What if a basic strategy player, played exactly how a dealer plays against us, what woild be the house edge? Never doubled, never split, hit 12-16 vs 2-6, etc, for a general s17 hame or h17 game
http://wizardofodds.com/games/blackjack/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%.
NT do you just only play S17 games because you have the choice? I know higher limit usually has better games and S17. But would you play H17 if it had other good conditions like surrender or 1 deck or less pen?
Also i thought i read somewhere that S17 has big negative impact on a basic strategy player but not so much on a card counter. I could be making that up im not sure.
edit: opps sorry bigjer, just duplicated your post.
