    Please help to verify the House Edge

    BJ game rules :-

    1) Single deck, H17, BJ pay 3 : 2
    2) ES10, no surrender against Ace.
    3) ALL pairs(including A-A) are allow to split to max 4 hands.
    4) No peek / ENHC.
    5) only 1 card to split A-A.
    6) DAS, D10.

    I have two different answer from different sources, i.e 0.2302% and 0.2459%. Please help to verify the HE and it's Basic strategy.

    If only allowed 1 card to AA, you cannot split to 4 hands. Please clarify.

    Can rseplit A-A to 4 hands but not allow to hit another card

    For example, A-A, split and form A-A and A-A, then you split again to A-2, A-8, A,T and A-6.

    However, you are not allow to HIT for A-2 and A-6.

    Virtually all casinos that allow RSA only allow one card to split aces.

    D10 does NOT mean that you can't double down on 11. It means you may double on 10 and 11 only.

    Unless you lose all against a dealer blackjack on doubles/splits, in which case it's -0.01%

    Well according to Professional Blackjack by Stanford Wong's section on calculating your advantage, it's -0.01% based on the info you gave, but I'm no pro so see what the others say.
