    Basic Strategy question

    Hey everyone, first post here. I've been lurking a bit lately. So thanks for all of the insight. I'm not looking to become a pro or rich. I just enjoy gambling and would like to minimize the houses edge as much as possible. Basically, I just want to know if this Basic Strategy for H17 is correct. I've seen some slight variations.

    5-8 hit
    9 D 3-6
    10 D 2-9
    11 D 2-10
    12 stand 4 5 6
    13-16 stand 2-6
    17-20 stand
    A2/3 D 5+6
    A4/5 D 4-6
    A6 D 3-6
    A7 D 3-6 stand 2,7,8
    A8/9 stand
    2s/3s split 2-7
    4s split 5/6
    5s D 2-9
    6s split 2-6
    7s split 2-7
    9s split 2-6,8,9 stand 7,10,A
    10s stand
    8s/As split always

    It has taken me approx 10 hours of studying flash cards/ running iphone apps to master this. I just want someone to weigh in if anything is missing, so I can start implementing it now. I see people recommending soft 19 to double against a 6, is that basic strategy or a counters deviation? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -phill
