Help with the correct basic chart

#1
Hi

I am all new to BJ (have studied basic strategycharts for about a month), and i am a little confused. The Rules in the casino where i will be playing is:
6 decks, dealer stands on soft 17, double on 9, 10 and 11, split maximum 3 times, and double after split allowed.
My problem is that i have found several basic strategy charts for these rules, but they are not equal. Can anyone help me with the correct chart for these rules ???????????

You can dial those rules in on the Strategy Engine here on this site. There is no parameter for splitting 3 times, but that, I believe, is assumed.

Hi Mikeaber

Thanks for your quick response. I have allready chekked the chartgenerator on this site, but i just wanted to be sure that it is correct, cause most other charts i have found says that i should double if i have 11 and the dealer have 10, but this one does not.

Doubling 11 vs Ten is correct, and that's what the Strategy Engine will tell you, unless you are playing a European No Hole Card game.

Make sure you are setting that appropriately, and check the Engine again.

Ah, I see you posted this question also under 'Europe', so I bet you really should be using ENHC. In that case, the Engine's advice to not double 11vT is correct, and the other charts you mentioned are wrong.

By the way, what are the differences between a typical U.S. game and a European No Hole Card game?
The housEdge is a wee bit higher in the Euro version. zg

Allen,

I'm not sure how "basic" an explanation you were wanting.

The traditional American Blackjack game is dealt so that the players get one card face up, and the dealer gets a card face up. Then the players are dealt another card face up and the dealer deals himself one face down. Most casinos require that the dealers ask players who have a "natural" blackjack if they want "even money" if the dealer has an Ace showing. He will then give the opportunity (if that is a good word), for any insurance bets if he has an Ace showing. He then checks to see if he has a "natural" blackjack. If he doesn't, then after all decisions are made by the players, the dealer flips his hole card face up and completes his play.
