what is the HE of 6D, S17, DAS, Early Surrender (but no surrender on dealer Ace), No Peek

should I double down on the above rule for 11 Vs T? Please note dealer only takes my original bet when dealer has BJ, but if for example I draw an eight for 19 and dealer draws another T for 20, dealer takes original bet as well as my double down. This is very much like a peek because one should only lose its original bet

Rules are similar to Alberta - see the thread http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showthread.php?t=11509

Not sure about your second example - dealer peeks is only for blackjack, and I believe in every game out there, you would lose your double down in the situation you described.

The Wizard of Odds says dealer taking only your original bet on BJ, even if it is after all players have finished their hands, is equivalent to dealer peaks.

I play in Macau - Sands or Venetian, they use CSM and I am only using BS for fun

Yes, effectively it is a peek, so I believe I should double down on 11 Vs T?

I'm not an BJ expert, but from what I've seen, DD 11vT is dependent on H17 or S17 (DD on H17, which I don't understand).

The house edge is only .16%, which makes it a very good game for a basic strategy player. Too bad about the CSM's.
You should double your 11 v 10 because the dealer only takes your original bet.
