalism citing that "17" is the way to stay, then I wish to
revoke my membership to this board, because I have stated countless
times to go beyond what you feel is your "limitations." There are times
when you need to go beyond "H17," or even "18." It seems like everyone
likes to refute what I have to say, without even trying to jump into a new
idea or thought. Carry on with your limited ideas without further ado.

And Best Of Luck To You!

Sorry you feel that way Jstar. Maybe we could bring it back by popular demand. I think hitting H17 or H18 would be a little obvious, not to mention greedy. I know you'll read this, whether you post here again or not!
So please re-consider, for this, hardly justifys you revoking your membership over. I actually like some of your Innovative ideas.

Unfortunately, one of the limitations of the game is that if you get caught, the game is over. If the casino catches the dealer, the game is dead. Just because an idea is good doesn’t mean it is optimal. You need to think about the big picture.

Sure, just not in front of a floorman…or even a live dealer who will call it out to the floorman.

Trust me, we aren’t trying to suppress any new ideas. It’s just that some ideas have already been thoroughly considered decades ago. Nobody is arguing that it is technically better to hit a hard 18 vs. 20. That’s obvious. But a smart player will know that the huge risk simply isn’t worth the small reward. I think this has been covered in many BJ books and websites. We’re not trying to stifle your creativity. We’re just trying to make sure that your creativity is tempered with reality.
