Most seem to dismiss this game for card counting, but I would like to hear what you guys have to say about it. This Wizzard of odds has the 2 deck house edge at 1.3%. This means we can't really up our bets until TC=3, which is pretty bad.
On the other hand, the pen I have seem is always great, 85% or better. Heat is usually not an issue even spreading 1-20, and I think these rules probably favor the player even more in high counts than is figured into the off the top edge:
Player may hit and double down to split aces.
Player may take late surrender on any number of cards.
Player may surrender half of total bet after doubling, what is called "Double Down Rescue" in Spanish 21.
Is it still not worth playing compared to a good DD game even after considering all of these things?
