I know this question has been debated and relitigated beyond the point of boring but there still doesn’t seem to be anything like a consensus: Do cover plays ala the Ultimate Gambit have any value today?
Correct me if I'm wrong. The poster didn't mention if the game was S17 or H17.
Using Hi-Lo, standing on soft 18 vs A at +1 is the correct play in S17 games while in H17 games, one should always Hit soft 18 vs A.
Right ?

I assumed just regular Strip-rules, H17. There is no index number for that hand in H17 Don? Splitting 9s vs A on a high count, then receiving a 6 and stand is perhaps a better example, to avoid confusion. My point was first you lose your insurance bet, then you destroy your 18, and then you stand with a hard 15 (or 16) against the strongest upcard ever created, which looks extremely counterintuitive.
