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%.
edit: opps sorry bigjer, just duplicated your post.

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).
