    He's practicing brevity - he's doing well.

Talk about an esoteric question. Perhaps there is a reason that combination is not even listed in Professional Blackjack's appendices? =(
    It is an idiot move in my book. Why waste my time? I like the certainty of the 21 enough that there isn't a high enough EV difference to make me double, especially when you consider the heat factor. Like I said only an idiot or a slash and burn player would do this. I doubt the latter would do it either but you never know. Many can only consider maximizing EV. It never occurs to them to maximize the certainty of BR growth.

    Perfect index 10,A (soft) vs 6 = 8.1

    EV TC 8 this hand-

    Stay= 0.9135
    Double= 0.9112

    EV TC 9-

    Stay= 0.9150
    Double= 0.9405

    Perfect index 10,A (soft) vs 5 = 8.5

    EV TC 8 this hand-
    Stay= 0.9013
    Double= 0.8848

    EV TC 9 this hand-
    Stay= 0.9027
    Double= 0.9179

    As an aside ... Doubling on a BJ is strictly forbidden in some states, e.g. New Jersey !

    Just to clarify it is not a Blackjack since it doesn't pay 3 to 2 it is a soft 21.

    Aside from the EV, that as Gram showed is QUITE minute, why in the world would you want to bring THAT MUCH ATTENTION to your table if you were to do this. I have seen it maybe...........twice..........tried in my entire blackjack life. Once by a drunk; once by an idiot who doubled and split damn near anything no matter what the dealer's card. And there was so much attention..........by the pit...........by the dealer..........by others at the table as to WHY IN THE WORLD would you do this?

    Even given what ZenFlash states about some state's jurisdiction, this play will NEVER go without attention. The dealer will call it out; question you; the pit will question you AND anyone else at the table will question you. It's not worth it. Period.
