dovik: Player advantage in BJ game

[dovik]

These are the conditions:

1) 6 decks, only one card dealt to dealer, european style.
2) Continuous Shuffle Machine,
3) ESR - Early Surrender (against any card)
4) RSA - Resplitting Aces Allowed but only one card given
5) DAS - Double Down after Splitting
6) unlimited splitting

I come up with an advantage for the player of 0.36%.
What do you think about it?

For 6D S17 ENHC SPL3 SMA DOA DAS ES I get a player advantage of:

TD Strategy: 0.19%

I assumed the S17 and DOA parts though so if those are wrong then just post the complete set of rules. There isn't any significant difference between SPL3 and unlimited splits though and my CA only does SPL3.

Not worth any more than SPL3, already assumed.

From above, I get, +0.185.

Well if you want more decimal places then the EV with SPL3 is:
