    Please help me with ENHC play

    Hi.

    I an American Blackjack player playing europe now, and I've never played here before. I need help on how to adjust my basics strategy as well as illustrious 18 indices to accurate European no hole card rules.

    I know one game I will play is 6D S17 DAS ES10. How do I also adjust for ES10.

    So in summary what basic strategy and I18 indices are changed with ENHC and ES10?

    Thank you. Its difficult to find information on this on the web almost no real advice for card counters and I dont have CVCX here only back home in Atlanta.

    THANKS EVERYONE

    That being said, basics are as follows.
    You do not double 11v10 or 10 v 10 (some exceptions), and you do not split 88 v 10 or Ace. That should be obvious. ES10 is simply adjusting your index 16,15,14,13 V 10 and ace surrenders. Example 14 and 13 v 10 indexes are 0 and 3. if you at least have Wongs Professional Blackjack - I think around page 92 or so, there’s a full list of ES and ES 10 surrender indexes. Full ES I think has a 17 surrender - but I would always have Wongs book mentioned for good sound basics when I’m on the road going to new territory. There is significant material on site regarding ENHC.

    Now, to clarify - ENHC differs from NHC which is common to my area. Usual Hole Card is marginally superior to NHC in evaluation (NHC eating high value cards when count is high and Hole Card dealer peeks). I prefer the NHC game as game is much faster since dealer doesn’t need to peek. Significant hands per hour differential translates to higher EV.

    I look forward to your next travel report when you revel in your 3 year 20k earnings summary.

    Full ES is a basic play to surrender 17 vs A
    With ES10, you will surrender 17 vs 10 at +5

    You don't split A,A vs. A either. So the only extra money you put on the table via splits or doubles is still split A,A vs. T.

    And the logic is really simple here. Dealer ace up has 30.7% probability of scoring blackjack.
    Dealer 10 up has 7.69% probability of scoring BJ.

    Freightman you really hurt my feelings and made me feel bad about myself. I am already playing in a very homophobic country (Croatia) I dont need to be hearing anything more negative to push me over the edge.

    Then just keep your fucking mouth shut when you’re on this side of the pond. No more of this (redacted by Freightman) while referring to innocents while referring to your (redacted by Freightman) unusual body composition.

    Don’t start something you can’t finish. As my father used to say (yelling by the way) - WHEN YOU FOOL AROUND,SOMEONE ALWAYS GETS HURT.
