hi folks, needing a bit of help with the strategy indices for hi-lo,
The casinos i play have the same rules, 6 decks, 80% pen,DAS, double 9,10,11 only, no surrender,lose only original bet to dealer blackjack,
i have been watching the Semyon Dukach M.I.T dvd and have been reading professional blackjack by stanford wong, Wong says he only usually learns indices form -1 to +6 so i decided that would do for me just now, and i am also aware of the illustrious 18, i have decided on these strategy changes, any comments??
12v6 hit <=-1
13v2 hit <=-1
12v4 hit >= 0
16v0 stand >=0
12v3 stand >=+2
9v2 double >=+2
11vA double >=+2
12v2 stand >=+3
15v10stand>=+4
9,9vA split >=+4
9v7 double >=+5
10vA double>=+5
16v9 stand>=+5
9,9v7 split>=+5
10,10v6 split>=+5
10,10v5 split>=+6
Does having no hole card effect any strategy changes , and am i just aswell learning all the Ilustrious 18 indices, i assume that the illustrious 18 are the most profitable strategy changes, that is why everybody recommends them, the thing is, there are differences is some of the strategy numbers from different people, is there a generic set of numbers for the Illustrious 18???
Also, why for the no hole card game do you only split 8's to a 9 but never verus a 10,Ace, and never split AAv A???? i dont understand these plays???
