    When would a surrender index be a reverse index? That just doesn't seem like it would ever happen.

    Yep, I forgot about the affect of more T's on surrendering against an ace. You know there isn't one underneath and if the dealer is hitting 2 face cards bust him (except H17 with a soft 17)

    Could you please give us an example of what you mean. So I can gain more understanding.

    What it comes down to, is that you cannot generate one index alone without knowing the indices that you will use that come after its use. So, how would you know the index for splitting threes against a deuce if you didn't know how you were going to play the hands after drawing another card after splitting or not splitting? Once you decide to split or not, you will be presented with additional decisions. The index generator must know how you will handle those situations. It cannot assume that you will make those correctly based on all possible indices. It must know how you will actually make those decisions.

    Yes, and with H17, a dealer with an ace has two chances of getting a decent hand with plenty of low cards left. If he doesn't bust, you're probably screwed. One of the biggest myths among amateurs (not normally seen in blackjack myth lists) is that 17 is a good hand. 17 is actually a worse hand than 6.

    That's interesting, my wife HATES when she gets a 17...
