    Need opinions and strategy suggestions on a "strange" blackjack rule

    Hey,

    my name is Alex, I'm from Germany and this is my first post in this Forum. Since english is not my first language, please excuse any spelling or grammatical errors

    So now to my question. I'll be heading on a boat-trip next month, and this boat will have a casino where I will hopefully be playing Blackjack. Since, as you know, rules in BJ matter a lot,
    I already asked the casino via mail about the offered rules on the boat. With following answer:

    - ENHC (European Blackjack)
    - No CSM
    - 6 Decks
    - BJ pays 3:2
    - Stand all 17s
    - Double hards only on 9, 10 and 11
    - DAS allowed
    - No surrender

    When I then asked what about doubling on soft hands I got an answer I really NEVER heard about and now I'm confused:

    - Doubling a soft hand is allowed on any number, but the Ace MUST count as 1 afterwards.
    What will mean -> Doubling on A8 and get a 2 is a 11 and cant be counted as a 21.

    Can you please share your opinion about that rule and are there (or can anybody calculate) basic strategy tables for doubling softhands under these conditions?
    Since I'll be using the REKO-Count, any advice on deviation from basic strategy on these rules would also be welcome

    Hope you guys can help me out here

    Regards,
    Alex
