    Nify: European No Hole Card

    "Basic strategy says to not double or split anything vs. dealer's 10 or ace, except continue to split aces vs. 10."
    Don,I noticed that in KO the basic strategy calls for doubling down 11 vs 10, and when reaching the pivot point it calls to double down 11 vs A.
    As I am playing european no hole card should I no longer double 11 vs 10 while playing B.S.
    When doubling down and the dealer makes a natural, I only lose one bet.

    If you lose only one bet, you are NOT playing ENHC!! This is an ongoing problem in terminology that many players don't understand. By definition, it is only ENHC if you lose all doubled and split bets to a natural!

    If you don't, but the dealer doesn't take a hole card, as in Puerto Rico, for example, we don't refer to that as ENHC, and, in fact, there's no need to refer to it at all, since nothing concerning BS changes in any way.
