    Nvm, forget it, cause players acts first, so if we bust dealer doesnt have to play anymore that round, where th edge would probably come from

    Mimic the dealer: For my analysis of this strategy I assumed the player would always hit 16 or less and stand on17 or more, including a soft 17. The player never doubled or split, since the dealer is not allowed to do so. This "mimic the dealer" strategy results in a house edge of 5.48%.

    BigJer, but when I mimic the dealer I hit soft 17. Please re-run your numbers.

    I'm just kidding. I would never mimic the dealer. Plus, I only play S17 tables.

    Mimic the dealer comes from the Ploppy Bible, verse 1 chapter 11, wherein it states thusly: CASINOS ALWAYS WIN OUR MONEY. SO THEREFORE, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS MIMIC THE BLACKJACK DEALER AND VOILA! ... WE MUST WIN TOO. (chapter 2 says: NEVER TAKE THE DEALER BUST CARD).
