Blackjack Switch @ Augustine: Indio, CA

I played and enjoyed:

$5 - $100 (limits) ~ 6 D ~ penetration to 2 decks or a little more.

BUT they have a rule I wasn't familiar with: A BJ that results from a switch is treated as a 21 ~ will push a dealer's 21 or 22.

I don't think that would affect the HA much.

I took the "Switch decisions" chart from thewizardofodds and rounded to one digit and used it - four digits were too cumbersome.

Then a dealer mentioned that "The Big Book of Blackjack" had "decision rules" in a simplified form. I ordered the book today (-$15 used from amazon).

My questions, if anyone has the time and ability:

#1 - Using my "simplified to one digit" chart AND the rule above, what is the HA?

#2 - If you have a copy of the "decision rules" from The Big Book, what is the HA?

#3 - I usually use a side count of Aces but I dropped it for this game since BJ pays even money. Good idea?

Thank you all in advance, Bruisedlee

The switched blackjack=21 rule will add about .43% to the HE. That's a lot but that's how all casinos except for Casino Royale play the game now. You should read this other post on the game.
