soft 18 & 19 doubling

I am a regular 6 and 8 deck shoe player in AC.(satnd 17, DAS, 75% pen)
I have always played soft 18's and 19's against dealer 5, 6 very conservatively by standing. I have decided to begin playing these hands more aggressively, but have seen several differnet numbers for when to double. Does anyone know the proper indices??

A8 vs 3 double >=5, vs 4, double >= 3, vs 5, double >= 1, vs 6, double >= 1;

A9 vs 3 double >= 8, vs 4, double >= 6, vs 5, double >= 5, vs 6, double >= 4.

All are hi-lo, S17.

Or did I?

I'm sure he appreciates the work you went to, but he stated soft 18 and 19, not A8 and A9. :)

of course, soft 19 is A8, so I got one of 'em. :)

But let me try this again.

soft 17 vs 3, 4, 5, and 6, double at -3, -7, -9 and -11. Or for the smart player, always double as you ought not be playing at those TC values if you can help it. :)

soft 18 vs 3, 4, 5 and 6, double at 5, 3, 1 and 1.

Soft 19 vs 3, 4, 5 and 6, double at 8, 6, 5 and 4.

Hope that is better.

"But let me try this again."

And again, I'm afraid.

"soft 17 vs 3, 4, 5, and 6, double at -3, -7, -9 and -11."

So far, so good.

"soft 18 vs 3, 4, 5 and 6, double at 5, 3, 1 and 1."

Oops. Wrong again! This is A,8, or soft 19.

"Soft 19 vs 3, 4, 5 and 6, double at 8, 6, 5 and 4."

Nope. This is A,9, of soft 20.

"Hope that is better."

Hardly. Third time's a charm. Keep trying. :-)

Not quite. Those are soft 18, or A-7.

"soft 18 vs 3, 4, 5 and 6, double at 5, 3, 1 and 1."

Oops. Wrong again! This is A,8, or soft 19.

Correct. I meant A8, not soft 18.

"Soft 19 vs 3, 4, 5 and 6, double at 8, 6, 5 and 4."

Nope. This is A,9, of soft 20.

Ditto. A9 not soft 19.

"Hope that is better."

Hardly. Third time's a charm. Keep trying. :-)

The three sets were A7, A8 and A9. Not soft 17 for the first which was wrong, not soft 18 or 19 for the other two either.

As the rat made a bit of a mess, here are my indices for your plays:

Soft18 vs 6 -9.5
Soft18 vs 5 -7.3 or in other words double always for these two!

Soft19 vs 6 +0.8
Soft19 vs 5 +1.5
