Soft Double and Soft Hit/Stand- Dealer’s CardĪs there seems to be some interest in this subject I'll throw my 2 cents worth in. Never double on 12 or more, never double on 7 or less.D= Double H= Hit the Bishop Basic Strategy, the Wizard Basic Strategy, and standard H17 multideck Basic Strategy.Īlways hit on 11 or less, always stand on 17 or more.H= Hit S= Stand I ran a sim comparing the Monkey Basic Strategy vs. Note: these results do not take into account the benefit of switching! That's a whole different topic, but it should be independent of the way you play each hand after you have switched, which is the purpose of a basic strategy. At this point you have enough information to provide a complete basic strategy for the game. Finally, you run another sim for the splits. You can do these all at once, just one sim. Once you have the correct basic strategy for hit-or-stand, you do the same thing with the hard and soft doubles. Then you run another sim for the 15's and the 14's, down to the 12's. By subtracting the resulting win rates for each player on the 16 plays, you can determine against what dealer upcard it is better to hit or to stand.
It works like this- you start with the hit-or-stand 16 plays, have two players playing agains the dealer, with the only difference being one always hits on 16, and one always stands on 16. What an ugly rule! Then I applied the brute-force method of deducing plays.

So I used my CVData simulator to find an ideal basic strategy.įirst, I programmed the push-on-22 rule into a CVData sim, by calling it a negative bonus, where if the player doesn't bust and the dealer busts with 22, the player pays his win back to the house. It's hard to visualize how this would make a difference, but apparently it does. The reason BJ Switch strategy differs from standard BS is the push-on-dealer-22 rule. I agree with you, VM, that if you're in a hot shoe, there's a benefit to those add'l decks.Two basic strategies for this game can be found on Arnold Snyder's Blackjack Forum Online site:Īnd another one by "The Wizard of Odds" Mike Shackleford can be found here:īoth differ from standard H17 strategy, and there are minor disagreements between the two. Reading this makes me determined now to "just do it" ! Thanks for posting. I always think I will play more BJ, but it doesn't happen. (I really don't want to be lol) I have gambled for years and I will say this: I am positive that I won more (or lost less at BJ than VP. A $100 minimum will get a double deck pitch game at these MGM Resorts casinos where players can double down after splitting and the dealer stands on all 17’s. For $50, these casinos offer the same rules where the dealer stands on all 17’s. I just googled to see if I could find current info and found this:Īria, Mirage and Bellagio offer the same games as SLS Las Vegas for $25.
When I used to play higher min( $100) DD pitch Mirage was my favorite. I was at SLS a while back and they also dealt a good lower min game. I play mostly at GVR and Sunset Station because of the "good" rules for low mins. I used to play a lot of BJ, but now just with friends and family, so it's lower min tables. My prefer is DD pitch with favorable rules.
