    Question about KO bj ans ENHC

    Hello peeps,

    in my current re-reading of KO BJ, I stumble across an information I’m not quite sure would be okay with my casino conditions.

    p85 there’s a table with 18 indexes you need to know for KO Preferred bj (17+insurance)

    my conditions : 6d enhc das doa max split 4.

    What I’m struggling with are these indexes


    10 vs 10
    10 vs A
    11 vs A

    He says to double down instead of hit these hands, because the count is high.

    why would I do that ?
    doubling down vs a dealer’s ace or ten is stupid, with enhc i would lose my initial bet + my double bet if dealer push me ... and there’s high chances he Push me because with this upcard, the high count profits him aswell.

    i’m really not sure if these indexes are correct for enhc games ....


    also,
    he doesn’t say anything about the 5/5 hand. In his BS you hit 5/5 vs 10 or A. High count would mean to double that hand aswell ? why talk about 10 vs A and 10 vs 10 but don’t speak about 5/5 and say you play all splits exactly like the BS says ? (Ig: hit)

    Thanks

    If so you can't use them for ENHC games. There will be differences when doubling or splitting against a T or A. Also surrender rules and strategy will be different.

    So I must ignore these indexes and play according to the BS ?
    But I can use the rest of indexes like 12v2 etc ? Makes no difference wether it's HC or ENHC right ?

    ENHC is different than the dealer can have a BJ if the take more than your original bet when the dealer has a BJ. If they take your Original Bet Only (OBO) the strategy is the same as no peek. ENHC often offers different rules for surrender. Usually ES10 which means you can surrender against a T before the dealer gets a card. Full ES would let you do that against an A as well. The rest of the game is uneffected by ENHC. I believe ENHC implies that you lose all bets to a BJ unless otherwise stated.

    I'm fairly confident aswell that Casinos in my area take everything you put on the table, and not OBO.
    Therefore, under these circumstances, I should forget about the 3 indexes listed above and play exactly like BS, no-matter the count.

    If it's ENHC, never double 10/11 vs A. There is no index to, ever. Don't do it

    No. You should use the ENHC indices when playing against a T. I would drop 10vT because I doubt it is worth the risk but I don't play ENHC so how would I know.

    For ENHC, there is no index for 10v10. Never double it at any count.

    It should only change a few plays vs 10 and A. Don't even think there's any different "indexes" to know. Just ignore the ones for doubling 10 vs 10 and A, A vs 10 and A, splitting 88 vs 10 and A, and splitting AA vs A. Never do these things at all, no matter the count. Everything else is the same.
