Indexes for my spcific rules

[CountinCanadian]

Fairly new to counting, and where I play (Alberta, Canada) the rules are interesting.

H17, DOA, DAS, no hole card is drawn, ONLY LOSE ORIGINAL BET ON DEALER BJ, RSA, split up to 4 hands, early surrender (but not vs. Ace).

Here are the indexes that I have second nature to me thus far, and since it can be hard to find accurate indexes for my rules (I really have looked hard), I would like to make sure the ones I use are okay. They are floor indexes:

Surrender:
13 v 10...+3
14 v 10...0
17 v 10...+5
7,7 v 10... 0

Stand:
16 v A... +3
15 v A... +5
16 v 10...0
16 v 9....+4
15 v 10...+4
13 v 2... -1
12 v 4...0
12 v 3... +2
12 v 2... +3

Double:
8 v 6...+2
9 v 2... +1
9 v 7... +3
10 v A... +3
10 v 10...+4
11 v A I always double because of only losing original bet vs dealer BJ but idk if this is correct
A, 6 v 2... +1
A, 8 v 5... +1
A, 2 v 5... 0
A, 4 v 4... 0
A, 7 v 2... 0
A, 8 v 4... +3

9 v 3 is a basic strategy double but for the most part these are fine or off by one.


i would refrain from doubling 9 v 7 until +5 and surrender 77 v T at -1 or higher. stand 16 v 9 at +5. but it wouldnt make much difference

[Meistro123]

you also need A9 v 5 & 6 plus the ten splits not to mention 13 v 3

[Meistro123]

11 v A I always double because of only losing original bet vs dealer BJ but idk if this is correct

11 v A is a basic strategy double and a hit in negative counts. Your thinking is not correct, an OBO hole card game (that is to say a game that is dealt without a hole card but where the dealer only takes the original bet in the event of a blackjack) is functionally identical to a game where the dealer takes a hole card.

Sorry 9 v 3 was a typo, should've been double 9v2@+1

So add
10,10 v 6... +4
10,10 v 5... +5
13 v 3... -2
A,9 v 6... +4
A, 9 v 5... +5

And I changed the other suggestions in my notebook

[Meistro123]

Split TT v 5 and 6 at +7 because it is not really worth the additional variance until a higher true count. This also makes it a relatively rare play which helps you stay under the radar.

[Meistro123]

Also :

Hit 16 v 9 instead of surrender in any negative count.

[CountinCanadian]

Thanks very much. I have changed my indexes to follow all your corrections.

[Meistro123]

10 v 10 I would not double at +4 this is a pretty risky play, I recommend either abstaining from this double entirely or at the very least waiting until say +7.

[CountinCanadian]

I was also wondering if you have an index for surrendering 15 v 9 with these rules?

Are you from Alberta? How do you know these indexes are correct.

+2

[Meistro123]

G Man is referring to surrendering 15 v 9 at plus two or higher. You will also want to surrender 16 v 8 at plus four or above.

Many thanks. Those were the indexes I thought, I just wasn't sure if they were right for my game, as the surrender rules are funky with my rules, with surrendering 14 v 10 etc. as a basic strategy play, so I haven't been using them yet.
