The part at 7mins was very interesting. A possible advantage play in its own right.

Tie 0 160-1 payout 8 decks Average edge: 17% Bet frequency: 20% of hands (This is referenced from Eliot Jacobson's 'Advanced Advantage play' 2013). However, his sim used 14 cards cutoff. Is anyone able to tell me if a player advantage still exists at shallower penetrations, i.e. 52 cutoff and...

He has a basic strategy for H17, yes.

The wizard has reported that he calculated a HE of 0.32%. That was based on a rule set of H17. However what isn’t clear is whether or not the ENHC rule was included or not. If not, then can I just simply add the value of the ENHC disadvantage (-0.11) to this HE of 0.32% to get 0.43% HE? Also...

It’s ENHC - dealer takes all original bets if he gets BJ. So if you doubled 11 against Ace or split Aces vs Ace and dealer got BJ then you would lose all. BUT....If you split Aces vs Ace and get AT AT, then place the 'double up wager' on each and the dealer gets BJ, you just lose your original...

Yes, if he breaks his 10, I win both units also. There is a little caveat which is if he draws to 16 at anytime, all bets push.

Yes, it is 6 decks. In this BJ variant, using the example of a 2 card total of 20, I have the option of placing the ‘double up wager’ (equal to my original bet - pays 1/1). If however the dealer makes 20, I lose the double up wager and push the original. So for every situation of a 2 card 20...

What percentage of the time/how often does my inital 2 card total of 20 win vs a dealer 10? And how often does it push? Assume neutral deck.

Is the info in this thread (dating back to 2011) still relevant today, in relation to game rules: S17 ES10 ENHC DoA DAS NoRSA? And minimums? Which places have the redouble rule (max 3 units)? Anyone got info on the type of shuffles? (PM me) Which casinos to avoid?

I have an idea what you are getting at. But given the title of this thread, we are ruling out any 'other' plays.

I am at first base, 2 ploppies at 3rd and 4th base. Dealer has a 6 showing. I stand my hard 14. Ploppy 1 has 15 and signals stand but dealer accidentally gives him a card (10). Ploppy reiterates he signalled stand, supervisor gives him the benefit of the doubt, takes back the card. (It does...
