Sure. Whatever you'd like. It makes perfectly good sense just the way he wrote it. Doubling what you call a soft 20, but what should be called A,9, isn't anywhere near a bad mistake. Like splitting tens, it's a very high positive-e.v. play. It's just that standing is even higher.
But, if you were trying to show just how bad a mistake could be, doubling your hard 20 is about as bad as it gets.
So, how much would you like to bet?!

There are still much less costly cover plays to make at minimum bets than insurance.
Do u know what the house edge is for insuring two 10s? In a single deck game heads up it's above 15% or in other words close to 50x the EV differential for some basic strategy hit/stand decisions.
Routinely taking insurance incorrectly doesn't represent good bang for buck. Your EV will go much further with other cover plays.
makes sense but per occurence it is not that costly . You may not need to do it doing it all time ,anyway i play 6d or Dd . it certainly wont kill me . Don't forget the wong outs you can use .i have been profitable for over 3000 hours so i don't think i got it wrong . Also being able to play is just as important if the cover justify , the "IF" is really important .
