PaddyBoy: resplit aces

[PaddyBoy]

I got a dealer to resplit aces tonight,she is new and probably forgot the no resplit aces rule.
How much does this decrease the HE by in 6 deck game.I see from proBJ that this hand happens 544 times out of 100,000.So is it worth much?

PaddyBoy, The Theory of Blackjack states that for one deck the change in expectation will be 0.03% and for an infinite deck it will be 0.08%. For the six deck shoe you're playing the increase will be just under 0.08%. Hit em hard, The Side

Thats not bad.But it is probably just a once off,do new dealers often make mistakes like this and how can I exploit them?

[Sidewinder]

PaddyBoy, There's no harm in trying it with each dealer you play against. The worst that will happen is he/she will tell you it's not allowed. I couldn't say if new dealers make this mistake often as most players, including myself up to now, won't resplit aces if it's not allowed.

Just like a newcomer in every line of work however they will make a fair share of mistakes. Just keep your eyes open as some of them will not be in your favor. Good luck and Hit 'em hard, The Side

I sometimes play a game where as a bonus a pair of aces are paid 2/1 rather than splitting.
Does anyone know if the advantage is icreased and by how much.It is 3.0/4 doa, das etc.

[Sidewinder]

Mister M, You're advantage is obviously increased although I don't know by how much. Since aces cannot normally be resplit, or doubled on after the split, the best outcome for a split is 2 to 1 if both hands win. The casino in this case is guaranteeing your win. They sound like a swell bunch! Hit 'em hard, The Side

[Mister M]

The game refered to also has some interesting deviations::3.0/4,doa2,das,es(not ace),nhc(lose all),pair aces =2/1,5 card AUTOMATIC win,tied bj's are paid 3/2 if same suit or even otherwise and ace counts as 10 not 11 if drawn as a third card(double with 11 and draw ace = 21 not 12!)Insurance is 2/1.The downside is that bj is paid even money if not same suit(suited is 3/2.The game is Asian but I have no Idea how to caculate the e/v or strategy deviations.Can anybody help??
