Early Surrender House Edge Doubt

[Freightman]

I find it incredible that, when someone states something as clearly as the OP did, everyone wants to rewrite history and reinterpret his words for him. Clear as daylight, he wrote that you can't surrender against any other dealer upcard. But everyone knows better that, in fact, you can. Were you there? Do you know the game he's referring to?

He did state it clearly as to what the rules were. He could easily have got it wrong - it’s happened many times before. I covered both scenarios.

But who has ever played at a casino that prohibits surrender against a six, while allowing it against other cards? That just doesn't make sense. Invariably ES10 games allow surrender against any card except Ace. Of course it is possible, but more likely OP misspoke.

In any event, for the OP, if you want an answer from someone who is sober (!), ES10 is worth 0.241% to the basic strategist playing against a 6-deck game. It is, of course, worth much more to a counter. LS, on the other hand, is worth only 0.073% for 6-deck S17 and 0.088% for H17, and so is far inferior to ES10.

Does ES10 change any basic strategy plays? For reference, my city has 6deck H17 DAS DOA RSA to 4 hands ES10

Thanks!

Of course it changes basic strategy. ES all 14s (including 7,7), 15, and all 16s (including 8,8).
