A few close calls that I'd like to hear people weigh in on. The charts vary based on the table I'm looking at. Very close, but I'd like to hear.
Game is: 8dk, DAS, Late Surr, no RSA
7/7 vs 8. Split, or just Hit?
15 vs 9. Surrender, or just Hit?
I know this depends on the count. What if it's off the top of the 8-decks?

I know these are close, so any strategy adjustment has a minor effect. Just want to be doing it optimally.
Basic strategy doesn't get discussed! There are no second opinions: there is the right way for each play, period.
you will find correct BS in BJA3, among other places, and on many sites on the Internet, including the one I sent you.

I want to make sure my indices are right. Want to play these hands correctly.
Thx!

Looks like a pretty good site. I'm sure Wiz of Odds #s are good. Want to check some of my #s.
You said you were looking for BS. Is that still the case? How many versions of CORRECT BS do you think there can be???
Don
Agree with Don. There is only one correct BS in one situation.
However, you may adjust the BS depends on the current true count.
Or you may in a different rule, such as European No Hole Card rule,
So that you have to adjust the BS like:
Don't doubling down if 10/11 facing dealer's up card of 10 and Ace. etc.
Rhetorical?
By definition the BS-player doesn't pay attention to the count for strategy purposes (typically he doesn't even count).
But of course he has to pay attention to the rule set.
Your example with ENHC is good. In fact, when somebody splits the eights against a face card in Europe, there is a fair chance he is American :-).

I hear u. Maybe I phrased the Q incorrectly.
I wanted to know the trigger point on where a different decision is indicated. Some of the Canfield indices indicate different plays off the top.
I think you can afford it. Besides there needs to be more humor over there. Yeah do it Gorgon. Go for it!
Finally, it became clear you're looking for indices.
Here are your answers:
8/18 v Ace stand at +1
15 v 9 surrender at +2
7/7 v 8 no index always hit

Mr. Milo, how direct would you like Mr. Schlesinger to be?
Then, what you speak of is not basic strategy anymore. They are departures from basic strategy.
Yes, it's no longer BS if you adjust it. However you may get a better chance.
Sorry for the poor English.
Why not splitting 7-7 vs 8 at +3 or +4?
