No, the double exposure chart says stand on everything except 14 v. AA. When the dealer exposes both cards in a regular game, the chart is more relaxed with 14s.I would play these like an 8 for surrender purposes, surrendering 16s at +4. When the count got almost that high, I would not hit the 14. When the count went negative 1 or 2, I would hit the 15. Never hit the 16. That is about it.
Quiet useless newbie. I was helping him. I checked my reasoning to make sure he was provided with the best info I could give. Soft hands are stronger than an 8. But under these weird circumstances, their bust percentage is like a deuce. I did not account for the fact that hitting would help less than normal in this situation. I just equivocated it to a dealer's upcard. I reposted the correction in 5 minutes. Nice post, great contribution.
say you were dealt a 9,7 v. 10. You saw the burn card, a 5. Is basic strategy to hit still correct at RC 0? Or does basic strategy always assume a negative count...except in an infinite amount of decks, where the count does not matter, but where the strategy becomes a hit anyway?
Basic strategy assumes the only cards you are aware of being played are the ones in the hand matchup, your cards and the dealer upcard. Composition dependent BS assumes knowledge of the specific cards and total dependent BS uses the weighted average for of frequency times gain or loss of all possible hands combined. It has nothing to do with the TC 0 except that the TC won't be far from 0 depending on the number of decks used because not many cards are considered. If you are considering splitting 44v4 off the top in a 6 deck game the TC is +1 for the matchup using HIOPT II. The HIOPT II index is +6. In double deck the RC is +3 and in SD the TC is +6. No surprise that it is only a BS split in SD.
