The game: 6D, no hole card, (very) late surrender. Since the dealer doesn't take a hole card they put a lammer on top of your cards when you surrender. If you surrender and the dealer ends up with blackjack then you lose everything. If you insure half your bet and the dealer ends up with blackjack then of course you break even. You cannot surrender and insure the same hand.
I'm playing first base playing two spots and there is one other player at third base playing one spot. I'm dealt T,5 and T,6 vs. dealer Ace at a True 3. The other player has 2,2 and his hit cards could easily make the TC drop to below 3 before the dealer takes his second card.
So surrender or insure?
Okay, best answer will come from me, so I give up for this post. I lean to surrender.
Since you lose all against dealer BJ without insurance, dealer upcard is an ace, and game is not NHC, but ENHC. This is an important distinction. Further, since there is no hole card, you likely have ES10, however, since there no hole card, you may only have LS after all hands played, regardless if dealer upcard is face or ace.
Now, for the obvious. Since you have LS Ace, and you’re asking about insurance. Then dealer upcard must be ace. Who the heck knows what your table mate will get, but don’t let that get in the way.
Your at true 3, or is it more. Is your bankroll strong or shoe string. Have you considered the issues of risk averse or insuring for less, essentially the same thing, or insuring one and not the other. Not an easy answer.
Of course, if you are at strike point true 3.0 hi lo, have crap hands, your decision making would be improved by subscription to the FBM ASC.
I’m not familiar with any ENHC Canada locations which will not allow both insurance and surrender.
