    Single deck house edge?

    Whats the house edge with these rules?

    3:2 Single deck continuous shuffle
    S17 nDAS Double hard 9-11
    Player auto wins on any 6 cards
    Dealer stops drawing after 6 cards (and highest total between player and dealer wins, ex 6 card dealer 16 beats a player standing on 15, and vice versa)

    Also, what deviations should be made to BS, for example should we be hitting a 5 card 16 v 10? What about a 5 card 13-16 v 2? v 3?
    Etc..
    May the Variance be with you.

    Auto win on 6 cards appears to be the same as 6 card Charlie rule.

    I would use the strategy for 6 card Charlie from Wizard of Odds.

    House edge for single deck double on 9, 10, 11 S17 with no DAS is .11% with the charlie rule probably an even game. The key would be can you get one more hand before shuffle.

    Also it's no double after split

    And how do you factor in the fact that the dealer stops taking a hit after 6 cards? It would only hurt your 12 thru 16s when they dont bust

    Sorry, I didn't mean no resplits. I meant no DAS.

    That's such an unlikely event, especially with single deck, I'd simply ignore it.
