Lou Percalia: Any info from Puerto Rico?

[Lou Percalia]

Has anyone here ever played in Puerto Rico? I know the games are ENHC rule, but I've been unable to find any more info, such as: the other rules, penetration, heat, and CSM's. Any info anyone has will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The games are not ENHC. The dealer doesn't take a hole card, but you lose only your original bet to a natural, so there is no change in advantage.

Most rules are s17, das, no soft doubling, average pen. Heat depends on your stakes, but generally, it isn't as bad as Las Vegas.

Thank you. Sounds like a pretty typical East Coast shoe game with d9 thrown into the mix. That might change the split strategy a bit, good to know. Looks like there's no LSR either, oh well. I love that rule.

I'll be there in November and I'll post a trip report when I'm done.

No, no surrender, but you may find doubling on any two cards now.
