The largest hand the dealer can have is 12 cards, six aces, then a six, and then five aces. If they hit a soft 17, then it is 13 cards. Just replace the six with an ace five.
Just thought I'd share.
How do dealers seem to pull all those multi card hands all the time?
Answer: We get to try for 17 EVERY time, and it's very easy to notice and remember when the dealer does it. Just think about it a second, if Ace Ace comes, which is common, there are 4 cards pulled already and not much value has been added yet. If you tried for 17 every time you would get the same results.
