Hi,
I remembered James Grojean mentioned in Beyond Counting that we should double on soft 21 when we get Ace after we split Tens, as it doesn't pay 2 to 1. Today my friend splitted Tens against 5 (the true count was about 8 and we used Hi-Los system.) He got a 9 on the first and Ace on the second, which made a soft 21. I told him (well, I wasn't very serious) that he should double on the soft 21 and he said that I was crazy and stay the hand.
The next player had A6 and got a Ten as he doubled it. The dealer got Ten under and drew a 6, which made 21. It was a disaster...
We didn't ask to check the last card as we both didn't really want to know what would happen if he had doubled the soft 21.
Anyway, what I want to know is, have anyone really doubled soft 21 in real life? Does anyone hae the index? I believe theoretically it's very profitable, but I really doubt if anyone would do it...
