ace sequencing and manipulating ten questions

[realestate]

hello i read somewhere that receiving an Ace as the first cards gives you something like 51% advantage. what about in a 6:5 BJ game?

also i think i read somewhere that manipulating the ten to let the dealer bust is on average more powerful than getting and Ace. is this true? if it is, how can this be. because you dont know what the dealer's two cards are going to be. if the dealer's hand is 12 or greater then ten will be great but whats the probability that the dealer has 12 or greater?

are my questions answered in bja3? its on the way...

when the dealer busts, every hand at the table wins. If the dealer doesn't draw the ten as a hit card you will have a 14% edge receiving it on one hand. If the dealers two card total is 6 are you happy to give him the 10? what if you could have used that 10 to double your eleven?.. or hit your 7? my limited experience indicates manipulating a 10 to become the dealers hit card is the hard part. If you can master a skill like that, getting the info necessary to use the skill effectively is trivial.
