A guy called me and said my software says it is wrong to late surrender A2vA. I tried for seven minutes to explain how bad a play this is. Unbelievably bad. Strip rules, hitting has a -10.043% EV according to
Blackjack Attack. Surrender has, of course, a -50% EV. An amazing five times as bad. He continued to claim that he has been playing for 40 years, and he knows that hitting is stupid. At the end of the conversation, he said “Well, I hope you’ve learned something today.”
I may have learned something -- but not what he thinks.
