Most tournaments do allow doubling on blackjack, although some don’t. It can be a useful move, when winning 1.5 times your bet is not enough to accomplish your goal, but winning 2 times your bet is.
Would love it if we didn’t lose our game conditions when we reset, (or ‘shuffle the deck’). Still hoping to see a way to set differing amounts of pot sizes. Also, it’s a shame that it resets your pot when you reset the decks. That said, it’s the best trainer I’ve found on line to date.
Changes which hurt the player Changes in edge
Dealer hits A-6 -.20%
Double only on 11 -.46%
Double only on 10,11 -.09%
Double only 9, 10,11 -.09%
No resplitting pairs -.04%
No insurance (if you are counting cards) -.40%
Are the Basic Strategy Variations Matrix for Hi-Opt I? Where can I find the ones for Hi-lo? Also if I were to just use the Hi-Opt I count instead of Hi-lo, would that more profitable or would I need an Ace side count?
Playable single deck is extinct in Tunica and everywhere else except for northern Nevada. So unless you plan to regularly play in Reno or Wendover, forget about single deck. Use hi-lo; it gets the money and is the industry standard. Omega II and all other mainstream, validated counts get the money as well, but hi-lo has the most information published about it and is the easiest to use. Don’t reinvent the wheel.

I haven’t been able to play for about a week.
I had a player double down on an ace/king in a tournament. He was a regular and knew the dealer. I lost because of that. Is that allowed

good day anyone out there
Did you say that I could play for hours and make $22.50 if all goes well? I can go get a part-time job at the mall and make more than that
$ 22.50 with bets of 5-60. Bet 50-600 to win $ 225.00 in 3 hours.
$ 22.50 with bets of 5-60.

Under the same conditions, if two hands are thrown at the expectation of winning and the same? Example: 22.50 for 3 hours?
Do any Vegas casinos offer surrender any more?

How could a 2 make the dealer bust??
your wrong…
If you’re playing the USA peak version. The dealer should have already peaked at the facedown card and declared blackjack if he had a 10, A.
Because he didn’t at this point you already know it’s lower that 10 and if you split A,A you have a high probability of winning both hands.
It’s not how much you win……It’s how much you don’t lose……You can’t beat em…simple as that
