Black Jack apprenticeship standard rules

[kcchiefsfan1982]

Standard Rules: 6 decks, H17, DAS, RSA 1.5 pen, avoiding counts below true -1.

My local casino does not have RSA. How big of a deal is that? I would think it is a pretty big deal.

Less of a big deal than any of the other rules. Its value to a counter is always variable, based on the game and the spread, so you can't give a single number. The only way to know what it's worth to you personally is to simulate the two games, as you play them -- one with and one without RSA.

For the H17 6-deck game, RSA is worth 0.068% to the basic strategist, but that isn't really relevant to the discussion.
