1. one deck

2. bj 1:1

Off the top of my head, I'm going to say that the house edge is very close to 3%, or more. This is a HORRIBLE game; even if it WERE countable, it would take a very sick masochist to attempt it.

My online combinatorial analyzer can handle these rules except for player automatically winning if dealer's hand contains 6 cards.

Overall EV for best strategy is -2.479%.

Auto win for 6 card dealer hand wouldn't be worth much particularly for single deck. This rule wouldn't put much of a dent into the above EV.

You could get the above EV for yourself by changing 3 of the default inputs and clicking 'Compute'. Change BJ Odds to 1 to 1, DOUBLING/restrictions to H10-11, and AUTO WINNER to 6 card and leave everything else as is.

Of course you can change any of the defaults, input a different number of decks, change shoe composition, or input a player hand as you please. Once inputs are made simply click 'Compute' to calculate probabilities for what was input.
