Doubling A,8 vs 6 is THE CORRECT BASIC STRATEGY!

Piss on what others at the table think.
Despite your short posting career here - at least under this handle - I believe I've already had you pegged as a bonehead. So what if it's basic, old or new. I think you've missed the point made by some pretty smart posters.

If you want to EV maximize, be my guest. If you want to EV maximize every play out there, be my guest again, but be prepared for the variance roller coaster. If you want to maximize the amount if money you make,then consider a combination of EV maximizing plays with risk averse plays.
