Double Down Probabilities available online

I've just posted a new page in the tournament strategy section at BlackjackInfo. It shows exact double down probabilities for a six-deck S7 game, for every possible two-card player hand.

This information is sometimes useful in analyzing tournament strategy decisions.

It appears to be a typo and should be S17.

It's a special rule, where the dealer stands on 7 or higher.

Just kidding! Jackaroo is right. It's a typo for S17. Dealer stands on all 17s, including soft 17s.

Thanks Ken for this interesting table. On first inspection I would have produced this table with less precision, say to tenths of a percent instead of thousandths. It would be easier on the eye without losing any information.

(Really, I am not bitching!)
