Freddie: 8,8 v. A when TC=-1

[Freddie]

Wong gives this index in Professional. I might not be thinking clearly, but is it above -1 split or hit? I know basic says to hit, so does that mean below -1 is split? This is w/o surrender and since he only gives all the indexs for 4 decks thats what i'm using. Also its h17.

Thanks!

Right so far. :-)

You're not. :-)

Split.

> I know basic says to hit,

No, it doesn't. BS says to surrender, and if you can't do that, then split.

No, see above. You're confused.

No, when H17, multi-deck, you surrender 8,8, v. A whether or not DAS.

OK got it. I don't play H17 usually...
multideck s17
88 v A sp ~ -40%
H17
Surrender -50%
hit -55%
